Description

Rare opportunity to create a secluded estate on two islands comprising approximately 11.57 acres within the heart of New England’s “Gold Coast”.

At 7.75 (+/-) acres and rising 44 (+/-) ft above sea level, ‘Great Rock Island’ is considered "land-tied" -a rare geological feature in that it has become connected on its far eastern edge to the mainland by a barrier beach road, while the rest of the formation is completely surrounded by serene salt marshes that are fed by two high tides daily. Adjacent and to the immediate west of Great Rock, lies ‘Little Rock Island’. At 3.82(+/-) acres and rising 32(+/-) ft above sea level, Little Rock is completely surrounded by salt marsh and offers incomparable sunset views over Cohasset Harbor and skyline.

With more than thirty changes in course, the islands steep terrain ranges from the tidal pools along the water’s edge to dramatic outcroppings of scenic ledges – most characteristic of the choicest south shore coastline.

While no structures currently exist on either island, “regulatory approvals” are in place for an 8-bedroom family dwelling on Great Rock with allowable accessory uses. Great Rock Island also has successful “Perc Tests” for an additional 15 bedrooms; engineers certified letter on hand (This could be for accessory uses; IE guesthouse, caretaker cottage, etc.) Vehicle access up to Great Rock is at its east elevation by a deeded, land court right-of-way from Glades Road. And neither Island is subject to any FEMA special flood hazard zones.

With total privacy, pristine natural beauty and unmatched vistas from high elevations, these dramatic harborside islands a nature lover’s paradise. While the islands are nestled and protected inland off Glades Road and its corresponding seawall in ‘Scituate Neck’, they do offer towering 360’ views over the Atlantic Ocean, Cohasset Harbor, Historic Strawberry Point and much more. Remarkably untouched, the islands offer a connection to a pristine natural environment like none other.

Great Rock and Little Rock Islands are indeed unique and together, they would offer the ultimate seaside living experience for generations to experience.
