Before this sale, the five-bedroom house at 1786 Corn Neck Road had only one owner, and it looks out over the Great Salt Pond and Block Island Sound. Its September 11, 2026 closing led the Providence metro area’s five highest-priced reported home sales for the week of September 7 through September 13, a group that combined for $15.35 million.
A beachfront home in Westerly’s Misquamicut Beachfront neighborhood also sold for $3.35 million that day. The five sales span Block Island, Misquamicut Beachfront, Newport, Sconticut Neck and Fogland, with the list crossing the state line at Fairhaven, Massachusetts. Water is the common thread in this week’s Providence real estate roundup, from Block Island Sound and Newport Harbor to Buzzards Bay and the Sakonnet River.
