Exclusive Michelle Sylvia Luxury Rental
The River House | Westport, Massachusetts
Award-Winning Waterfront Estate | Secluded 2-Acre Property | Year-Round Luxury
Welcome to The River House — a one-of-a-kind, internationally acclaimed waterfront retreat offered exclusively by Michelle Sylvia. Built in 2020 and recognized with international, national, and regional architectural awards, this extraordinary home is set on a private two-acre riverfront peninsula with sweeping views of untouched wetlands and open water.
Recently featured as a cover story in South Coast Almanac, this 3,200-square-foot modern masterpiece offers unmatched privacy, design excellence, and resort-level amenities — just over an hour from Boston.

The Setting
Perfectly positioned at the edge of the river, the property enjoys expansive, protected views and total seclusion via private road access. A 50-foot sandy beach and sweeping riverfront lawns create a setting that feels worlds away — yet remains close to Newport, Providence, and Cape destinations.

An on-site concierge/groundskeeper resides in a privately screened gate cottage to ensure seamless service while maintaining complete guest privacy.
