Colossal waterfront Hamptons megamansion lists for $101 million

If you’ve ever dreamt of owning your own slice of the Hamptons in the US, this is your lucky day. But you’ll need some mighty deep pockets.

Fancy a shack on the coast to while away your days in?

If you have a spare $101 million (you may need to fish around in the couch cushions to rustle it up) this estate in New York’s famous Hamptons could be yours.

The property in Water Mill at the eastern end of Long Island has been listed, priced at $US72 million ($A101 million), the New York Postreports.

“Brought to market for the first time ever, 71 Cobb Lane is one of the most unique properties in all of the Hamptons,” Hedgerow Exclusive Properties co-founder Preston Kaye said.

“Set on over 9 acres (3.6 hectares), this waterfront estate is located on its own private peninsula and has direct southern views of the ocean,” Mr Kaye told The Post. “Rarely does a home of this size and scale exist on the water, let alone come to market in the Hamptons.”

The main house, designed by architect Barnes Coy, measures more than 1580sq m and includes 21 bedrooms, multiple kitchens, a tennis court, a waterside pool, a private dock into Mecox Bay and almost 1km of private shoreline.

There are 16 full bathrooms and four half bathrooms spread over the existing dwelling’s two levels, which have been “meticulously maintained and continuously updated over the past two decades,” according to the listing. The multiple living areas all look out onto the bay and feature large windows with trim detailing. The eat-in kitchen has a 10-person breakfast area and there’s also a formal dining room for eating and entertaining.

Of the 21 bedrooms, 15 have ensuites. There are also multiple staff quarters – a studio, a two-bedroom apartment and a three-bedroom suite.

Outside, the grounds feature a tennis court, tennis house, a basketball court, a saltwater pool and spa, and a two-level pool house outfitted with a commercial kitchen, gym, sauna, arcade and a poolside deck with dining area. A landscaped walkway leads to the water and private dock, and there is an attached garage with room for eight cars.

While the home has never been on the open market before, last year it was part of an over 8-hectare property off-market sale that represented the region’s biggest residential sale of 2021, Mansion Global reported.

“The property was the crown jewel of a family compound that was created over a 20-year period,” Mr Kaye told the publication.

“The new buyer saw this as an opportunity to obtain both a waterfront and agricultural compound, with the intention to spin off the largest of the four parcels.”
