~ PRIVATE SANCTUARY~ Seize the opportunity to live in a Mid-Century Modern home sited on its very own quarry. Extensive use of glass and open design forge a connection with nature. "High Lawn" was owned for over half a century by a former Dean of Harvard College as a private sanctuary from public life. The house is positioned above Rice Quarry; the crown jewel of this private oasis. The quarry is perfect for swimming and lounging and attracts a multitude of birds of prey, song birds and abundant wildlife. The property is located ¼ mile to the Annisquam footbridge, ½ mile to Annisquam Village, ¾ mile to Lighthouse Beach and 2 ¾ miles to route 128. This property offers total seclusion yet quick access to Gloucester's thriving cultural, art and restaurant scene. Gloucester offers stunning natural beauty, with miles of beaches and access to 3,000+ acres of trails, and numerous cultural venues and festivals. Come enjoy an active lifestyle in this colorful seaside community.
