• Severe Wind Risk: The property has a severe wind risk (8/10), which may result in higher insurance premiums and potential damage from coastal storms. North Kingstown's coastal location makes it vulnerable to strong winds and hurricanes. • High Property Taxes: Rhode Island has relatively high property taxes, which would add significantly to the overall cost of ownership for this estate. The exact property tax amount is not provided in the listing, but it is likely to be substantial given the property's value. • Potential Maintenance Costs: The 2007 construction suggests systems and appliances may need replacement soon. The in-ground saltwater swimming pool and cabana equipped with 2 kitchens, bathroom and laundry, helipad, turf playground area, in-ground trampoline, chic chicken coop, stone pizza oven, outdoor sauna and 20+ koi fish pond all require ongoing maintenance and upkeep, which can be costly and time-consuming. Deferred maintenance could negatively impact the property's value and appeal. • Dependence on Septic System: Many rural properties in North Kingstown depend on septic systems. These systems require regular maintenance and may be subject to stricter regulations than public sewer systems. The property description does not specify well and septic, however, many rural properties in North Kingstown use them. • Limited Rental Potential: While the property could potentially be rented out for short-term events or as a luxury vacation rental, the high price point and unique features may limit its appeal to a broader rental market.
