ucked away on the Southeastern point of Rhode Island’s Aquidneck Island, lies ‘Land’s End’, a storied family home sited on 5.6 oceanfront acres. Once owned by Pulitzer Prize winning author Edith Wharton, the property is comprised of an 8+ bedroom main house and 3 bedroom carriage house overlooking Newport’s famed Cliff Walk and Atlantic Ocean, providing 1,200 feet of ocean frontage. As Wharton famously touted in her writings, ‘Land’s End’ offers dynamic ocean views from virtually every room, rivaling the most coveted vistas on the East Coast. An incredible yearround gathering place for family and friends, the property has been introduced to the market for sale, offered at $11,700,000.

Designed by architect John Sturgis during Newport’s Gilded Age, and later adorned with Ogden Codman motifs, the sun-drenched home is a classic example of understated elegance, retrofitted with modern upgrades including a chef’s kitchen, full house generator, billiards room and saltwater pool. Unlike many classic Newport estates, reminiscent of the days of yesteryear, ‘Land’s End’ welcomes a contemporary approach to living. The rooms, though generously scaled, evoke a sense of intimacy and informality. From the moment you step inside, it is evident that the home is intended to be lived in, loved, and enjoyed as a family retreat.
