Location: Yarmouth, Maine

Price: $2,375,000

It's not the best time to go marketing a waterfront estate in the Northeast, but if this Yarmouth, Maine, estate weathers the storms, the 2005 house has plenty going for it. Enough to justify a $2,400,000 price tag? Maybe. In the broad strokes at least, it has the classic shingle-style look, but with modern amenities like a billiard room and a wet bar. While making no "green" claims, this place is certainly more energy efficient than its drafty old counterparts.
