March was an active month for luxury home sales in Blue Hill: three multimillion-dollar properties sold within a month of each other for a combined total of more than $13 million.
All three were shoreline homes in the same area, one at longtime seasonal area Parker Point and two off East Blue Hill Road. Public listings for the properties note their proximity to the town’s yacht club and country club.
The sales are a sign that there continues to be high demand — and prices — for waterfront real estate in coastal Maine.
The second most expensive of the three houses was 492 Parker Point Road, a 4,000-square-foot “oceanfront estate” which sold for $4.062 million on March 17 after just two weeks on the market, according to a listing.
Built in 1922, the 8.2-acre property called “Ledgewood Clippings” features a Tudor-style design and 12 rooms with “a rare combination of historic character, modern updates, and breathtaking natural beauty,” according to the listing. It includes almost a thousand feet of private shoreline, a cove, a dock and three deep-water moorings.
The grounds are professionally designed and also feature a granite carved pond, terraces and a stone fire pit.
Another estate at 541 East Blue Hill Road that sold earlier in March for $3.255 million has an even larger interior at 4,368 square feet. The Cape Cod-style house on 34 acres was designed in 1984; the property includes a main house and guest apartment, with six bedrooms and four full baths overall.
“Offering truly exceptional views, this property combines beauty, seclusion with convenience,” the listing said.
The main house includes “finely appointed living spaces” such as a formal living room, a dining room connected to a library and a spiral staircase leading to a children’s bedroom. The kitchen, which the listing calls a “chef’s dream,” has amenities including a luxury brand gas stove and a custom island.
The purchaser was a Florida-based LLC, according to public tax filings.
The most expensive Blue Hill property that sold in recent weeks, 68 Sculpin Point Lane, wasn’t publicly listed. But it changed hands for $5.75 million in late February, according to public tax filings.
It was sold to an LLC named after the property with a mailing address in Deerfield, Massachusetts.
