The affluent Hamptons enclave, located on the east end of New York’s Long Island, is renowned for its pristine beaches, lavish estates, exclusive parties, and distinguished residents. Among these notable residents is the well-known Hilton family, who recently listed their exquisite east-end retreat for $14.995 million.
Both Rick and Kathy Hilton are renowned figures in the hospitality and entertainment industries. Now dedicating much of their time to residing on the West Coast of the U.S., the duo is parting ways with their Hamptons haven of 25 years, offering discerning buyers an opportunity to acquire a slice of luxury living in this coveted locale.
Situated on the border of Southampton and Water Mill in a private gated community, the impressive property spans 2.7 acres of meticulously manicured grounds, from lush gardens to rolling lawns. While ensuring serene privacy, the estate also provides easy access to the Atlantic Ocean coastline, with Fowlers and Flying Point beaches just a stone’s throw away.
Designed in the classic Hamptons style, the stunning residence features Dutch rooflines, natural cedar shingles, stately columns, and timeless white trims paired with classic black shutters. The elegance extends into the home’s interior, with all rooms boasting heightened ceilings, spacious proportions, and views across the mature landscaping.
The residence comprises six gracious bedrooms and seven-and-a-half recently renovated bathrooms, including the primary suite, which features a spacious custom walk-in closet and some of the best vantage points across the grounds.
A gourmet kitchen, along with numerous dining and living areas, are ideal for entertaining. Also, three wood-burning fireplaces, a library, and a den cater to more intimate gatherings.
Outside, a dedicated dining area can accommodate even the largest of gatherings, while a gunite pool with a hot tub sits perfectly perched in the center of the home’s rear grounds. A fully finished lower level provides even greater entertainment areas, guest accommodations, and staff quarters. An expansive circular driveway, dedicated carport, and attached three-car garage create an ideal setup for storing any motorized toys.
Whether utilized as a stately primary residence or an idyllic vacation retreat, this magnificent property is a rare find and offers the pinnacle in luxurious coastal living. Currently, Jared Seligman of The Corcoran Group serves as the property’s representative.
