The Cape & Islands 25 Most Expensive Listings, Sept. '14
View as Map
$108,000,000
The Cape & Islands' most expensive listing debuted on the market in July 2012 for a mind-blowing $118 million. The place does have 314 acres (!!!) and can be purchased in any number of (buildable) combinations. Case in point, there's an option to grab 50 acres with a 5,600 sq. ft. house, pool and tennis court for "just" $44 million. Alas, the pricechopper visited in March 2014 and brought the ask for whole thing down to $108,000,000. Oddly, the $10 million slice didn't do the trick and the rather epic spread is still available.
$35,000,000
Nantucket's priciest listing hit the market in May 2012 for a mindblowing $59M. By September, the pricechopper had arrived to hack $10M off the ask. After a winter sabbatical, Swain's Neck returned to market in March 2013 with a new broker and a new (slightly) reduced asking price. As of May 2014, the pricey pad is available for a newly configured $35M.
$27,500,000
"Amenities abound in this waterfront estate of unparalleled quality." Indeed, 34 & 36 Shawkemo Road is a 15.5 acre spread with a main house, 4-car garage with studio, boat house, pool and cabana, boardwalk to the beach, guest house, and over 100-feet of harbor front. Oh, there are also "permitted plans for a three car garage, guest house and a swimming pool." Yup, a guest house for the guest house. Asking price is $27.5 million.
$25,000,000
The"Chatham Jewel" hit the market as a price upon request listing, but is now officially the Cape's most expensive listing. "Positioned on the elevated Chatham shoreline, this shingle-clad home presides over the Atlantic Ocean, Monomoy Islands, and Nantucket Sound, and stands as a testament to tranquility." In addition to presiding, the 10,974-square-footer has 6BR, 6BA, and much, much more.
$24,900,000
Owned by Susan Hilfiger, ex-wife of fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger, this Lincoln Circle area property hit the market in July 2013 for $26,995,000 and is now hoping for "just" $24,900,000.
$22,950,000
According to the brokerbabble for this Squam Road compound, "...kick off your flip flops and take a short stroll down the sandy pathway to relax on the beach!" Well, for $22,950,000, that is.
$21,999,000
Set on oceanfront 2.2 acres, this Squam Road compound hit the market for $19,900,000 in September 2013. The seven bedroom, eight and a half bath property with a pool, gardens and a private boardwalk to Squam Beach was then priceupped in May of this year to $21,999,000. So there's that.
$19,500,000
The brokerbabble assures that this 10,000-square-footer on 2.7 waterfront acres is "Arguably one of Edgartown’s finest Estates..." Regardless, the $19.5M price tag makes this the priciest listing in Edgartown.
$19,500,000
This "new imagining of the classic beach house" debuted on the market in late May asking a hefty $22 million. The classic, as in "3.74+/- acres, 300 +/-feet of sandy beach, 6 bedroom main house, 5 bedroom guest house, pool and pool house, sweeping lawns, and beach cabana at the water's edge.." quickly reconsidered that ask and is now hoping for $19,500,000.
