What You Get for...$7 Million
What You Get for... $7 Million
This week the popular NY Times online feature "Property Values" includes a Lila Delman Real Estate listing in Middletown, RI.
Sometimes it's $400,000, sometimes it's $15,000,000...but it's always interesting to compare your area of the country with others and the properties featured in this column are always unique in some way.
The Lila Delman Real Estate listing that's featured in this article is the Kennel Cottage at Gray Craig. Once a home for the original estate owner's prized Pekineses, now a beautifully renovated home on over 8 acres. The home is a dream, but the grounds are one of the great surprises left here on Aquidneck Island. With commanding views of Little Compton and beyond from a cistern at the highest point, to a 30,000 sq ft walled fruit orchard with a magnificent Italianate tea house, one must think that when Gray Craig was divided, the Kennel Cottage got some of the choicest and most private areas of the estate's landscape. Check out the tour and come back as more photos will be added as the flowers bloom.

Who would have thought that a most of the choice land in that estate went to "the dogs". Kennels just aren't what they used to be!
Great article!

What a lovely property. It looks like the most peaceful place. Who would have guessed that such a setting would have gone to the "dogs". In my next life I want to come back as a Pekinese of a wealthy estate owner.
