Lots of rumors flying around the docks this weekend...but the one that kept coming up was that Rob Gronkowski bought a home on Governors Island.
What say you...true or false??? Dan

I heard the same from the Captain while taking a “Tiki Boat” tour of the island 3 weeks ago.
Story goes, he’s “building” a home - if true- that narrows down the options significantly To me- still just a Rumor.

I say “TRUE” why not! He’s a party animal and a McMansion on Winni would be right up his alley!

I heard a rumor that he was going to be handing out free samples of CBD cream.

I have a horrible outlook on this, I guess I just don't care....
If he bought Marc's place great.... if he didn't well that stinks for Marc, who has been trying to sell for many years, (makes me think he really doesn't want to sell).... If did by a place, even if it wasn't Marc's, well good for him, hopefully he drives a boat better then he acts....

Marc's place is showing as active online, not under contract. The agent that has the listing would have marked it under contract. Not all do, but she is one of the more prominent agents in the area and I think she would play by the rules.
There are no lots or homes listed as under contract or pending on MLS presently that are on Governor's Island, for what its worth. Maybe he can get a good deal on Patrick Chung's place in Meredith? ![]() |

Come to think of it, I honestly don’t think Gronk could afford Bourgeois place. According to the net, Gronk’s net worth is 40 million. It would take 25% of that just to purchase the home never mind the maintenance and upkeep and the $100,000.00 yearly tax fee! He is also jobless right now! Dan

On your right as you are coming out of Wolfeboro Bay. Just before Hopewell Point. It may even be part of Hopewell Point.

You came out of Wolfeboro heading west and took a left at the top of he hill down a steep hill that went by a town beach at the bottom then you went right after the beach and meandered around until you were back on the lake side. Big kind of ugly modern styled place. What a job! Place had a thousand windows. |

Frankly aside from the stately entrance, the roof lines, siding, and windows look like they belong in a suburban sub-division. Not attractive at all.

Well, I don't know for sure, but given Gronk's recent interview about his head injuries from football, he might not know for sure, either.

I live in the Wolfeboro Neck neighborhood where this “kingdom” is being built. Word in the neighborhood is it will be 23,000 sq ft with large acreage and many out buildings. The home so far is beautiful, but resembles a mountain lodge more than a lake house.
The ugly Ferguson monstrosity is across the road from my house. It is on the market for $10 million and has been on and off for years with price going down. It has been used recently as Air BnB rental by the BR. |

Okay -- let's end the speculation that Gronk bought the Bourgeois place.
Just yesterday received the following update from Realtor.com.

The boat is only worth $1MM used, so of course it could be part of the negotiations. 10% or the house asking price. It's like buying a wheelbarrow at a yard sale and asking if they will throw in the shovel. OK. OK. Nobody is serious anymore. LOL.
