Alexander Forbes Mansion Hits the Market in Massachusetts at $14.5 Million
In the heart of Scott’s Woods, one of the most storied enclaves in Milton, 610 Harland St emerges as a defining property within today’s Milton Real Estate market. Listed at $14.5 million, the Alexander Forbes Mansion is a rare six-acre estate that pairs Gilded Age grandeur with meticulous 21st-century renovation. Built in 1910, the 11,315-square-foot residence has been carefully restored to preserve its architectural integrity while seamlessly integrating modern luxury.
Set just eight miles from Boston, this offering reflects the continued strength of Massachusetts Real Estate, particularly in legacy suburban communities where land, privacy, and provenance converge. For buyers seeking historic pedigree without sacrificing comfort, this estate stands in a category of its own.
“This is one of the most significant private residences to come to market in years,” listing agent Tracy Campion of Campion & Company tells Luxury Houses Magazine. “Homes of this scale, on this acreage, in this location are exceptionally rare.”

A Masterclass in Historic Restoration and Modern Living
From the moment one steps inside 610 Harland St, the home’s scale and craftsmanship are immediately apparent. A grand foyer with a sweeping staircase sets a dramatic tone, complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interiors with natural light. Formal living and dining rooms maintain their classic proportions, while the open kitchen and family room introduce a contemporary flow suited to both daily living and large-scale entertaining.
Additional main-level spaces include a refined home office, a luminous solarium, and a thoughtfully designed mudroom with direct access to the three-car garage. Upstairs, five bedroom suites provide privacy and comfort, anchored by a primary suite that functions as a secluded retreat, complete with dual dressing rooms and a spa-caliber bath.
According to Campion, “The renovation respected the home’s 1910 origins while bringing every mechanical and structural system to modern standards. It’s historic in spirit, but entirely turnkey.”

Private Park-Like Grounds Beneath the Blue Hills
The grounds of 610 Harland St are as compelling as the interiors. Landscaped to evoke a private estate park, the six-acre setting includes a heated in-ground pool, multiple patios, curated garden areas, a fire pit, and a full tennis court. A restored carriage house enhances the compound-like feel of the property, offering flexibility for guests or additional recreational use.
Positioned at the base of the Blue Hills Reservation, the estate offers immediate access to hiking trails and sweeping natural vistas—an amenity that continues to elevate Milton Real Estate among discerning buyers. At the same time, the property remains minutes from Milton Academy, one of New England’s most prestigious institutions.
“Buyers are drawn to the balance here,” Campion explains to Luxury Houses. “You have extraordinary privacy and acreage, yet you’re within easy reach of downtown Boston, top schools, and cultural institutions.”

A Compelling Investment Story in Massachusetts Real Estate
Beyond its architectural and lifestyle appeal, 610 Harland St tells a compelling investment story. Public records indicate the estate last sold in December 2015 for $3.5 million. Following extensive renovations and years of appreciation within the Massachusetts Real Estate market, the property is now offered at $14.5 million. Previous listing attempts in 2025 reached as high as $17.5 million, underscoring both the scale of the asset and the strategic pricing behind its current positioning.
Zillow estimates place the home’s value near $14.7 million, reflecting substantial long-term growth and continued demand for estate-caliber properties in established luxury suburbs.
“The appreciation here is not accidental,” Campion notes. “The owners invested significantly in restoring the estate to a level that competes with the finest properties anywhere in New England.”
A Rare Opportunity in an Elite Suburban Market
As inventory tightens across premier suburban enclaves, opportunities like 610 Harland St remain scarce. Its combination of historic pedigree, modern infrastructure, expansive acreage, and proximity to Boston places it firmly at the top tier of Milton Real Estate offerings.
