NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sheldon Good & Company Luxury Residences, a Racebrook Portfolio Company and America’s leading real estate auctioneer, will sell a magnificent, 8,000 square foot waterfront estate on eight acres in Cotuit, within the town of Barnstable, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. Completed in 2008, “Idlewild” was constructed using rare, reclaimed, and antique materials. The result is a grand seaside estate with old-world features complete with a host of luxury amenities. The property will be sold via auction on November 28, 2012. Previously listed at $12,500,000, the sale presents a unique opportunity for a buyer to name their price for this truly exceptional home.

Located at 122 Pinquickset Cove Circle, the estate was designed by noted architect Fritz Krieger and features luxurious finishes inspired by classic design, including hand-painted 100-year old tiles, 200-year-old columns and beams taken from a barn in upstate New York, rare reclaimed white oak flooring, etched-glass doors, and lime-washed stone walls. Throughout the residence, one will find a rare international and domestic collection of 18 antique chandeliers. The four-bedroom seven-bathroom home offers beautiful waterfront views from all rooms and ceilings that soar up to 22 feet. The master bedroom was inspired by traditional French design and includes a barrel-vaulted ceiling and hand-crafted, scalloped knotty-pine paneling.
The sale of “Idlewild” coincides with Sheldon Good & Company’s expansion of its division dedicated to the sale of luxury residential properties. Sheldon Good & Company Luxury Residences leverages the company’s 45-year track record of proven results - including selling billions of dollars worth of property in every real estate asset class – to sell luxury estates, resort destinations, private islands and other properties.
