Clearview Country Club in Millbury
A Hopedale property developer has bought Millbury's Clearview Country Club, two years after the town turned down an opportunity to buy the nine-hole golf course.
The buyer, Eastland Partners, has a long-planned proposal for 60 single-family homes for the Park Hill Avenue site. The company's management couldn't immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.
Eastland is the builder of Rogerson Crossing in Uxbridge, Crosswinds in Upton, Walden Woods in Milford, and Woodside Condominiums in Medway, among others.
Eastland bought the site for $2.85 million from a limited partnership registered to Neil Loomis, who couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
The sale, which covers roughly 143 acres, closed Sept. 3.
Millbury had a right of first refusal to buy the site because of its preservation-focused tax structure. Town Meeting voters narrowly rejected a plan to buy the site for $3.1 million in 2018.
If the site is redeveloped as housing, it would be the latest golf course to have that fate in Central Massachusetts. In Framingham, the former Millwood Farms Golf Course is now being turned into a 129-unit housing development called Millwood Preserve for those 55 and older. In Millis, Glen Ellen Country Club has been turned into 329 homes in the Regency at Glen Ellen development.
