This one-of-a-kind hand-crafted post-and-beam home, named Sakonnet Shores, is a rare blend of artistry, sustainability, and connection to the land and sea. Built with traditional timber-frame techniques without a single nail the red oak beams were sourced from Massachusetts, hand-cut with wooden pegs, and raised on-site in the tradition of Amish barns. Red cedar siding, wide-plank antique pine floors milled from historic Fall River beams, and exposed timber throughout create warmth and timeless beauty. Built with SIP panels, solar design, and participation in the RI Energy program, the home is both efficient and income-generating. Natural light pours in through Pella and Andersen windows, French doors, sliders, and 10 skylights that frame saltwater views. Modern comforts include two dishwashers, dual laundry areas, a chef's kitchen with cathedral ceilings, soapstone counters, bar seating for 12, and a walk-in pantry. The primary suite offers a spa bath, private patio, and outdoor shower, complemented by additional bedrooms, flexible office space, and multiple patios for entertaining. Fireplaces in the living room and upper salon invite cozy gatherings, while the lower-level gym doubles as a fifth bedroom with a sauna and steam shower. The 1.68-acre grounds feature flowering trees, hydrangeas, and saltwater frontage with rights to two moorings. Just minutes to Newport and 30 minutes to Providence, it's a rare coastal retreat.
