This exquisite Water Mill compound is one of the most unique and tasteful retreats in the Hamptons. Its location, set on a private road abutting a 200+/- acre land preserve in Water Mill, features the ultimate in privacy and serenity in Hamptons equestrian country. Given its bucolic backdrop, it might surprise how conveniently located the home is. It is within walking distance of the Atlantic Golf Club, a short drive to the Bridge Golf Club, the polo grounds of the Hampton Classic, just seven minutes to the nearest beach and less than 12 minutes to all the major hamlets of Southampton.As you approach the property, one is immediately struck by its symmetry, proportion and scale. These timeless elements are hallmarks of the classical school of architecture and they are showcased superlatively across this entire property. Thus, while it is a quantifiably immense property in its total square footage (15,000 +/- sq. ft.) and acreage (5+/- acres) it is so well proportioned that it doesn't feel nearly as vast as it is. At a more granular level, the compound affords three separate structures: a five-bedroom, 10,000 sq. ft. main residence, an oversized 3,000 sq. ft. garage and a two-bedroom guest cottage with a full kitchen - each purposefully positioned across five acres of expansive landscaped and terraced terrain.In line with the exterior, the interiors are equally elegant and thoughtful. The main level is designed for entertainment with grand common spaces such as the living room, library, dining room and kitchen. Each of these spaces is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and french doors, flooding them with natural light and all leading out to the courtyard. The chef's kitchen and pantry come fully equipped with two SubZero's, three dishwashers (Bosch & Fisher and Paykel), a wine cooler and a Bluestar 8-burner industrial stove.With superlative finishes and fixtures, such as precious imported tiling, marble fireplaces and crystal chandeliers as well as the highest degree of interior decoration, it is surprising that the home holds such a generous and amiable temperament. This motif continues to play throughout the second level of the main residence, the five-car garage and the two-bedroom guest cottage and pool. Beyond the current program, there is room for a tennis court and the finishing of the main residence's lower level, as well as the garage's lower level and the expansion of the existing guest house. There is nothing ostentatious about this property, but its confidence and grandeur stand toe to toe with any Hamptons estate.
