“Holly Pond," a Contemporary Custom-built Estate Overlooking Long Island Sound, is being Offered for the first time at U.S. $8,250,000

Centre Island, NY – Holly Pond, an 18+-acre, contemporary waterfront compound perched atop New York’s Centre Island is now being exclusively marketed by Christie’s International Real Estate, the world’s leading luxury real estate network. On the market for the first time in its history, the estate is being offered at U.S. $8,250,000 by exclusive affiliate Piping Rock Associates, Inc.

Looking out directly over Long Island Sound and featuring 500 feet of beachfront, Holly Pond was designed in 1955 by noted architect Benjamin Thompson who incorporated a unique Asian influence into the estate’s features and details.

“This is a spectacular hideaway and an ideal venue for grand-scale entertaining,” said Kathleen Coumou, Senior Vice President of Christie’s International Real Estate. “Holly Pond’s rare waterfront setting and sprawling grounds are coveted attributes – virtually unmatched in the marketplace.”

The showpiece of the property is a three-story main house comprising six bedrooms, six and one half-baths and three fireplaces. Inside, open living areas are complemented by walls of glass that offer sweeping views of the water. An in-ground pool sits adjacent to an impressive pool house which has a large living room, two bedrooms, two baths and a full kitchen. Holly Pond additionally has a caretaker’s cottage, a three-car garage with an apartment, greenhouses, mature plantings and walking paths that lead to the beach.

“This is a one-of-a-kind property and a true rarity on the landscape,” said Patrick Mackay, President of Piping Rock Associates, Inc. “Its designer qualities have been meticulously maintained, making it a ‘must-see’ for prospective buyers.”
