Waterfront Elegance at 6 Follett Lane: A Rare Kittery Point Treasure

Price: AUCTION

Location: 6 Follett Lane, Kittery, ME 03905

Nestled along the pristine shores of Kittery Point, Maine, where the Piscataqua River meets the Atlantic Ocean, lies one of New England’s most coveted waterfront communities. This historic enclave has long attracted discerning buyers seeking the perfect blend of maritime heritage, natural beauty, and sophisticated coastal living. 

At 6 Follett Lane, an extraordinary opportunity awaits those seeking to own a piece of Maine’s maritime legacy. This approximately one-acre waterfront point commands spectacular panoramic views of three iconic lighthouses, historic Fort Constitution, and the distant Isle of Shoals, creating a living tableau of New England’s storied coastal heritage. The property’s 423 feet of direct frontage on both the Piscataqua River and Spruce Creek positions it as one of the most strategically located waterfront parcels in the region.

The existing structure, known historically as the “Piggin House” or “Gerrish House,” carries profound historical significance dating back to circa 1750. This colonial-era dwelling represents nearly three centuries of continuous habitation and stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of this remarkable location. The home is tied to the Gerrish family, prominent figures in Kittery Point’s maritime commerce during the colonial period. While the current 3,452 square feet of living space, encompassing five bedrooms and three bathrooms, reflects the home’s evolution through multiple generations, the structure now presents a unique opportunity for thoughtful restoration or replacement with a contemporary masterpiece that honors the site’s distinguished heritage.

The property’s historical significance extends beyond the main residence to include remnants of the original Gerrish Warehouse, a ship chandlery that once served the bustling maritime trade along the Piscataqua River. Visitors can still observe the foundations of this commercial enterprise, along with the remains of two old stone piers that facilitated the loading and unloading of cargo vessels. These archaeological features provide tangible connections to Kittery Point’s role as a vital hub in colonial New England’s maritime economy. The gently sloping path to the water’s edge, originally designed for cargo transport, now offers graceful access to the property’s private beach and waterfront amenities.

A current mooring permit ensures immediate access to world-class boating opportunities, while the protected waters of both the river and creek provide ideal conditions for sailing, fishing, and recreational watercraft. The property’s elevated position maximizes the dramatic water views while offering privacy and protection from coastal weather patterns.

The site has been thoughtfully analyzed to optimize potential building footprints for those envisioning a new residence that fully capitalizes on the extraordinary views and waterfront access. The generous acreage provides flexibility for creating expansive outdoor living spaces, formal gardens, or additional structures while maintaining the property’s sense of privacy and exclusivity. The established right-of-way access ensures convenient entry while preserving the secluded character that makes this location so desirable.

The area’s proximity to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Kittery Point’s position as Maine’s southernmost coastal town creates an enviable location that offers both tranquil retreat and convenient access to urban amenities. The combination of historical provenance, unparalleled water views, and development potential creates a rare investment opportunity in a distinguished community. 

The upcoming online auction, concluding Thursday, June 26th at 1:00 p.m. through paulmcinnis.com, presents a unique opportunity for qualified buyers to acquire this exceptional waterfront estate. The auction format ensures transparent market-driven pricing while attracting serious buyers who recognize the property’s extraordinary potential.
