A rare Hamptons opportunity to live in a secluded, published work of modern art, in a hidden private enclave yet minutes from three of the most coveted East End villages. "SkyBox," the award-winning Water Mill creation of world-renowned 1100 Architect, is a hillside sculpture floating effortlessly on 13 acres of the highest elevation anywhere in eastern Long Island, affording 360-degree views of lush farmland, the polo fields and the Atlantic Ocean.
The main house has four bedrooms & four and one half bathrooms, over three levels of carefully considered details and views from every window, plus a separate 3-bedroom guest house and artist studio also by 1100 Architect. The compound, with potential opportunity for subdivision over two separate parcels, 1052 & 988 Noyac Path, also includes a sculptural pool pavilion and a professional clay tennis court that seem to emerge from their natural surroundings. SkyBox refers directly to the Hamptons' history as a retreat for artists and creatives of all kinds. Now you can be one of them.
SkyBox spreads out over two floors plus a foyer level, each floor becoming more lavish as you ascend towards the crowning jewel of the rooftop deck. The entry foyer impresses with curved architectural elements, and this floor also encompasses a sophisticated thousand-bottle wine room with integrated tasting table plus laundry and a windowed flex space for a potential gym/4th bedroom. The bedroom level has a spacious primary suite with a separate dressing area and steam spa shower. There is a light-filled landing with a fabulous gallery lounge/media den, plus two spacious ensuite guest bedrooms, currently being used as art studio spaces. This floor is wrapped in an ingenious exterior fiberglass screening, filtering the light gorgeously and allowing for privacy.
The floating staircase takes you up to a truly stunning upper living level, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows providing treetop sky & water views in every direction. Motorized shades allow for privacy, and the central atrium provides dramatic interest, bringing in natural light from above to an array of open living spaces: a conversation den, the Sculpture Great Room and an artist studio/dining room. The open kitchen with breakfast nook has built-in cabinetry & luxury appliances. A spiral atrium stair is your portal to the rooftop deck, the ultimate feature of Skybox, with unbelievable panoramic ocean views, a built-in wet bar, and 560 square feet of entertaining space.
The separate guest house, known as "The Modern Treehouse," is ingeniously cantilevered to take advantage of both light and views. It includes a spacious primary suite with treetop vistas, two guest bedrooms and an eat-in kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances. There is also a finished artist's studio on the lower level, with a full bath and its own separate entrance. The Modern Treehouse is on its own three acre parcel with the ability to expand significantly.
Other areas of the property include the masterful pool pavilion, also designed by 1100 Architect, beautifully incorporating warm natural wood with the steel pergola and 15x50 heated Gunite infinity pool and separate spa, evoking a timeless feel of California modernism. There is a chic full pool bath here as well as a separate cabana lounge, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and another dining space. Just beyond the pavilion lies the Har-Tru tennis court with courtside lounge, and a freestanding two-car garage.
All of this is enveloped by 13 acres of green in a landscape totally unique to the East End, yet completely central to everything in the Hamptons universe. Living at SkyBox is like living in a breathtaking work of modern art, rarely available but now it can be yours.
