The expansive Linden Estate in Southampton NY is back again in the market for $69.95 million. It was seen in the co-listing of Sotheby’s International Realty [Harald Grant] and Corcoran [Tim Davis]. There is a rumor that this historic home was sold to Jim Clark [founder of Netscape] some years ago when the property listed for $49 million stayed on the market for 4 years. Haute Living Magazine had also covered the home tour journey by Clark and his wife but surprisingly the deal was not closed. After a year, the home once again was listed for sale at $45 million.
Juergen and Beck Friedrich still own the Linden Estate in Southampton NY but they transferred it into a holding company. They bought the estate in 2002 for approximately $8.5 million. They listed it for sale in 2008 for $ 60 million but could not sell it. Therefore, they rented the property at $850,000 per month, which popped back for sale for $45 million in 2013. The history of this Linden Estate is interesting and can become a dream home for some affluent and wealthy investors.
Till today, people can experience the grandeur of architect Atterbury’s designing in preserved authentic details even after the entire property is renovated to its original magnificence. The 10-acre property resides on 160 Ox Pasture Road located in the core of the Estate Section. The community that surrounds the 18,000 sq. feet home is affluent and wealthy. The landscaping by Frederick Law Olmsted is incredible. The main residence size and the array of unbelievable amenities like the pool house greenhouse are unparalleled. The ancient-style home was designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, who had an 80-acre family estate in Shinnecock Hills, which is close to the Estate Section. He specialized in designing summer homes for wealthy families on Long Island.
His designing skills are evident in Linden Estate in Southampton NY featuring a grand hall leading towards the main living room highlighting coffered ceilings and lead-glass doors offering a spectacular view of the large green trees surrounding the estate. There are rose gardens, flowering shrubs, and evergreen perimeters. The library features original oak walls and manually engraved ornamental plaster ceilings.
