Secreted within a hidden, private Hamptons enclave, minutes from three of the most coveted East End villages, discover "SkyBox": a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in a secluded, published work of modern art, an artist compound like no other. This award-winning Water Mill creation, by the world-renowned team at 1100 Architect, is a hillside sculpture floating effortlessly on 16 acres of the highest elevation anywhere in eastern Long Island, affording 360-degree views of lush farmland, the polo fields and the Atlantic Ocean. The property includes 3 stunning residences, each on its own separate parcel, with a total of 9 bedrooms and 10 baths: the main house, known as SkyBox, with 4 bedroom suites over three levels of carefully considered details and views from every window, plus a separate 3-bedroom guest house/artist studio (The Modern Treehouse) and an additional one-bedroom guest residence (The Glass House), also by 1100 Architect. The compound, with potential opportunity for subdivision & development over three separate lots, also includes a sculptural pool pavilion and a professional clay tennis court that seem to emerge from their natural surroundings. SkyBox, with all its sylvan wonder and jaw-dropping views, refers directly to the Hamptons' history as a retreat for artists and creatives of all kinds. Now you can be one of them. The SkyBox main house spreads out over two floors plus a foyer level, each floor becoming more lavish as you ascend towards the crowning jewel of the rooftop deck. The entry impresses with curved architectural elements, and this floor also encompasses a sophisticated thousand-bottle wine room with integrated tasting table plus laundry and a windowed flex space for a potential gym/4th bedroom. The bedroom level has a spacious primary suite with a separate dressing area and steam spa shower. There is a light-filled landing with a fabulous gallery lounge/media den, plus two spacious ensuite guest bedrooms, currently being used as art studio spaces. This floor is wrapped in an ingenious exterior fiberglass screening, filtering the light gorgeously. The floating staircase takes you up to a truly stunning upper living level, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows with motorized sun shades; there are treetop sky & water views in every direction. The central atrium provides dramatic interest, leading to a conversation den, the Sculpture Great Room and an artist studio/dining room. The open kitchen with breakfast nook has built-in cabinetry & luxury appliances. A spiral atrium stair is your portal to the rooftop deck, the ultimate feature of Skybox, with unbelievable panoramic ocean views, a built-in wet bar, and 560 square feet of entertaining space. The separate 3-bedroom guest house, known as "The Modern Treehouse," is cantilevered to take advantage of both light and views. It includes a spacious primary suite with treetop vistas, two guest bedrooms, eat-in kitchen & finished artist's studio/guest quarters with full bath and separate entrance, all on its own three acre parcel with expansion potential. The second accessory structure, known as "The Glass House," is a one-bedroom glass-walled residence with kitchenette & patio on its own shy 3 acre parcel. Expansion is possible here as well. Other areas of the property include the masterful pool pavilion, also designed by 1100 Architect, beautifully incorporating warm wood with the steel pergola and 15x50 heated Gunite infinity pool and separate spa, evoking a timeless feel of California modernism. There is a chic full pool bath here as well as a separate cabana lounge, outdoor kitchen, & fire pit. Just beyond lies the Har-Tru tennis court with courtside lounge, and a freestanding two-car garage. All of this is enveloped by 16 acres of green in a landscape totally unique to the East End, yet completely central to everything in the Hamptons universe. Living at SkyBox is like living in a breathtaking work of modern art: now it can be yours. |
