If you thought our recent Tudor-style castle in New Jersey and the opulent Old Westbury mansion listings were impressive, you’ll drool over the most expensive house in Rhode Island. And yes, we’ve got an inside look at all the over-the-top rooms and absolutely stunning vistas.
And bookmark our home and real estate column to keep seeing wow-worthy listings like this one.
“Bayberry Farm: an unparalleled 108-acre waterfront estate. Private, mile-long laneway meanders through pristine woodlands, past a picturesque lily pond, through fields of open pasture, as the residence rises provocatively on the horizon,” begins the listing for 441 West Main Road in Little Compton, Rhode Island.
And yes, this is Rhode Island’s most expensive home on the market right now thanks to a cool $22,500,000 price tag.
“Substantial and brilliantly designed, this dramatic illustration of New England Vernacular architecture is set on high presiding over the Sakonnet Passage and ocean beyond.”
The home, which was built in 2019, features a variety of architectural types and styles. It’s a sort of glammed-up frankenhouse in the best possible way.
“The interior is just as meticulously executed as the exterior—intentionally designed to embrace the natural landscape and fully incorporate the bucolic surroundings with exceptional appointments throughout.”
And with nearly 14,000 square feet of living space, 10 bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms, there are enough light, bright rooms in every corner of the house to satisfy just about every taste and style.
“Expansive entertaining spaces complement more classically scaled rooms, with walls of glass and intoxicating views.”
We’re particularly fond of the ocean-facing eat-in kitchen with enough workspace to start a professional bakery (not that you feel like actually doing that) and loads of custom cabinets for all your vintage cast iron skillets and brand-new appliances.
It’s a decidedly posh take on the Atlantic views the rustic Maine beach house we recently profiled offers.
“Numerous guest suites are found across the homes several distinct wings, with a secluded primary suite found on the main level. Savor the epitome of coastal New England living at this exceptional, legacy-quality estate.”
And if you’re worried about the views staying pristine, don’t worry. The home is situated on 108 private acres with direct ocean access. That means nobody will block your views or build a monstrosity next to your safe haven, although you could theoretically sell off bits of your land down the road if you want to get some of your cash out.

The home, which is considered an artist’s haven, features a myriad of design styles ranging from New England country classic to European posh. And there’s even a dash of over-the-top Hamptons flair along the exterior of the property.
Truly, we weren’t kidding when we said there’s something for every style and taste.
If entertaining is your thing, there are loads of guest suites and nearly-private guest entrances throughout the horseshoe-shaped building that is cleverly divided.
Each space has a distinct feeling and vibe as if you’re walking through experiential rooms rather than a cohesive home (and that’s pretty cool if you’re the type who always wants something fresh.
We love tha all red wet bar and butler’s pantry that makes entertaining large groups an easy task, and the sun-drenched glass corridors that feature breathtaking Atlantic Ocean views on even the chilliest Rhode Island days.
If you fancy yourself a bit of a creative type, there’s even an art studio bathed in natural light for you to churn out your absolute best work.
And the bedrooms? To die for. They’re just waiting for your best indoor house plants and a touch of pizzazz.
Just look at all the checkerboard tile and the gorgeous full-size soaking tub in the master bedroom. The massive windows let adjustable amounts of natural light into the room are the obvious cherry on top.
Views of the ocean, natural sea grasses and oodles of expertly-planted zone 6 perennials are offered from literally every room in the house, which makes sense because the most expensive house in Rhode Island really should feel like a vacation, shouldn’t it?
