A sprawling waterfront estate in Southampton, New York, has returned to the market for $27.9 million, a 20% discount from its asking price of $35 million last year.
The property includes a two-story main residence and a guest cottage, totaling 13,000 square feet. There are 11 bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms and three half baths, a library, a home office and a chef’s kitchen, according to the listing with Sotheby’s International Realty, posted Thursday.

Encompassing approximately 6.6 acres on a bank of the Atlantic Ocean, it has a 50-foot heated pool, a pool house, ample parking space and room for a tennis court, per the listing.
Listing agents Molly Ferrer and Ritchey Howe said in an email, "6.6 acres with a dock does not come around often, and the 13,000-square foot house with high ceilings is a perfect match with the large scale property acreage. One can boat or kayak to Shinnecock Bay and even the ocean from the dock."
The century-old estate, which was built in 1910 and remodeled in 1998, was first listed for $35 million in March 2016, but was taken off the market after less than a month, listing records show.
The luxury market in the Hamptons has improved greatly since then, according to the latest market report by Douglas Elliman. There were 18 sales priced at $10 million and above in the second quarter of this year, doubling last year’s numbers.

The seller, listed as a limited liability company in public records, could not be immediately reached for comment.
