The Chippanee Country Club in Bristol is being offered for sale as a potential housing development site. The 18-hole club property is owned by a limited liability company headed by prominent businessman Frederick W. “Fritz” Blasius Jr., owner of Waterbury-headquartered car dealership Loehmann-Blasius Chevrolet. City records show the Blasius-affiliated LLC bought the three abutting properties — totaling roughly 140 acres between Marsh Road and Hill Street — for $1.27 million in 2015. A 133-acre portion of the properties went on the market this week with a $5 million asking price. The seller is represented by Middlebury-based Drubner Commercial Real Estate Services.
