Pickerings Neck is more than a property, it is a piece of Portsmouth’s maritime history and an opportunity to create a family compound unlike anything else in the city. Located on historic Pickering’s Neck, whose story reaches back to John Pickering’s arrival in 1633, this waterfront site later became part of Portsmouth’s important shipbuilding tradition. Today, the property offers an extraordinary collection of buildings and waterfront amenities, including a principal residence with an apartment, small warehouse, waterfront decks, docks, mooring and a separate building currently home to the South End Yacht Club.The real opportunity may lie in what comes next. Situated in the Commercial zoning district and within Portsmouth’s Historic District, the property presents a compelling canvas for creating an exceptional private family compound. Envision expanding and reimagining the existing residence or exploring the potential for a larger estate home, while repurposing the distinctive yacht club building into a remarkable waterfront guest residence or complementary living space. Few properties combine this degree of waterfront access, multiple existing structures, boating amenities, history and proximity to downtown Portsmouth. Step from your home to your dock, explore the Piscataqua and Portsmouth Harbor, or walk into the heart of the city. 15 Pickering offers something that simply cannot be recreated: the opportunity to write the next chapter of an extraordinary Portsmouth waterfront property.
