Description

Introducing the renowned Tide Mill of Rye, NY; one of the most protected waterfront properties on the Long Island Sound. Nestled in a breathtaking cove surrounded by specimen grasses, this historic gem has been proudly owned by a lifetime Rye resident for over a half a century. The iconic red barn is one of the most photographed backdrops in Westchester County, a testament to its rich history. Dating to 1770, this property originally served as a grain mill for British forces during the Revolutionary War. The property's historically rich timeline begins with the barn and continues with the additions of a farmhouse circa 1830 and a fully operational marina circa 1910, featuring 50 boat slips. Historically local prominent Rye residents, including the Kirby and Sackett families, have been the stewards of the magnificent beauty at Tide Mill. Today, the property still offers panoramic waterfront vistas surrounded by natural wonders including diverse birdlife, native coastal flora and protected coastline. The 3.75 acre property is currently maintained as both a residential home and as the Tide Mill Yacht Basin. The marina has deep water access and is a 5 minute boat ride to the open Sound. The barn is cherished by Rye residents. Whether you envision building your dream home or managing an iconic marina steeped in history, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of coastal heritage.
