The Hamptons’ Most Private Retreat Is This $48 Million Oceanfront Home

An oceanfront property in Montauk that offers the ultimate in privacy is on the market for $48 million. Offered by Christie’s International Real Estate, the property includes over 36 acres of private reserve.

A heart-inspired creation by architect Frank Hollenbeck, the residence was based on a Chinese tea house with its Asian influenced blue tiled roof.

The property is widely considered to be one of the most private sites in the Hamptons. It features wooded hills and nature paths through a private reserve leading to pristine ocean beaches and is sited high on a bluff to capture commanding views of the Atlantic Ocean.

A gated private driveway meanders through the private and scenic reserve leading to an ultra-modern 7,000 square foot residence with three levels.

The retreat has five generous bedrooms, four bathrooms, a state-of-the-art movie theater, elevator, triangular skylights, a Japanese tile roof, four gas fireplaces, 15 zone radiant heat including the garage, six separate central air zones with a dehumidification system, and an automatic generator.

Fine materials, finishes and craftsmanship are seen throughout the sleek ultra-modern home such as Honduran mahogany, Norwegian quartz counter tops and Italian Carerra marble.

The home was built with steel reinforcements capable of withstanding 150 mile winds.

A wide sandy beach offers the best surf casting with no public access for miles affording tranquility and privacy while the luxurious modern home has been specially sited to take advantage of dramatic sunrise and sunset views.

The property includes a two-acre pond which forms a habitat for local flora and fauna and is surrounded by beautiful gardens and scenic pastures. At the ocean’s edge, two naturally formed 100′ jetties act as natural barriers to passing storms.
