The fashion designer is selling the oceanfront property in Sagaponack.
Fashion designer Elie Tahari is selling his oceanfront estate in the Hamptons for $45 million. It's right on the beach and the house incorporates a striking, century-old barn. Scroll down for a look at the property.
The 4,500-square-foot house sits on two-and-a-half acres in Sagaponack.
Here's the Sotheby's International Realty listing.
It includes 250 feet of beach frontage.
It includes original wooden beams and new roll-up glass doors.
The master bedroom suite encompasses the entire second floor.
It includes an oceanfront balcony.
There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms in total.
Outside, there's a 60-foot heated lap pool.
The grounds also include a dining pergola.
Tahari tells Town & Country that he's selling the house now because he's been focused on his business.
"The fashion industry is going through tumultuous times, and for the last few years I have dedicated myself to revitalizing our brand," Tahari says. "It's a 365-day-a-year commitment, and sadly I haven't been out to Sagaponack once. Perhaps it's time for another owner to love Crestview as my family has for so many years."
According to the listing, plans to build an addition that would result in a 10,000-square-foot home have been already been approved by the village zoning board.
The house sits on a crest, hence Tahari's name for it: Crestview.
When asked what he will miss most about it, he says, "the simple answer is 'everything.' My family and I have had wonderful times there. My fondest memory will be all of us cuddling under a blanket around a campfire on the beach at sundown on a chilly summer evening."
It's listed for $44.995 million.
The house is also available for rent from Memorial Day to Labor Day for $1 million, but listing agent Keith Green says Tahari would rather sell.
