Stunning Rhode Island Estate Lists for $17 Million-but It Comes With a Gargantuan (and Very Costly) Catch
Briefly

A luxury estate in North Kingstown, RI, has listed for $17 million, showcasing high-end amenities like a saltwater pool and home theater. However, a prominent feature—a 411-foot wind turbine—is not mentioned in the listing. The turbine has previously drawn ire from local residents, who were compensated to remain silent about its presence. While the land under the turbine is included in the sale, the turbine itself is not. The new owner has the option to continue a lease with a clean energy company, potentially generating income from the installation despite its controversial nature.
A notable feature of this $17M estate is a 411-foot wind turbine, not referenced in the listing, which has stirred local controversy.
The wind turbine, built in 2012, looms over the estate, previously sparking objections from neighbors who received compensation to not criticize the project.
While the estate listing highlights luxurious amenities, it conveniently omits the wind turbine, leading to speculation about its impact on property value.
The property has a prevailing lease with a clean energy company that could yield income for the new owner, should they coexist with the turbine.
