NARRAGANSETT A rustic family compound on a wooded waterfront of Point Judith Pond sold this week for $4.1 million, the highest price for a single property in Narragansett so far this year, according to Lila Delman Compass.
Dan and Nicole Harding, who work as a team at the Lila Delman Compass Narragansett office, sold more than $25 million worth of real estate in Washington County in 2020 and $12 million so far this year, the brokerage said. The couple represented the seller, the Kenyon family, in Monday’s transaction.
The 66 acres at 125 Kenyon Farms Rd., which stretches to the end of Cedar Point and is roughly the length of Ram Island in Point Judith Pond, has belonged to the Kenyon family for at least 100 years, Dan Harding said one of the five Kenyon siblings told him. One brother has occupied the property, one sibling lives in Norway and the others are scattered around the country, he said.
