This extensive 47-acre waterfront estate on Long Island is being offered at a reduced price of $25 million. Named Sassafras, this grand Tudor-style residence features 20,000 square feet of luxurious living space and was originally listed for $60 million back in 2007. According to the listing, the current owner creatively designed the residence as a tribute to the renowned British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, blending traditional Tudor elements with Southeast England’s architectural styles into a timeless creation. Furthermore, the estate gained some fame when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt rented it in 2009 while Jolie was shooting the film Salt. The main residence boasts 25 rooms, which include a spectacular entryway with a soaring 48-foot cathedral ceiling, a great hall, a study, and a formal dining room that opens to a wraparound terrace offering stunning water views. Other features include an impressive living room with a grand fireplace, 8 bedrooms, as well as 8 full baths and 4 half baths. The master suite has sweeping views that stretch 120 degrees over Long Island Sound and into Connecticut. The estate also includes two guest houses, each around 5,500 square feet, a charming log cabin “tea house” with breathtaking ocean views, a tennis court, and a beach cabana complete with a full kitchen and deck. The lush grounds feature beautiful specimen gardens, a fitness path, a private beach with its own pier capable of accommodating three jet skis, an 80-foot motor yacht, a 24-foot sailboat, a 30-foot speedboat, and two maintenance vessels with three additional moorings. Additionally, there is a sizable 30-foot x 60-foot swimming pool, along with a gazebo that features a bar and hot tub. Sassafras is currently available for $25 million through Laffey Real Estate.
