Watch Hill Oceanfront Compound

Set along a quiet stretch of beach within walking distance of the village stands The Timbers. Built in 1917 and styled after a grand English Tudor home, the impressive 10,500 square foot home and two separate 3 bedroom guest cottages were designed by the renowned architect John Russell Pope—whose other commissions included the Jefferson Memorial and the National Gallery of Art.

The beautiful and meticulously restored home is cheerful and bright with spacious rooms highlighted with wonderful architectural detailing, hardwood floors, twelve fireplaces and a massive grand stairway and bell tower. This enchanting seaside estate can serve as the perfect venue for grand scale living and entertaining, or can simply be enjoyed as a secluded beachfront hideaway offering incredible beauty and serenity. Set on a knoll overlooking the ocean and surrounded by 9 acres of lawns and gardens, this magnificent seaside estate offers unsurpassed panoramic ocean views. The beautifully landscaped grounds include abundant specimen plantings, an apple orchard, a large flagstone terrace, an inground pool and two fully equipped and restored three bedroom guest cottages. From its high vantage point, the main residence surveys glorious vistas overlooking an uncrowded 2-mile long, wide and
sandy beach.
