Greet each day with inspiring views of the Annisquam River from this charming vacation home and enjoy the most spectacular sunsets each evening. Terra Nova offers that "get away from it all" feeling, with a large verdant lawn, breathtaking water views, and comfortable furnishings. Inside, find an open-concept living and dining area with enormous picture windows letting in the light, along with two main-floor bedrooms, a full bath and kitchen. Downstairs, a large open-plan suite makes up the garden level.
The deck overlooks a spacious yard that slopes down to the river, where you can look for shells at low tide and swim at higher tides. There are also a gas grill, outdoor seating, and outdoor dining sets on the deck and on the patio.
For those who prefer the outdoors, relax on the wraparound deck, take a swim, or launch a kayak into the river at high tide. On clear nights, watch for satellites and comets from the deck or lower lawn. You can also easily explore many of the local shops and restaurants that the area has to offer. The historic village of Annisquam is about a mile away, while Downtown Gloucester is four miles in one direction, and Rockport and Bearskin Neck and the Shalin Liu Performance Center are just five miles in the other direction.
1,456 SF. No pets. No smoking. No events or parties.

Great place to stay!
by PaulFantastic home right on the bay with its own dock. Excellent view from both upstairs and down. Plenty of room for three couples.
Sunset Magic
by WendieSpotless, comfortable, well equipped. Cool trees for afternoon shade. And Truly the Sunsets were the best gift of all. 2 Parents, 2 Grandparents, and 2 small children...indeed, we had a magical time.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so glad that you got to have those special sunset moments!
