7 Super Expensive Middlesex County Properties No One Wants To Buy
These multi-million dollar properties are some of the most enviable around. But they have been sitting on the market for at least a year.

Maybe we've had it wrong this whole time. Maybe being a multi-millionaire is tough business. How would you feel if you just couldn't unload your picture perfect home on acres of luscious land, even after shaving millions off the asking price? OK, maybe it's not so bad.
So what to do with multi-million dollar properties that have sat on the market for at least a year or been listed and re-listed several times? Just sit back, fiddle with the price, and let everyday schmoes like us click through the pictures and hope you forget a zero or two in the next re-listing. Of course, if you are looking to make a big-ticket purchase and feeling opportunistic, these properties are for you after all the price cuts.

Have you ever wanted to live in Virginia without, you know, actually moving there? It doesn't get much better than this. This property is modeled after Westover Plantation, a beautiful Georgian style mansion near Williamsburg, Virginia. And if that Virginia part doesn't entice you, I know one that may: The wine cellar. You can stock more than 4,000 bottles, if you have any money left after forking over the near-$17 million you need here. That's still dramatically less than it was initially listed for a few years ago.

I thought people wanted to move to Weston? Especially when you can score a steal. Like this one, which recently took a nice dip in price after being on the market for a year. How about we make a deal: We play 18 at the Weston Golf Club this property nudges up against. Winner puts up for the down payment.

The endless selling points make this an easy write-up: 2.6 acre estate bordering a wooded conversation on Newton's oldest road. A dual tennis-sports court. An independent guest carriage house residing above five garage bays. Oh, and the heated salt water pool. What we really like are the two times the asking price was substantially lowered from the original $10 million+.

Happy 1-year anniversary to this stunner being on the market. (Really! Wednesday, so it just makes our cutoff.) You can get 6+ acres of Concord land highlighted by this home, the interior of which is bathed in natural light. The lower levels offer a wine cellar, exercise, and a massage room. Yes, a massage room. Can someone loan me roughly $4.3 million?

Get out your pen, paper, and calculator. This home initially put on the market in 2006 for $550,000. It has been listed or re-listed seven times since, according to Realtor.com, the most recent May listing bumping the price up to $3.65 million. That's would be some kind of return on investment. Now it's your turn.

It sometimes pays to wait. Here's a great example of waiting paying more than $700,000. That's how much the price has dropped over four price changes in the two years since this has been listed. When you factor in the 19 rooms over the entire estate and the Italian imported wood-burning Beehive pizza oven, you may not want to fall victim to waiting for a fifth price drop.

You're getting some bang for your buck here. This home clocks in at under $2 million following some price drops and more than a year on the market. And for that you get 4.16 park-like acres with a long circular drive. Ever want a library and a master suite with a spa? This is worth the click.
