DULUTH – Kathy Cargill, who [became a household name](https://www.startribune.com/kathy-cargill-finally-reveals-her-plan-for-park-point-and-the-reason-shes-scrapping-it/600353580) in Duluth when her company purchased and demolished a dozen Park Point homes in recent years, is now selling nearly half of the properties on the 6-mile sandbar.
Three properties on the Lake Superior side of the point that separates the lake and the mouth of the St. Louis River have been consolidated into one listing. There are three for sale on the side of the Duluth-Superior Harbor, two as bare land and one with a house. Altogether, their listings total $2.7 million.
“I think it’s a positive development; we’ve got a housing crisis,” neighbor Alan Dartanyan said of the listings.
He lives in a bungalow near one of the demolished homes, and hopes the lots will lead to newly built houses and an end to the “eyesore” temporary fencing installed around the properties.
In late 2022, 2023 and 2024, a limited liability company run by Cargill called North Shore LS purchased [property after property](https://www.startribune.com/cargill-family-members-company-buys-more-homes-on-duluths-park-point/600349456/), many for twice their estimated market value. Sales included 13 homes and nearly two dozen parcels.
The Lakes Sotheby’s International Realty listings appear to be the first move Cargill has made with the properties in more than a year, since erecting that fencing and “private property” signs. It is unclear why she is now selling some of them.
Cargill, her attorney and the real estate agent representing the listings did not respond to messages.
