Dorinda Medley is selling a portion of her Bluestone Manor estate in the Berkshires for $1.2 million [1].
The sale clarifies the status of the iconic property following circulating rumors that Medley intended to sell the entire estate. By specifying the limited scope of the transaction, Medley maintains ownership of her primary residence while capitalizing on the land's value.
Medley, 61 [3], said the matter during an interview at the New York City premiere of "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th" [2]. The series began airing on Aug. 9, 2024 [2].
The land being sold consists of 3.689 acres [1]. Medley said she is selling this specific parcel to allow a buyer to build a new manor on the site [2].
Bluestone Manor is located in Great Barrington, Massachusetts [4]. The transaction was first reported on July 30, 2024 [3]. Medley used the public appearance to dispel the notion that she was leaving the estate entirely, a move that has long been a focal point of her public persona.
The sale price of $1.2 million [1] reflects the current market for luxury acreage in the Berkshires region. Medley did not provide further details on the identity of the buyer or the specific timeline for the construction of the new manor.

The partial sale of Bluestone Manor allows Medley to monetize a significant asset without relinquishing her connection to the estate. In the context of high-end real estate, subdividing a large parcel for a new luxury build is a common strategy to extract equity while retaining the primary residence.
