“Beam Ends,” as the three-home waterfront compound is called, sold on June 30 for $38,127,500 — the most ever paid for a single residence on Nantucket.

The luxury home was listed for $56 million last summer and spent 343 days on the market, according to the Multiple Listing Service.

In addition to being located on a 3.56 acre, beachfront lot in the tony Monomoy neighborhood, it is adjacent to conservation land, so it ensures privacy.

The new buyers, represented by J. Pepper Frazier Real Estate, according to the Globe, have not been named. The sale was to Nantucket Mountain LLC.

The private beach is an ideal spot for swimming, boating, and listening to the waves while watching ferries from Oak Bluffs and Hyannis come and go in Nantucket Harbor.

“Not only was it a privilege to have represented such a magnificent and magical property,” said Marybeth Gilmartin-Baugher of Compass, who listed the property with Shelly Tretter Lynch, “but it was incredibly rewarding to have all parties involved so pleased with the process and transaction.”
