An iconic property, once part of Henry Ford II’s Southampton oceanfront estate recently went into contract. Gary DePersia’s listing at 21 Fordune Drive in Water Mill was last listed at $9.95 million.
The 12,000-plus-square-foot French chateau-styled house situated on the 2.5 acres countryside estate went on the market with Corcoran this fall. It is just a sliver of the 235-acre estate the head of Ford Motor Company began carving out in the late 1950s. Some 20 years later, his ex-wife, Anne McDonnell, sold the estate and it was divided into a gated enclave of 40 homes, known as Fordune.
At 21 Fordune Drive, which was built in 2000, a dramatic front door opens into a space designed by Sanchez & Coleman, the interior design firm founded by the famed fashion designer and architect Angel Sanchez and the interior designer Christopher Coleman, who implemented a mix of geometric shapes, clean lines, bold colors and warm undertones. Floor to ceiling windows overlook the manicured grounds.
