Mystery Buyer Assembles 19 Naples Acres for $311 Million
Naples is drawing significant luxury real-estate investment, highlighted by a mystery buyer’s $311 million assembly of nearly 19 waterfront acres on Gordon Drive amid a surge in high-end sales. For buyers seeking land to build on, experts advise confirming legal access, boundaries, utilities, zoning, soil, drainage and financing before committing, since apparent acreage may not be practically buildable. In Connecticut’s Litchfield County, acreage alone is a poor measure of value: views, topography, wetlands, development potential and nearby conservation land can produce sharply different prices. Separately, a Litchfield, New Hampshire, planning update reported progress on the Colby Farm project, including a nearly certain daycare, a prospective bank tenant and planned townhouses next spring.
