Coastal Elegance & Serenity

A coastal haven that combines a 

relaxed lifestyle, close-knit community, & easy city access.

Tucked along the rugged coastline just 20 minutes from downtown Boston and Logan International Airport, Nahant is one of New England’s most captivating and undiscovered seaside enclaves. A one-road-in, one-road-out peninsula, this historic coastal village offers unmatched privacy, panoramic Atlantic views, and a rich legacy as one of Boston’s original summer colonies.

In the late 19th century, Nahant was home to a vibrant society of poets, artists, scientists, and industrialists who built grand summer estates along its bluffs. Today, that legacy endures—quietly preserved in winding lanes, dramatic oceanfront cliffs, and a sense of place that feels worlds away from the city, yet remarkably accessible.

With sandy beaches, scenic walks, and sweeping views from nearly every turn, Nahant offers a lifestyle defined by natural beauty, historic charm, and total seclusion—all within easy reach of Boston’s world-class culture, universities, hospitals, and international travel connections.

It’s a place where you can enjoy the rhythm of coastal life—just far enough to feel like a retreat, yet close enough to stay connected to everything Boston has to offer.

“Since moving down the street on Wilson Rd just under two years ago, I immediately fell in love with 9 Little Nahant rd. There is just something about this house that draws you in and makes you stop and spend a moment in its presence..”

For many years this splendid example of Victorian stood practically alone in its extensive grounds, dominating the easterly side of the sparsely populated Little Nahant.

“Great news that the handsome and historic mansion is to be restored.”
