Here is your once-in-a-generation chance to plant roots or pour a foundation on one of the most coveted barrier islands on the entire New England coast. Plum Island is an 11-mile barrier island named for the wild beach plums that grow in its sandy dunes. Right at the heart of it all sits 32 Plum Island Blvd .25 acre lot w/ roots going back to 1935, now ready for a bold new vision. The existing structure has lived a full life. Now it's time to let the land speak. Whether you choose to tear down & build fresh or gut-renovate and reimagine, this lot offers something no amount of money can manufacture: location, ocean proximity, & the soul of Plum Island. Envision a custom-designed coastal home rising from this footprint- soaring ceilings of glass that frame the Atlantic, wide-plank white oak floors, wraparound decks where salt air replaces every worry, & a rooftop perch from which you can watch the sun melt into the Parker River marsh to the west while the full moon rises over the ocean.
