Property Description

Welcome to The Parsons Homestead, an enduring landmark nestled in the heart of Rye's historic district. Originally constructed circa 1757 and thoughtfully rebuilt around 1800 using many original materials, this rare and authentic example of early Federal architecture has quietly stood the test of time, offering a tangible connection to New England's earliest roots. Wide pine floors, handblown glass, and handcrafted wainscoting reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era, preserved with intention and grace. For over two centuries, the Parsons family, physicians, patriots, and public servants called this homestead their own, leaving a legacy that is deeply woven into the fabric of the community. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property is recognized as one of southeastern New Hampshire's most historically significant rural dwellings. Set beside Parsons Field and the 222-acre Rye Town Forest, the home is embraced by pastoral beauty and a lifestyle enriched by nature. Stone walls trace the original field edges, while the surrounding conservation land invites daily walks, cycling, and quiet moments of reflection. A short stroll to the library, local schools, and cherished town gatherings and minutes to the sandy shoreline where morning walks, paddle boarding, or quiet afternoons in the sun await. More than a home, The Parsons Homestead is a living chronicle of New England's past lovingly preserved, deeply storied, and ready to welcome its next chapter.
