A Coastal Community Poised to Define the Next Generation of Seacoast Luxury Living

Shackford Point Estates is a thoughtfully planned new construction neighborhood located along Shipwright Way in Newington. Comprised of fifteen distinctive homes set on approximately 2.0-acre private lots, the community offers a rare balance of space, privacy, architectural distinction, and long-term livability—an increasingly scarce combination on the New Hampshire Seacoast.

While select homes enjoy waterfront or water-view settings, others are intentionally positioned to maximize privacy, light, and natural surroundings. Together, the neighborhood delivers a cohesive coastal aesthetic with varied lot experiences—appealing to both young families and empty nesters seeking land, design, and flexibility.

With its scale, coastal access, new construction quality, and proximity to key amenities, Shackford Point Estates is widely regarded as one of the Seacoast’s most desirable luxury neighborhoods—a community thoughtfully designed for today’s lifestyles and long-term value.

As a marine-oriented community, residents enjoy easy access to the water. Great Bay Marina is located approximately 2.5 miles from the neighborhood, offering convenient access to boating, sailing, paddleboarding, and the greater Piscataqua River and Atlantic coastline—without the congestion or maintenance demands of on-site marina living.
