A sprawling Massachusetts mansion that was the site of a murder-suicide has gone on the market for $4.2 million, with the property listing describing it as a “perfect family home.”
The 11-bedroom, 11.5-bathroom property in Dover, MA, was listed earlier this week, eight months after its former owner, businessman Rakesh “Rick” Kamal, fatally shot his wife and their teenage daughter before turning the gun on himself.
The listing makes no mention of the property’s history, instead focusing on the home’s amenities and picturesque surroundings.
“This home is seamlessly integrated into the idyllic, manicured grounds overlooking wooded hiking paths, bridle trails, and a tranquil pond in the extremely desirable Wilsons Way neighborhood,” it reads.
The description highlights features such as a four-car garage, formal and informal dining rooms, newly renovated gourmet kitchen, library, and marble-topped wet bar.
“A perfect family home, this property offers a 14-seat home theater, relaxing family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, 20X40 indoor pool, fully-equipped gym, sauna with a steam shower, extensive storage, and 5,000 bottle wine cellar,” the listing adds.
The 27-room home was built in 2000 and extensively renovated. Kamal and his wife Teena purchased it for $4 million in 2019.
On Dec. 28, 2023—three days after Christmas—Kamal fatally shot his 54-year-old spouse and their 18-year-old daughter Arianna before killing himself.
Earlier this month it emerged that the family had been buried in debt and were facing eviction from the property on the day of their deaths. Kamal’s younger sibling Manoj Kamal told police that his older brother owed him $150,000. The Boston Globe reported that Kamal had recently lost his home to foreclosure after failing to keep up with mortgage payments.
Kamal reportedly left a note for someone scheduled to pick up the keys according to Fox News. The note instructed them to “call the police” before entering the property and mentioned that he had marked each bedroom where bodies could be found with a sheet of paper.
“Please note,” read the message. “Before entering call the Police to first check three bedrooms on the second floor. Each room will be marked by a white sheet of paper.”
