Description
RESOLUTELY PRIVATE THREE-RESIDENCE COMPOUND AROUND THE CORNER FROM WORLD-FAMOUS NICK & TONI'S. It's actually hard to believe that this three-residence compound is just a stone's throw from East Hampton village center, with its world-class shopping, dining, and galleries (Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, Zegna, Valentino, Brunello Cucinelli, and more.). This incredible estate was curated over the course of several decades by one of the Hampton's most renowned, and revered landscape architects, Craig Socia, as his own private enclave. Most of his work has always been for the wealthiest of the wealthy, but year after year he invested in creating a personal wonderland that is simultaneously reminiscent of the French countryside, yet perfectly at home in The Hamptons. Like no other property on the East End, this stunning gated cloister of buildings feels more like a small private village or resort in Normandy. Each residence has its own distinct personality, but share a common design sensibility. The "Main House" with its full floor primary suite assures resolute privacy while boldly providing the backdrop for the kind of entertaining that makes The Hamptons....The Hamptons. The "Carriage House," has its own full kitchen and dramatic architectural details that distinguish it as a true one-of-a-kind getaway... the ultimate antidote to the metropolis. The "Guest House," (currently used for staff) is yet again complete with a full kitchen and three more sleeping quarters. The meticulously landscaped entrance and drives know no equal, the stonework is quite literally breathtaking. The highly manicured and serenely private pool grotto, forbidden garden, and movie-set-worthy Potting Shed complete the grounds with theatrical flourish. Depending on how you organize life here, there are a total of eight bedrooms, three kitchens, parlor, great room, gym, office, multiple dining rooms and more. The current owners have spent a small fortune bringing it all up to date for the 21st century and preparing to add a four-car garage, in support of contemporary Hamptons living standards.
