FANTASTIC SEAWARD ESTATE

“Seaward,” as this 45-acre property is dubbed, doesn’t boast a historic pedigree, a Bellevue Avenue location or even a particularly massive footprint…

But it has 7,600-square-foot home and matching 3,500-square-foot guest cottage have southern ocean views and overlook the greens of the tony Newport Country Club.

Once known as the Avalon estate, the property last sold in 2004 for a mere $10.3 million. The only comparable home of this size nearby is Hammersmith Farm, the estate where Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis grew up.

The former owners of the property, James and Candace Van Alen, founded the International Tennis Hall of Fame and were well-known Newport socialites.

The home is the most expensive ever listed in Rhode Island. Amenities include six bedrooms, an infinity-edge pool, private water frontage and a mooring on Price’s Neck Cove. The home, built in 2009, also features a four-car garage.

The price? A cool $45 million.
