ACTIVE Status 24155753 MLS
Niantic Shoreline Living- Starting at $795,000.00 In a market where completed homes often command attention, there remains something more powerful - possibility. Tucked within the quiet landscape of East Lyme's shoreline community, 80 Roxbury Road presents a rare opportunity: a substantial, buildable parcel offered at $795,000, where vision and architecture can take precedence over compromise. In an era of low inventory and high competition for custom homes along Connecticut's golden coast, land of this scale and flexibility has become increasingly scarce. The acreage offers room to think expansively. Whether imagined as a modern coastal retreat framed in glass and cedar, a timeless New England estate with sweeping lawns, or a transitional farmhouse with understated elegance, the site provides the foundation for a residence designed around lifestyle rather than limitation. Large parcels in East Lyme are valued not simply for size, but for what they allow: privacy, setback from neighboring homes, space for a pool or guesthouse, curated landscaping, and long, private drive approaches that create a sense of arrival. For buyers seeking to build something enduring - rather than retrofit someone else's decisions - the value is inherent. Niantic itself has quietly become one of the shoreline's most desirable addresses. With proximity to Niantic Village, beaches, marinas, and Interstate 95 access, the location offers coastal living without sacrificing convenience. 4 Bedrooms plus.
