An Unparalleled Combination of Privacy, Views, and Island History. One of Block Island's most unique and beautiful properties, offering rare privacy, sweeping ocean views to Montauk, and the Island's most extraordinary collection of mature trees. With 3.5 acres of historic Payne family farmland, this elevated site features original stone walls, Lily Pond frontage, and potential for over 12, 000 sq ft of living space. Recently completed, the reconstructed 3 bedroom main house blends modern farmhouse style with low-maintenance design. The open kitchen, dining, and living area frames ocean views through large windows and flows seamlessly outdoors to generous decks, a portico-shaded patio, and a striking outdoor shower built on native stone. Heating and AC provide true four-season comfort. A brand-new guest, with its own outdoor shower, decks, and entertaining spaces. Accessed from both Payne Road and Mohegan Trail, the property feels private yet remains close to beaches. Its expansive acres, shaded by mature trees and enhanced by natural breezes, create a setting that is both peaceful and restorative. Combined with wide-open skies, it offers glowing sunsets, endless stargazing, and an unmatched opportunity to experience the very best of Island life.Show Description MLS® Number1394323

The property was originally constructed in 1812 and has been through several significant renovations over its lifetime. The most recent was a full renovation in 2025, which updated all major systems, structural components, and interior finishes. Previous updates had already modernized portions of the home, but the 2025 renovation was comprehensive, bringing the property up to current building standards while retaining historic character. An additional cottage has been built on the property, offering separate living space for guests or extended family. There are also approved plans in place for further development, providing flexibility for expansion or additional structures if desired. Septic system was compliant when installed; under current DEM standards, any future expansion or renovation may require an upgrade.
