New Listing in South Kingstown: Beachfront New Construction at 146 Green Hill Ocean Drive

A newly constructed custom beachfront home just hit the South Kingstown MLS, and after three days, it's still available, which means the window to move thoughtfully is open, but it won't stay that way for long.

What Caught Our Eye

New construction on the Rhode Island coast is genuinely rare, and this one delivers it right on Green Hill Beach. The home was designed from the ground up to handle the demands of oceanfront living Andersen Stormwatch hurricane windows, spray-foam insulation, a whole-house generator, and protected outdoor water and electrical connections aren't afterthoughts here; they're built into the bones. The interior finishes match the setting: custom cabinetry, Taj Mahal quartz countertops, and hardwood floors throughout. Panoramic views stretch across the Atlantic Ocean, Green Hill Pond, and on a clear day, all the way to Block Island. The primary suite on the second level opens onto a private beachfront balcony, arguably the best alarm clock in Washington County.

What We'd Ask Before Touring

Buying new construction on a beachfront lot is exciting and it comes with a specific set of due-diligence questions. Here's what we'd bring to the table before making an offer:

• What does the Certificate of Occupancy timeline look like? The year built is listed as 2026, so it's worth confirming exactly where the home stands in the permitting and final inspection process.

• What flood zone designation applies, and what will flood insurance cost annually? Beachfront properties in South Kingstown commonly fall in FEMA high-risk zones. Flood insurance premiums can vary dramatically and should factor into your carrying-cost math.

• Is there a builder's warranty, and what does it cover? New construction typically comes with structural and systems warranties, but the scope and transferability terms matter especially for a coastal build exposed to salt air and storm conditions.

• Are there any coastal-zone restrictions on future improvements? Rhode Island's Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) governs what can be built or modified near the shoreline. Understanding those boundaries now protects you later.
