The Wainscott home of Thomas Gilbert Sr.—the hedge fund manager who was shot and killed on January 4 in Manhattan, a murder of which his son, Thomas Gilbert Jr., has been accused—has been on the market for $11.5 million at least since December.

At 8 Georgica Association Road, the five-bedroom, four-bath, 3,800-square-foot home is on 2.5 acres overlooking an 18-acre reserve, according to listings with Zillow and Douglas Elliman.

The residence is in the exclusive Georgica Association, whose members have tennis privileges, an ocean beach club with a lifeguard, and access to Georgica Pond, the listing notes. The residence also has a heated pool.

An article in Friday’s New York Times reported that Mr. Gilbert, who owned a hedge fund called Wainscott Capital Partners, had been in the process of selling the family’s second home as part of an effort to downsize. That effort also included moving from a brownstone on the Upper East Side to the Beekman Place apartment where he was found dead of a gunshot wound.

Zillow’s website said the home had been listed with Douglas Elliman since December 11, 2014.

Previously listed with Brown Harris Stevens, the property has been on the market since at least December 2, when Curbed Hamptons featured it in its “Pricespotter” slot.

The East Hampton Town tax assessor’s office’s final tax rolls list Mr. Gilbert and Shelley Gilbert as the property owners of 8 Georgica Association Road.
