Site

After spending some time with Google Earth, I found three possible sites. One is at a lake, one at a river and one at the ocean. After driving around and looking at the various sites, I have chosen the one located at the river. The seventeen acre site is located on the Ipswich River just south of Ipswich. Home to the historic Marguery Restaurant, this site used to be the place to go to for dining, parties and weddings. The beautiful natural site was filled with tree line paths, small streams and of course, the river. After a series of fires in the 70's, the entire restaurant was destroyed. The site has sat empty ever since. The remains of the paths and ponds and streams remain hidden in nature. Thinking green, I wanted to find a site that had already been developed so as to not disturb a greensite. The site is less than an hour drive from Boston. The overall topography is flat, a few small hills punctuate the edges of the site. The views of the River provide the desired connection to water.
