0 Old Mill Road Block Island, RI 02807

Set amidst the natural beauty that defines Block Island, this extraordinary 7.4 acre parcel offers a rare chance to create a private island retreat while becoming a steward of the land itself. Protected by a conservation easement designed to preserve the land’s ecosystem and safeguard surrounding open space from future development, this property strikes a thoughtful balance between conservation and residential use.
Within the protected landscape, approximately 2.2 acres have been designated for development, allowing for the construction of a single-family home with up to 2,000 square feet of living space and a maximum height of 28 feet. There is also a provision for a 600 square-foot garage. The result is an opportunity to design a home that is complementary to, rather than competitive with, the island’s natural environment.
With a direct connection to Block Island’s renowned Greenway Trail system, the property invites a lifestyle immersed in nature—where morning walks, birdwatching, and quiet exploration become part of daily life.
Whether envisioned as a thoughtfully designed seasonal retreat or a legacy property for generations to enjoy, this land offers more than a homesite—it offers the chance to live within a permanently protected landscape while contributing to the preservation of one of New England’s most extraordinary island ecosystems.
A true blank canvas in a spectacular setting, for those who value privacy, conservation, and the enduring beauty of open space.
