7.1 Waterfront Acres on Block Island: A Rare Coastal Canvas

Lucía Torres · 2026-07-22

Imagine owning a slice of one of New England's most cherished islands. A rare opportunity has just hit the market: 7.1 waterfront acres on Block Island's coveted south side. This isn't just land; it's a canvas for your coastal dreams, priced at $6,000,000 and located off Snake Hole Road. ### The Land and Its Views This property offers dramatic, sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. You'll watch the sun dip below Montauk, Long Island, and see the moon rise over the water. It's the kind of scenery that changes with every hour. The land itself is a mix of rolling hills and open space, giving you choices for where to build. ### Building Your Retreat You have options here. Pick a high point for expansive ocean vistas, or nestle into a gentle valley for total privacy. A conservation easement protects the land's natural integrity but still allows for a 3-acre designated building site. That means you can create a private coastal retreat or an architecturally significant compound. The preserved portion also permits additional uses, adding flexibility. ### Access to Nature and Recreation One of the biggest draws? The property borders the 230-acre Rodman's Hollow nature preserve. You get direct access to its network of scenic hiking trails, wildlife, and unspoiled beauty. For outdoor enthusiasts, the bluff beach is a dream. Surf casting, surfing, and exploring the dramatic shoreline are right at your doorstep. ### Why This Property Stands Out - **Location:** Block Island's south side is sought-after for its privacy and views. - **Size:** 7.1 acres with a 3-acre building envelope. - **Conservation:** Protected land means your views won't change. - **Recreation:** Direct access to Rodman's Hollow and the beach. > "This is a unique canvas to create something truly special." ### Final Thoughts Whether you're looking for a weekend escape or a full-time residence, this property offers something rare. It combines raw natural beauty with thoughtful conservation.
