Standish Boat Yard, a staple of Tiverton’s water

Standish Boat Yard, a staple of Tiverton’s waterfront for more than half a century, is officially remaining in the family.

Jennifer and Andrew Cavanagh are taking over operations from Jennifer’s uncle, Ken Hilton, continuing a legacy that began in 1969 when the Hiltons and Brimicombes first purchased the property.

Located along the Sakonnet River, Standish has served as a trusted haven for boaters and a gathering spot for locals for more than 50 years. Known for its personalized service and tight-knit community feel, the yard has become a cherished part of Tiverton’s coastal culture.

Jennifer, a local Realtor, and Andrew, a marine contractor, bring deep local roots and industry experience to the role. Their transition signals both continuity and revitalization, with plans to maintain the yard’s welcoming spirit while introducing new ideas to keep Standish thriving for years to come.

As summer arrives, customers can expect the same reliable service and friendly faces—now with a new generation at the helm.

If Versailles and a summer fair had a very tastefu

If Versailles and a summer fair had a very tasteful baby, this would be it.

The 29th Annual Newport Flower Show is back at Rosecliff June 20-22, and this year’s theme — “A Floral Fair” — is serving us Gilded Age glamour with a wink. Think: fairy tale dinner party meets summer fête, where roses are practically gossiping and the peonies have opinions.

Inside, you’ll be swept into Theresa Fair Oelrichs’ 1913 fantasy soirée, where floral designers and botanical artists are going all out with dreamy, dramatic, and occasionally cheeky nods to the past. Downstairs, the vibe shifts to whimsical charm — summer fair nostalgia wrapped in blooms and ribbons.

Outside on the ocean lawn? Garden displays and horticultural glow-ups that’ll make your houseplants feel inadequate (but in a motivational way).

And of course, what’s a fabulous flower show without a little shopping? Swing through the Marketplace for garden treasures, curated finds, and maybe a new sunhat you definitely needed.

✨June 20-22 at Rosecliff 🎟️ Tickets available at newportmansions.org 💐 Come for the flowers, stay for the fantasy — it’s c’est magnifique.

Tucked within one of Aquidneck Island’s most cov

Tucked within one of Aquidneck Island’s most coveted rural enclaves, this historic Portsmouth, RI estate—built in 1860 and lovingly held by generations of farming families—offers an extraordinary 32 acres of pristine farmland, gently rolling meadows, and cinematic pastoral views. It’s the kind of place that stops you in your tracks—a rare legacy property that speaks to both history and possibility.

At the heart of the land sits a nearly 3,000-square-foot farmhouse, a timeless beauty with commanding views of open fields and a pond that attracts wildlife like migratory birds, frogs, peepers, and turtles. Though rich in antique character, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded for modern living, with a new roof, updated electrical system, new septic, and more—creating a seamless blend of old-world charm and present-day comfort. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or the foundation for a future family compound, the setting is private, elegant, and soul-soothing.

Adding to the estate’s appeal are two massive barns and a four-car garage—each brimming with potential. Thinking guesthouse, artist studio, or a remote office? These structures offer endless possibilities to expand and personalize the property on a grand scale.

Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. Set directly across from the polo practice fields and just minutes from Newport Polo, top beaches, and Newport National Golf Course, this is a rare lifestyle crossover: country living with resort-town convenience. Less than five miles away, Newport offers world-class dining, vibrant arts and culture, marinas, and a truly iconic coastal atmosphere.

This is more than just a home—it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a historic farm and a vast, inspiring piece of Rhode Island’s landscape. For those with vision, passion, and a love of space and heritage, this property delivers on every level.

362 Bramans Lane, Portsmouth, RI 4 Bed | 2 Bath | 2,860 sq ft | Set on 32 Acres Listed by @laurmailloux and @jimdringreal of @ourrealestate for $2,980,000
