As we get through the aftermath of the Blizzard of 2015, why not dream of spending summers in this luxurious shingle-style Dartmouth compound at the tip of a peninsula that juts five miles into Buzzards Bay.
Designed by renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern and built in 2007, the 22,000-square-foot property known as Seapoint has a main house with five-bedrooms and 10 bathrooms and a guest house with three bedrooms. It's located on 10 landscaped acres, with 270-degree ocean views and 1,500 feet of water frontage bordered by a seawall.
The current owner, who runs a financial services company and has a home in Boston, used Seapoint as a summer retreat. But he has already moved into another summer home he had built on the Cape. The Dartmouth property has been up for sale since July, listed for a cool $25 million.
"There are very few buyers at this price point," said listing broker Robert Kinlin of Robert Paul Properties, who said the price also includes a buildable lot in the gated community and golf club at nearby Round Hill. "You have people who don't need to sell and people who don't need to buy."
Kinlin said that the eventual buyer of Seapoint will be someone who falls in love with the site. It could easily be a year-round home, he said, although it most likely will be someone's second, third or fourth place. The annual taxes are $178,760.
"It's an amazing piece of earth, first of all," said Kinlin of the waterfront site "You've got views out to Cuttyhunk and Martha's Vineyard. For a property like this, the land is the most important thing, followed by the house."
The site served as a lookout for German submarines during World War II, and there's still a gun turret on the property.
With its wraparound porches, outdoor patios, infinity-edge pool and water dock, Seapoint feels like a hotel resort. Almost every room has a water view.
The enormous second-floor master bedroom suite includes two full bathrooms and two dressing rooms with custom built-ins, a hand-painted, barrel-vault ceiling and a gas fireplace with a baroque pattern of gilt silver. Private staircases from the suite lead to a circular library and home office and there's an outdoor deck with ocean views.
The current owners also hired local artisans to add nautical motifs such as a curved custom fireplace fashioned from stones and driftwood from Buzzards Bay. Craftsmen also made bulls-eye glass windows for the foyer, adorned a living room mantelpiece with shells and mermaids, and carved a rope motif into the dining room floors and seashells into the kitchen floors.
Then there's the unique amenities on the lower level such as a regulation bowling alley, a custom-built stone-fronted circular wine cellar as well as a bar carved to resemble the prow of a ship.
The five-mile Mishaum Point peninsula is a gated community of high-end summer homes 66 miles from downtown Boston.
"Unlike the Cape, you don't have to cross any bridges to get to Dartmouth," Kinlin said. "And it's a quiet, low-key area ideal for someone who wants privacy."
