Ghislaine Maxwell involved in neighbourly dispute in picturesque Massachusetts town

Ghislaine Maxwell was embroiled in a property dispute with her neighbours while living in Manchester-by-the-Sea, a picturesque town 30 miles north of Boston. The dispute arose while Maxwell was living at Phippin House, a seven-bedroom oceanfront property she shared with Scott Borgerson, with whom she was allegedly romantically linked last year. Mr Borgerson, who has insisted that he and Maxwell were only friends, bought the house via a limited liability company, Tidewood, for £2.4 million in 2016. The 18th-century house formed part of the 40-acre Sharksmouth Estate. One of six properties on the estate, Phippin House had belonged to Devereux and Jilda Barker. The Barkers had enjoyed the free run of the entire estate during the decades they lived there. Mr Borgerson and Maxwell expected to enjoy similar privileges. Mr Borgerson had enjoyed a harmonious relationship with the trustees of the Sharksmouth Estate.
