If you’re looking for a new house in the Guilford, Connecticut area and you absolutely must have a go kart track and oceanside views, this might be your only option. Located at 215 Uncas Point Rd., this 13-acre property—featuring a 5,354 square foot mega main house, a 3,583 square foot guest house, and an in-law suite bigger than my apartment—is currently on the market with a very affordable $35,000,000 price tag. That’s a small price to pay for a private karting track right on the wide open Atlantic Ocean, especially one that includes a “circle of life,” a pool, and tennis courts.
Why bother going to a real race track to test your mettle against the riff raff when you can just stay right at home where it’s comfortable and get the fastest time of day in a competition of one?
This property has been owned and renovated by the same party since 2002. According to real estate records, they purchased the property for $3,200,000 back then. It’s difficult to say at first glance what improvements have been made to the property in that time, but for the value of the property to have increased tenfold in 22 years is quite impressive. Was it the mystical magic of stonehenge that made the site so much more valuable?
So how much is this place going to cost you per month to get incredibly good at go karting? Well, if you put down the standard 20 percent, that’s $7,000,000 plus fees and paying your realtor. You’d be getting a loan for about $28,000,000 with an average current rate of six percent, and the $990 monthly HOA fee, you’re probably going to pay around a quarter million dollars per month for the privilege. If you have some well-to-do friends, you might be able to rent out the guest house for at least a portion of that. Be generous and charge them a fair $150,000 per month to stay there and you’re really cutting down your monthly.
It’s a small price to pay for living at the perfect house. Why wouldn’t you want to walk out every morning and see this hideous faux castle?

And because these photos were taken on behalf of real estate agents who don’t know dick about cars, go carts, or racing, there isn’t a single fucking image of the inside of the garage. This property is explicitly built for an enthusiast, but the listing doesn’t cater to the people who would be most interested in having a big garage and a go cart track. Make it make sense.
