A Hamptons Legacy
Between Ocean & Pond
Nestled among the dunes between the Atlantic Ocean
and Georgica Pond lies one of the Hamptons’ most irreplaceable residential compounds.
Introduction
On 8.43 acres above Georgica Pond, the residence has been kept by four hands across thirteen decades — Sedgwick, Trippe, Klein, and, in 2024, Bellwether.
Light Across the Volume
Light moves through the whole residence, a glass catwalk over the double-height living room, ocean-facing doors opening room to room. Old architecture, new gesture, the same air.
An Irreplaceable Compound
Where the Atlantic’s roar meets the serenity of Georgica Pond lies an extraordinary 8+ acre compound that is less a residence and more a piece of American history. Carefully restored and reimagined by Bellwether Architects and enhanced by the refined interiors of Tristan Auer, the estate seamlessly blends timeless architectural integrity with contemporary sophistication.
A masterfully reconstructed 8,865-square-foot main residence anchors the property, which includes a rare 1.89-acre buildable oceanfront parcel and a one-of-a-kind legacy boathouse on the pond. Together, the Compound stretches more than 500 feet of direct Atlantic frontage.
Yet the true measure lies in what endures — a century of thoughtful stewardship that has preserved the estate’s essential character while safeguarding its extraordinary sense of place. The result is one of the Hamptons’ most remarkable waterfront estates.
Timeline
A Chapter of
American History
Four generations of stewardship have shaped this estate. Each brought their own vision while respecting what came before.
1891 Sedgwick
The original estate was built during the Gilded Age when East Hampton was becoming the preferred refuge of New York’s most prominent families. The Sedgwick name carried weight in American letters and society.
1935 Juan Trippe
The founder of Pan American Airways acquired the property at the height of aviation’s golden age. He understood the value of a private sanctuary removed from the demands of building an empire.
1981 Calvin Klein
The designer and his wife Kelly brought their aesthetic sensibility to the estate, refining the interiors while maintaining the integrity of the original architecture and grounds.
2024 Restoration
A comprehensive restoration by Bellwether Architects and interior designer Tristan Auer honored the estate’s lineage while introducing
modern systems and contemporary comfort without
compromising its essential character.
