10 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Set on Georgica Pond with nearly a quarter-mile of pristine waterfront, Briar Patch combines two adjacent lots to create a sprawling 11.2-acre compound, boasting 13, 800 square feet of luxurious living space. This unparalleled East Hampton estate offers a unique opportunity for a comprehensive and private retreat. The estate's southwestern-facing outdoor spaces provide stunning sunset views over Georgica Pond, with the Atlantic Ocean visible in the distance. The main residence, built in 1931, showcases a blend of old-world charm and sophisticated design. Spanning six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and extensive living and entertaining areas, the home's architecture and floorplan were created with grand-scale entertaining in mind. French doors lead to outdoor patios, perfect for alfresco dining with panoramic views of the pond and grounds. The guest house, constructed in 1990 by renowned architect Peter Marino, sits on 3.7 acres and offers four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one half-bath. This modern yet timeless retreat includes a full kitchen, ensuite bedrooms, a powder room, and a living room with coffered ceilings and a fireplace. The estate also features a heated gunite pool and spa located between the two main homes. Nature trails meander through the property's mature trees and natural landscaping, leading to a private pond. Residents can sail or kayak across the pond to reach the ocean. Originally constructed by Arthur C. Jackson in 1931, the main residence was designed by the architect responsible for the New York Public Library plans and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's childhood home, Lasata. In 1990, Peter Marino not only built the guest house but also enhanced the main residence, integrating the compound's design elements seamlessly. Located south of the highway on the sought-after Briar Patch Road, this estate is just a short drive or boat ride from ocean beaches and East Hampton Village's shops and restaurants. Briar Patch stands as a distinguished and private sanctuary, unmatched in its grandeur, history, and seclusion.
