An unusual octagon-shaped bed-and-breakfast in Oakland, built in 1850, has long thrived not only on tourism but on winter trade by visiting professors.
Henry H. Wildes Jr. and Sharon M. Wildes sold the Pressey House, at 32 Belgrade Road, to Ronald and Nicole Goodheart for an undisclosed price. The list price was $649,000. John McCarthy of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Real Estate represented the sellers and Jordan Stolt of Summit Real Estate represented the buyers in the deal. Also participating in the transaction were Andy Rhoades of Kennebec Saving Bank and attorney Jerome Gamache.
Located at the north end of Messalonskee Lake, the house was built between 1854 and 1858 by H.T. Pressey. It was put on the National Register of Historical Places in 1977, according to the inn’s website.
