Life On The River.

yours to Enjoy.

57 Old Forge Road · Potowomut, Rhode Island · Est. 1723

A Private World on the River

Nearly 11 acres where the mornings begin at the river and the evenings end on the porch. The Greene River runs along the property line and out to Narragansett Bay. A private tennis court, towering champion trees, and open lawn give the grounds room to breathe, and a fully restored 1825 cottage offers space for guests or income.

Inside, the c.1723 main residence pairs original millwork and seven fireplaces with every comfort brought fully up to date, including a renovated kitchen and more than $1,000,000 in improvements since 2020.

And the house has a story few places can match. Benjamin Franklin's sister found refuge here, Lafayette gave it its name, and generals and governors have gathered at its table.

The Residence at a Glance

10.9 acres on the Potowomut peninsula, with the Greene River flowing along the property line and direct water access. A private tennis court.

A 5,095 square foot main residence with six bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths. Located in the Forge Road Historic District, on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Cottage

Built 1825 · 2 Bed · 2 Bath

The cottage has been part of this property for two hundred years.

Guests who have stayed here write about waking to turkeys on the lawn and deer moving through the trees at sunrise. One described the surrounding land as the most majestic collection of trees in southern New England. Another wrote that there is almost a reverence about this place because of its history.

The cottage is guest-ready, income-producing, and entirely self-contained. For the next owner it can be whatever the next chapter calls for.

The River

Greene River runs along the edge of this property and out to Narragansett Bay. Blue heron, osprey, and bald eagles fish its banks. Take a boat out and follow the water all the way to the bay. This is not a view of nature. It is life inside it.

entertaining

The table is long, the porch is wider, and the grounds go as far as you need them to. There is a reason people have been gathering here for three hundred years.

Tennis Court

Saturday morning. The air still cool. The court is yours, the property is quiet, and there is nowhere you need to be. A few sets before breakfast and for the first time in a long time there is absolutely nothing else you would rather be doing.

The Grounds

Nearly 11 acres of open lawn, towering trees, and river's edge. Flowers through the grounds, wildlife moving through without announcement, and a stillness that is increasingly hard to find. Room to breathe. Room to wander. Room to simply be.
