About this home

The Grange at Potowomut, a nationally registered historic property, is one of Rhode Island’s most remarkable and storied private residences—where colonial heritage and thoughtful modern upgrades come together. Rich in provenance and beautifully preserved, the c.1723 main house offers over 5,000 square feet across two levels, showcasing original millwork, timeless architectural details, and the character only centuries of history can create. Set on nearly 11 private acres with direct frontage on the Potowomut River, the grounds are truly picturesque, featuring meandering lawns, artfully designed patios, and an inviting open sitting porch overlooking the estate. Towering specimen trees—some over 200 years old and documented among the tallest in Rhode Island—create a setting that feels both timeless and serene. The property also includes a private tennis court and two substantial outbuildings, including a 10-car hobbyist garage with workshop and generous storage. Also included is a beautifully restored c.1825 guest cottage offering 1,200+ square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Known as The Cottage at the Grange, it has earned 107+ consecutive five-star reviews and offers turnkey short-term rental income or gracious guest accommodations. Room count does not include 6 room cottage. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly iconic Rhode Island property. Private showings by appt. only.
