About this home

Welcome to a rare waterfront home on the banks of the Connecticut River in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Set on two private acres as the last house on a quiet dead-end street, this remodeled residence blends classic New England character with modern updates. Most striking of all is the setting: an open, grassy lawn running right down to the water’s edge — a true rarity on the Connecticut River.The headline feature is the water access. A grandfathered private dock accommodates up to two boats, so you can launch straight from your backyard for a day of boating, watersports, or fishing on the Connecticut River. Paired with the open lawn, it makes for a backyard built for summer.Inside, the updated kitchen features new stainless steel appliances and clean, contemporary finishes. The adjacent dining area and living room both look out over the river, filling the main level with light and framing the water from nearly every angle.The layout offers four bedrooms with flexible use. A new 950-square-foot addition adds a two-car garage below and upper-level living quarters above, anchored by a primary suite with a custom walk-in closet, plus a second bedroom and a dedicated laundry room. On the main level, two more bedrooms work equally well as guest rooms, a home office, or a fitness space.Mechanical systems have been upgraded throughout, including a new tankless water heater, central air conditioning, and forced hot air heating. The home is fully move-in ready. Please note that 30 Cove Island Rd. is being offered as a land lease property with Holyoke Gas & Electric (HG&E), meaning this transaction will most likely require a cash offer. HG&E is willing to execute a new lease/permit with a buyer, subject to application approval and agreement to HG&E terms & conditions (draft permit & application available for review).
