A 72-year-old golf course in Attleboro could see tee times replaced by nap times.
Stone-E-Lea golf course in Attleboro
The owners of the 140-acre Stone-E-Lea golf course are preparing to close the course by the end of 2026 and put it up for sale. Brokerage firm 128 CRE announced this week that it is marketing properties for sale as “large-scale” redevelopment opportunities.
“With several properties of its size and visibility available in the area, Stone-E-Lea represents a significant opportunity to reimagine a longtime Attleboro landmark for a new use,” 128 CRE said.
The property is being marketed as a rare opportunity not only due to its large size but also its location. Located off I-95 between the Boston and Providence metropolitan areas.
The golf course at 1411 County St. opened in 1954 and has been owned for its entire span by three generations of the Lapierre family. The family announced in August that it had made the “difficult” decision to close later this year due to David Lapierre’s “recent health struggles.”
128 CRE David Linehan, Adam Meixner, Jeremy Freid and Tyler Capecci represented the ownership in marketing and selling the property.
The closed golf course has been a big opportunity for development in recent years as Massachusetts leaders look to build more homes.
Boston investment firm DW Capital proposed a 290-unit redevelopment in April at the former Leicester Country Club in western Massachusetts, the Boston Business Journal reported. The 223-acre golf course closed last year.
This month, the owner of Wyckoff Country Club in Holyoke filed a proposal to convert the golf course into 100 “upscale” single-family homes, MassLive reported.
