Property Description

A rare offering in Rye, this property presents a residentially zoned lot with a grandfathered use as a seasonal restaurant. Known as the Ice House, the business has been family-operated for over 46 years and has become a local landmark for both residents and visitors, serving ice cream, seafood, and other classic favorites. The restaurant features seating for approximately 48 guests inside, along with an outdoor dining area behind the building that provides a casual coastal atmosphere. Above the main restaurant is a finished space offering additional flexibility, while a large two-story storage building sits separately behind the restaurant, providing ample utility. The sale includes turnkey equipment, allowing a new owner to seamlessly continue operations or create their own vision. Ideally situated on a high-visibility state road with strong tourist traffic, the property benefits from excellent exposure and accessibility. Open seasonally, the business offers both lifestyle flexibility and the opportunity to carry on a well-established tradition in one of New Hampshire’s most desirable coastal communities.
