About this home
Exceptional opportunity to acquire BG’s Boathouse, an established waterfront seafood restaurant and associated real estate along Sagamore Creek in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. With over 360' of waterfront frontage, multiple parcels, and an expansive setting, this offering presents possibilities for both commercial and residential ownership. Approaching 50 years of family ownership, this well-known Seacoast destination offers a combination of an operating restaurant, boat slips, and additional real estate. The restaurant accommodates a total of 158 patrons, with indoor dining, bar seating, two outdoor decks overlooking Sagamore Creek, and a takeout service window. The property includes 16 deep-water boat slips, providing direct access to the creek and surrounding waterways. The offering encompasses multiple parcels under common ownership, including the restaurant and waterfront facilities, a single-family residence situated near the parking area, and approximately 1.4 acres of additional gravel parking across Wentworth Road. Of particular interest is the property's WB (Waterfront Business) zoning designation in Portsmouth, a relatively uncommon classification. Beyond its established commercial use, the property's extensive waterfront frontage and setting present the potential for creating a private waterfront estate, subject to applicable approvals. Whether continuing its established commercial operation or exploring its residential possibilities, BG’s Boathouse represents a distinctive real estate opportunity on the New Hampshire Seacoast.
