Unrivaled Narragansett Bay Estate Showcases Coastal Grandeur, Listed for $12 Million
Perched gracefully on the shores of Narragansett Bay, 85 Nayatt Rd in Barrington stands as one of the most extraordinary examples of Rhode Island Real Estate today. Listed at $12 million, this seven-bedroom, twelve-bathroom residence stretches across 13,589 square feet of refined waterfront luxury. Built in 2005 and meticulously reimagined over a three-year renovation, the home blends timeless coastal charm with modern innovation, redefining what it means to live beside the bay.
“This property represents the pinnacle of waterfront living in Rhode Island,” says Kirk Schryver of the Kirk Schryver Team at Compass, who exclusively represents the listing. “Every detail — from the Danby marble island to the radiant-heated floors — was designed to evoke serenity and sophistication.”
A Grand Vision of Design and Detail
The residence’s architectural story is one of transformation. Originally built two decades ago, 85 Nayatt Rd was completely redesigned to capture the coastal light and sweeping views of Narragansett Bay. The chef’s kitchen centers around a stunning 6 × 15 Danby marble island, while the open-concept layout seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living spaces. Expansive white-oak floors, vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows accentuate the connection between home and horizon.
The primary suite serves as a private retreat, offering panoramic water views and spa-like amenities. Every corner of the residence exudes quiet grandeur — from the marble fireplaces to the bespoke lighting controlled by the Lutron smart home system. “The owners approached this renovation as a labor of love,” Schryver told Luxury Houses Magazine. “They wanted to preserve the soul of the property while giving it the comfort and technology of a modern estate.”
Resort-Style Living on the Bay
Set on nearly four acres, this Barrington Real Estate jewel offers resort-level amenities rarely seen in private homes. Outside, a 20 × 50-foot infinity pool appears to spill into the bay, framed by manicured gardens and a grand cabana with a stone fireplace. A lighted tennis and pickleball court completes the scene, creating a private club experience just steps from the water’s edge.
Beyond its amenities, the property is also practical and sustainable, equipped with radiant heating, central air, and an advanced security system. “What makes this estate so unique is how effortlessly it balances beauty and functionality,” notes Schryver. “It’s as comfortable for daily living as it is spectacular for entertaining.”
A Storied Market Journey
85 Nayatt Rd has long been recognized as one of Barrington’s most desirable addresses. Public records show that the property last sold in 2021 for $4.58 million before undergoing its remarkable transformation. The new $12 million listing reflects not only the home’s significant upgrades but also the rising prestige of Rhode Island Real Estate, particularly in coastal enclaves such as Nayatt Point.
In conversation with Luxury Houses, Schryver emphasized the property’s enduring appeal: “Waterfront estates of this caliber are increasingly rare in Rhode Island. There’s an emotional quality to this home — once you step inside and see the bay unfold before you, you understand its value immediately.”
The Lifestyle of Nayatt Point
Located just minutes from Providence and a short drive to Newport, Barrington combines the intimacy of small-town living with the sophistication of a coastal retreat. Residents enjoy access to the Rhode Island Country Club, boutique shopping, gourmet dining, and miles of scenic shoreline. The Nayatt Point neighborhood, with its tree-lined streets and private waterfronts, remains one of the most coveted areas in New England.
The estate’s proximity to top-rated public and private schools adds to its appeal, making it ideal for families seeking both exclusivity and convenience. “Barrington has always been known for its sense of community and natural beauty,” Schryver told Luxury Houses Magazine. “85 Nayatt Road embodies those qualities perfectly — it’s both a personal sanctuary and a symbol of refined coastal living.”
