This 6.9 +/- acre estate is bordered on the fourth side by 360 +/- feet of water frontage on Mecox Bay.

The house was the collaboration of the best talents in their respected fields: Katherine McCoy architect, M en at Work builders, Quincy Hammond landscape architect, Daniel Romualdez interior design, Torie Burke wall finishes, and Donald Kaufman colorist. Taking five years to complete, Listowel truly redefines luxurious living in the Hamptons.
