Weston home sale shatters records

The most expensive single-family, non-waterfront home in Massachusetts history recently sold in Weston for $25.8 million.

Amy Mizner of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty confirmed the sale of the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired house at 9 Atlas Lane on Friday, June 5.

The limestone house was custom-built in 2011. At 17,067 square feet, it sits on six acres adjacent to the Weston Reservoir. It was designed by architect Thomas Catalano, and, according to Mizner, was designed to integrate with the natural surroundings.

“It’s an authentic Prairie-style home, a very unusual listing,” Mizner said.

Wright’s Prairie-style homes emerged in the late 19th and early 20th century in the American Midwest, and echoed that region’s flat landscape through horizontal lines, open floor plans, natural materials and integration with the surrounding landscape, according to the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust.

The Weston listing took a few years to sell, dropping from its 2022 price tag of $38 million, although there had been ongoing interest in the property, Mizner said.

“It really resonated with this buyer and the timing was everything,” she said. She declined to provide information about the buyer or seller.

The house has six bedrooms and eight baths. According to the Zillow listing, it boasts a fitness center, massage room, sauna, wine and game rooms, along with heated exterior courtyards, infinity pool, hot tub and waterfall. The primary suite has a sitting room with a fireplace and crafted marble bathroom and a balcony with an outdoor shower, overlooking a landscape of “rolling meadows.”

There is also a buildable lot, for “expanded possibilities,” Mizner said.

“You don’t get this kind of acreage and access in other towns,” Mizner said. “This is unique to Weston.”
