Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Mecox Bay with nearly 200' on Channel Pond, a modern behemoth, sprawling across 3 glorious pondfront acres with its own dock and tennis, reimagines the standard of perfection for a luxury waterfront estate. A brilliant collaboration has resulted in one of Water Mill's ultimate oceanside properties from the combined vision and execution of renowned architects, Barnes Coy, masterful builder Sagewood Construction and the ingenious interior architecture and design of Italy's Massimo Castagna. With Mecox Bay at your back, the journey begins as you enter the gates to this 11,000 SF, 9 bedroom sanctuary that spans 4 separate levels and includes almost 5,000 SF of additional exterior living space. Architect Chris Coy muses: "The idea of the house is to take advantage of what this extraordinary site has to offer, with a program organized around experiencing views as one moves through the spaces. The palette of materials, all maintenance free, is very simple: architectural concrete, board-formed concrete, stucco, and padouk wood used both as exterior siding and interior paneling in the entry." Indeed, waterfront vistas are evident from nearly every room each offering retractable walls of glass that highlight the varied liquid backdrop dotted with undulating dunescape. A dramatic stone wall, embracing a gas fireplace, informs the main living space that includes a dining room, an office/ media room and two powder rooms. Pocket doors open to the sleek kitchen elegantly appointed with quartzite countertops, matte lacquer cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances by Gaggenau, a butler's pantry and convenient access to the outdoor dining area with built-in Lynx grill.
