Clapboard Island West in Falmouth was sold this month for $4.07 million.
The buyers of the Clapboard Island estate live in Falmouth Foreside.
The estate was built in 100 days by 100 local artisans and incorporated pine floors from Oregon, stone fireplaces, post-and-beam ceilings, and antique fixtures which are all still present in the home today.
The 9,000-square-foot estate on Clapboard Island West was built in 1898 by railroad tycoon Samuel F. Houston and a friend, architect Joseph M. Huston.
The previous owners of the Clapboard Island estate in Falmouth, Al and Dawn Hoffman, could no longer care for the sprawling 22-acre estate and listed the property in 2015.
The estate on an island off Falmouth has 18 rooms, five beaches, a helicopter landing pad, stone fireplaces, a guest house, stone pier, barn, children’s playhouse and hiking trails.
Clapboard Island West will remain private and will be separate from a 15-acre preserve on the eastern end of Clapboard that is owned and operated by Maine Coast Heritage Trust, a coastal land conservation organization based in Topsham.
The Clapboard Island estate is set on 22 acres with 3,200 feet of Casco Bay water frontage.
Clapboard Island, which is about one mile from the mainland, is a five-minute boat ride from the Falmouth Town Landing. The island is situated between the mainland and Long and Chebeague islands.
