Long Island, Gold Coast, New York
Coming to auction this July, Swan Manor is one of the most exceptional offerings on Long Island’s storied Gold Coast. Steeped in heritage yet designed for contemporary living, this rare estate was originally envisioned by the renowned architect Stanford White. Set within nine acres of secluded grounds, it comes with sweeping views over the Long Island Sound and unfolds across 22,000 square feet of elegant interiors, spread over three distinct residences.
The main home is both expansive and inviting, hosting 14 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, all thoughtfully arranged to accommodate large families or entertaining at scale. From underfloor heating to hand-finished stonework and a spectacular indoor pool pavilion – complete with spa, sauna and gym – every detail of this home has been crafted with purpose and care.
The grand outdoors reveal lush botanical-style gardens, with softly rolling lawns, a cascading stone waterfall, and a stately bluestone driveway leading to a tennis court. A separate three-bedroom guest house and dedicated staff quarters offer flexibility for family life or hosting with ease.
Residing in the exclusive village of Nissequogue, Swan Manor places you within easy reach of yacht clubs, private golf courses and pristine beaches, just over an hour from Manhattan and even less to the Hamptons. For those seeking the ease of countryside living with all the advantages of city access, this is a legacy home with real substance and enduring appeal.
Siesta Key, Sarasota, Florida
Tucked away in the gated waterfront community of Riegels Landing, this Siesta Key residence offers a refined take on coastal living. With 357 feet of deep-water shoreline and direct access to the Intracoastal, it is a true haven for boaters, complete with mooring for a 50-foot yacht, a floating kayak launch, and illuminated pilings for evening outings.
Inside, the home spans 3,616 square feet of well-considered space, with engineered hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling sliders, and custom millwork lending warmth and structure. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, fitted with Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, generous pantry space, and clever storage throughout. The principal suite opens to a private terrace and includes smart lighting, a sleek bathroom, and illuminated mirrors. Two loft spaces offer quiet corners for work or reading, while the ground level houses a fitness room, wine storage with plumbing, and a spacious garage with built-ins.
The home is built for indoor-outdoor flow, with expansive Shellstone patios wrapping around a saltwater pool and spa, both enhanced by fire and water features and fully remote-controlled. Offered fully furnished, it includes Control4 home automation, whole-house AV, and a backup generator.
Just steps away from Siesta Beach and minutes from Sarasota’s cultural and dining hotspots, this home is well placed for both full-time living and extended stays. Siesta Key Village has a relaxed charm, with open-air restaurants and live music only a short drive away.
On the market for $5.59 million, the property is available via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions, with a $100,000 bidder deposit required.
Bend, Central Oregon
The Bend estate in Central Oregon blends modern self-sufficiency with natural beauty in truly effortless fashion across its eighty private acres. Just 14 miles from downtown Bend, the property offers a sense of retreat without cutting ties to the city’s growing food scene, ski slopes, and outdoor lifestyle.
Reached via a mile-long gated drive, the main residence spans 6,300 square feet and has been designed for comfort and privacy. With the Bureau of Land Management land bordering two sides, there are no nearby neighbours – just sweeping views of the Cascade Mountains and endless sky. Inside, the layout is generous and functional, with two principal suites, en-suite bedrooms, a large open kitchen with pizza oven, and a pool house – all controlled by smart home automation. A Tesla-powered solar system complements the home’s eco-conscious approach, while firepits and warm timber details add a sense of quiet luxury.
The outdoor features are as impressive as the interiors. A lavender field and stocked pond follow the canal, offering space for reflection or morning strolls. For more energetic pursuits, a sand volleyball court, shooting range with lockers, and a 2,100 sq ft gym are all in place, followed by an even more impressive 10,000 sq ft climate-controlled hangar-style shop fit for cars, boats or light aircraft. On-site caretakers manage the estate day to day for effortless upkeep.
Whether as a permanent residence or a private escape, this is a rare offering – a property designed for independence, adventure and connection to nature. Listed at $9.99M, a $100,000 bidder deposit is required ahead of the auction.
