John D. Rockefeller III was the grandson of John D. Rockefeller prime, founder of Standard Oil and the turn-of-the-century version of Jeff Bezos. He bought the spread in the 1960s, leaving it to his son, David; after David’s death five months ago, the property came up for sale.

What you’ll get for the $19 mil: 14.5 acres on Mount Desert Island, seven bedrooms, a number of gardens, a granite swimming pool, an orchard, and Rockefeller’s study, which is, itself, beautiful.

And, quite possibly, some peace and quiet. And lobster rolls.
