A 7,000-square-foot oceanfront estate near Nubble Lighthouse off the coast of York was the most expensive home sold in Maine during the month of October.
We found the 10 most expensive residential property sales that took place across the state in October using information from state transfer tax documents, which are available to the public online.
All of the homes are located along Maine’s coast, stretching as far south as York up to Milbridge in Washington County. The properties have a combined sale price of more than $42 million but cost an average of $4.2 million.
However, it’s important to note that the most expensive properties sold in Maine last month were commercial sites and vacant land rather than homes. In South Portland, 2 & 29 Gannett Drive sold for $24.8 million, making it the state’s most expensive property sale in October.
