Villa for sale in Middletown Second Beach-Paradise - Rhode Island

For Sale

The fact that Gray Craig is for sale is as notable as the fact that this stunning estate is owned by famous Hollywood star, Nicolas Cage. Parting with the property because his schedule keeps him from Newport, Rhode Island, the actor has reluctantly put this fine country home on the market, becoming one in only a small number of owners who have done so in its ninety years of occupation.

Indeed, such is the pedigree of this property that Mr. Cage is the latest in a long line of illustrious owners of Gray Craig, a home and accompanying estate that not only looks European, but has all the ancestry and tradition of the Old World. The home itself is set within a magnificent 27 acres of sprawling greenery that encompasses immaculate lawns and landscaped gardens as well as rural pastures and wooded groves where wildlife flourishes.

Constructed with textured brick and stone, this is a home with the look and ambience of a true country estate – yet situated just two miles from the pretty harbor waterfront of Newport. Inside, the home is as exquisite as outside, with a grand hallway and sweeping staircase. Leading on from here are a series of stylishly appointed rooms, including a formal living room with expansive sea views, stately dining room, billiard room, a library and a lovely gourmet kitchen. The home has recently been brought up to date with modern comforts and luxuries, including advanced climate control and wiring, heated garages and a modern gym.

Such features compliment an American gem resplendent with terraced lawns, a stone terrace with outdoor fireplace, a swimming pool and a tennis court. Adjacent to the property there is a cottage with gardens that originally formed part of the Gray Craig estate yet could be acquired to form one grand country property.

Furniture not included.
