LandVest recently announced the highest sale of a residential property in Bristol on record. The property at 458 Poppasquash Road, listed by LandVest agent Terry Boyle, closed for $8,000,000 on Tuesday, Aug. 1.

It was listed by Boyle for $7,975,000 in May of 2023 and was under contract in 17 days.

“This sale marks a new high watermark for the Town of Bristol and was one of the smoothest transactions I have ever worked on,” said Boyle. “The property was immaculate and very well received by the market in the first week it hit the market. The sellers were incredible stewards of the property and they are thrilled that it is passing to another owner who will enjoy it.”

This unique seaside property is situated on 2.78± beachfront acres on a private peninsula in Bristol’s Poppasquash Point. The property offers views of Prudence Island, the National Estuarine Sanctuary, and the ocean. The home includes over 9,000 finished sq. ft., recently upgraded and expanded in 2022, with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.

The previous highest residential sale price was the waterfront compound property at 55 Ferry Road that sold for $6,750,000 in 2017 to Roger Williams University.

The buyer for the sale was represented by Patrice Fenton of Compass out of Charlestown, Rhode Island.
