In a notable development within the luxury property market, the coastal estate in New York, owned by hotel heir Rick Hilton and his socialite wife Kathy Hilton, has been placed on the market.
The property, located in the prestigious Southhampton area, is listed for sale at nearly US$15 million, according to the Robb Report.
Rick Hilton, grandson of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton and co-founder of the Hilton & Hyland real estate brokerage, along with Kathy Hilton, known for her role in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and as the mother of Paris Hilton, originally purchased the 2.7-acre estate for around US$2.4 million in 1999.
The estate features a traditional two-storey house that spans about 975sq m offering six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, all of which have been recently renovated.
The property includes a finished basement with spaces for guests and staff, alongside a porte-cochère and a three-car garage.
Dating back to the early ’90s, this gated community residence, once part of the Fordune estate owned by car magnate Henry Ford, boasts a shingle-clad design with three wood-burning fireplaces, blonde hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a library.
Additional luxuries encompass a double-height entry foyer with a curving staircase, formal living and dining rooms, and a gourmet kitchen equipped with an eat-in island bench and top-tier stainless steel appliances.
A luxurious master suite, located on the upper floor, features a walk-in closet, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower.
The outdoor area is equally impressive, presenting a lagoon-style pool with a spa and waterfall, an outdoor dining pavilion, and multiple terraces.
The estate also offers the potential for tennis facilities, subject to approval, and includes deeded access to the nearby Fowlers Beach.
The decision to sell arises from the Hiltons’ decreased use of this vacation home following their relocation to Los Angeles in the 2000s.
While they recently sold a Bel Air mansion for US$25 million, they continue to reside in a historic stone manor in the same area.
The sale is managed by The Corcoran Group’s Jared Seligman, who has not commented on the listing.
