A 21,000-square-foot home in the estate section of Southampton Village sold in early December for $33.7 million, county real estate records show.
The nearly five-acre estate at 55 Coopers Neck Lane changed hands on December 8, 2020, a transaction between two limited liability companies. The last asking was $39.995 million. Preston Kaye and Gary Cooper of Hedgerow Exclusive Properties and Terry Cohen of Saunders & Associates shared the exclusive on the property.
Longhampton Island LLC was listed as the purchaser and 180 Great Plains Road LLC was the seller.
A new-build, the 11-bedroom, 12-bath home offers luxury living and top-notch amenities, including an indoor pool, 18-seat large screen theater, a two-lane bowling alley and outdoor pool surrounded by a Turkish marble patio, spa, outdoor fireplace and sunken tennis court. Plus, there is a 6,000-square-foot guest house.
Among some of the most impressive design features inside the main house are a double-height foyer entry, which has a fireplace with marble surround and hearth, and the great room, which has a wet bar and a gas fireplace set in a dramatic porcelain slab. The Ciuffo-designed chef’s kitchen features two-inch Calcutta countertops, a honed Calcutta waterfall island, dark wood cabinetry, top-grade appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero, including paneled refrigerator and freezer, white lacquered cabinets and prep kitchen with two ovens, range, pizza oven, marble walls and walnut cabinets.
While there is a luxurious first-floor master bedroom, there is a main master upstairs with his and her closets and a master bath with glass and marble walls and floor, room-size glass-walled marble shower, two marble vanities, dressing table and private water closet.
The deeds show that back in October, 1384 Meadow Lane in Southampton Village sold and closed at $16 million. An original beach house sits on three acres, overlooking the ocean with 150 feet of frontage and views of Shinnecock Bay. There are plans for a modern home to replace the beach house, and to add an oceanside pool and tennis court. Tim Davis with Corcoran listed it at $21.5 million in 2019. The price was lowered to $19.5 million in February and later $16.95 million.
Also recently marked sold and closed was 1 Potato Road in Sagaponack. The contemporary oceanfront home located on 0.88 of an acre off of Daniel’s Lane was last listed at $16.5 million and traded at $15 million. The 3,400-square-foot, four-bedroom home offers panoramic water views, including from the master suite. Vincent Horcasitas at Saunders & Associates had the listing.
In the Sag Harbor area, the most expensive home may have sold in November when 23 Ezekills Hollow in North Haven sold for $14.5 million. The 10,000-square-foot modern waterfront home on two acres features eight bedrooms and eight baths with 20-foot folding glass doors to provide indoor-outdoor living with views across the water to Shelter Island. Matt Brientenbach at Compass listed it at $15.5 million. The Atlantic Team at Douglas Elliman brought the buyer, and it went into contract just 60 days after it went on the market.
Davis also had the listing at 281 Gin Lane in Southampton Village, which also sold in October, this one for $11.5 million. The nine-bedroom, 10.5-bath house on one of the village’s most famed streets in the estate section has separate wings. Most rooms open to the the courtyard terrace and a 60-foot swimming pool. Also located on the 2.2 acres are a tennis pavilion, tennis court and two-car garage. It had been listed as high as $16.5 million in 2016.
Also worth noting, over on Shelter Island a historic waterfront home sold this fall for $7.5 million. Known as Cherry Tree Farm at 5 Nordstrand Parkway is one of the anchor estate homes along “Greenlawns,” the first subdivision on Shelter Island. The three-acre property was initially listed at $9.25 million with Penelope Moore at Saunders & Associates.
First built in 1890, the house has been owned by the same family since 1903. Russell and Sandra O’Connor sold the property to Tic & Tac LLC. The family also recently sold 7.67 acres next door at 4 Nostrand Parkway to the Town of Shelter Island for $1.65 million in late 2019, according to The Shelter Island Reporter.
Now 5,400-square-feet, the house has many original features, like a fireplace with wrought-iron flourishes in the library, an authentic butler’s pantry with original wood cabinets, shelves and drawers, and the original iron stove, which, now decorative, remains in the kitchen. The two-story staff wing next to the kitchen has a sitting area, living room and back staircase leading to three finished rooms with bead board. A rolling lawn leads to the beach with a dock and vintage beach cabana that is grandfathered.
