Historic Sagaponack Home Halseycot Sells For $7 Million

Halseycot, an iconic Sagaponack Village home, recently sold for $7 million, and the buyer, according to the New York Post, was film producer Jenno Topping, a Sagaponack native whose family has deep roots there.

The shingle-style house and the 1.4-acre property it sits on at 76 Daniels Lane came on the market in October for $7.95 million. The deal closed on January 3, according to outeast.com

According to the listing, Halseycot, built in 1894, was originally the summer home of Stephen Bolles Halsey — a descendant of Southampton settler Thomas Halsey — and his wife, Adelia VanWyck Vandervoort.

The residence, with a wraparound porch, has six bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a fireplace, a kitchen, a dining room and a living room, totaling 2,346 square feet. A circa 1900 barn on the property is 1,020 square feet, and there are also two one-story outbuildings.

To the north is a 16-acre reserve, and the property itself boasts mature trees and space for expansion. It’s just a half mile from Gibson Beach.

Among Ms. Toppings’ many film credits are executive producer on the 2000 “Charlie’s Angels” film and its sequel and “War for the Planet of the Apes” and producer of 2017 Best Picture nominee “Hidden Figures” and “The Heat.” Her husband is Chris Moore, also a producer, whose most notable credit is “Manchester by the Sea,” which was also a 2017 Best Picture nominee.

Paul Brennan and Martha Gundersen of Douglas Elliman represented both sides of the deal.

The Southampton Town Community Preservation Fund purchased and preserved 12 acres out of 16 that made up the Topping Farm in 2017.
