Privacy and seclusion is within your reach less than an hour from Boston. Killybracken is a singular private compound sited on one of the easternmost points of land in the US, yet fully accessible by land, air and sea.

Gloucester Harbor accommodates yachts of any size and an FBO Beverly Airport accommodates private aircraft less than 30 minutes away.

The Eastern Point peninsula is not only prestigious, but historically significant and architecturally rich. Killybracken is considered one of the most splendid stone residences gracing the seacoast. The primary estate was originally built in 1927 in the Arts and Crafts style of granite quarried in Gloucester. The estate sits on 2.4 oceanfront acres with woodlands behind and open shoreline in front.

The compound consists of five structures with more than 10,400 square feet of indoor space. The main residence is 6,500 square feet with 14 rooms, 6 luxurious baths and 4 fireplaces evoking the grace and elegance of great European homes blended with warmth and relaxation for everyday living and contemporary entertaining.

Every room enjoys spectacular unobstructed ocean and woodland views. Exceptional Old World refinements of granite- hearth fireplaces, deep window seats and cozy alcoves, burnished oak and pine woodwork, stone, tile and hardwood flooring, and leaded glass, copper and polished brass accents set off any décor.

Two significant structures on the property include a romantic 2- story guest/caretaker cottage and the Entertainment and Pool House. Both are crafted of granite from the same quarry as the main house and natural shingle. Each features guest accommodations; the cottage boasting some of the most breathtaking views on the property and a full guest apartment in the pool house with a unique private balcony overlooking the pool and ocean.

The integrated indoor/outdoor pool is crafted to appear natural and surrounded by manicured perennial gardens and a waterfall. Entertaining spaces include a wet bar with a lounge, an 8-person whirlpool & steam room. This commodious space can be completely enclosed by electric glass sliding doors. At the push of a button, all doors open onto windward and leeward courtyards featuring a built-in grill and an indoor/outdoor fireplace.

“Regardless of how you travel, when the doors open and that crisp, coastal New England air fills your lungs everyone has that same experience; ‘I’m here!’ says Keith Shirley, the listing team lead for Post Shirley Team at Engel & Völkers Boston. “Whether you’re escaping to seclusion or boating and entertaining friends, there’s no place you’d rather be doing it. It’s Killybracken – it’s home and away.”
