A traditional compound sold in Remsenburg for $400,000 over the asking price after a bidding war, driving the final sale price up to $4.9 million — which might just be an inland record for the hamlet.
At 120 and 122 South Country Road, the compound is 2.5 acres with a six-bedroom main house plus a guest cottage, an all-weather north-south oriented tennis and basketball court, a heated gunite pool and a 350-square-foot pool house.
The 6,150-square-foot main house’s grand entrance has a staircase centered on a dual sitting room. The living room with 20-foot cathedral ceilings has a floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace and access to the dining room, kitchen and “saloon,” according to the listing. Four of the bedrooms are en suite. The primary bedroom has a sitting area, walk-in closets and a balcony plus a Jacuzzi and steam shower in the attached bathroom.
Above the 1.5-car garage is a finished loft space with a full bathroom, and the house has a full basement for storage.
A few steps outside is a gas firepit and seating set inside a low hedge.
A 1,050-square-foot guest house offers an additional three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living and dining room with a wood-burning fireplace, a screened-in porch and a deck.
Lauren Spiegel of Douglas Elliman had the listing.
“This property was so unique and under the radar due to its Remsenburg location,” Spiegel said. “When it was eventually recognized, I had been working with a buyer who was negotiating at a traditional pace, and before contracts were executed, another buyer became interested and decided to submit an offer. This fueled a fast-paced bidding war, surging the price north of ask and eventually trading at $4.9 million.
“The lack of inventory, which in my opinion is still evident in the luxury market, caused this sale to come to fruition, coupled with the uniqueness of the property and existing accessory structures,” she continued.
Hamptons buyers have been increasingly drawn west of the Shinnecock Canal since the pandemic boom has priced so many out of other enclaves further east, Spiegel added, noting that Remsenburg has become the new hot spot. “Buyers are discovering that it offers so much more, for a little bit less!” she said.
The home was first listed back on November 5, 2021.
The deal closed on August 3 this year, according to The Real Estate Report Inc., which identified the sellers as Steven and Shevaun Selvin and the new owners as Jonathan Kellner and Ana Wheatcroft.
