Massive $10 Million Belle Terre Mansion With Private Beach Hits the Market

A palatial waterfront compound on the North Shore of Long Island, NY, has arrived on the market with a price tag just a hair under $10 million, offering the chance to own one of Belle Terre's largest and most dramatic estates.

The property, which has previously appeared on the rental market, is represented by Maida Srdanovic from Compass. 

The nearly 20,000-square-foot residence at 1 Osprey Court is situated on more than 8 acres with approximately 310 feet of private sandy shoreline that lends the home a resortlike feel. The estate is listed for $9,995,000.

Set behind a winding drive and surrounded by mature landscaping, the property commands sweeping 180-degree views across the Long Island Sound.

The compound, which includes a separate guesthouse and tennis court in addition to the sprawling main residence, offers a remarkable sense of privacy but is just minutes from the restaurants, shops, and marinas of nearby Port Jefferson.

The 1990-built home was designed to impress, with 11 bedrooms, more than a dozen bathrooms, multiple kitchens, and an array of formal and casual living spaces. A dramatic double-height foyer and sweeping dual staircase set the tone, while expansive windows frame uninterrupted water views.

But it's the estate's extensive list of amenities that truly elevates it from mansion to compound. Between the detached guesthouse, tennis court, private beach, indoor and outdoor pools, and seemingly endless outdoor entertaining areas, the property functions more like a private waterfront retreat perched atop its craggy New York bluff.

Additional highlights include a fitness center, sauna, elevator, wine cellar, and multiple terraces positioned to take full advantage of the waterfront setting.

Large waterfront estates are not uncommon along Long Island's famed Gold Coast, but parcels combining more than 8 acres, substantial shoreline frontage, and a residence approaching 20,000 square feet are increasingly rare.

According to the listing, the property is described as one of the "most significant offerings on Long Island's North Shore," and is located in the village of Belle Terre, a community long known for its waterfront vistas and high-end estates.
