In a luxury market where sellers are spinning their wheels to stand out, one Hamptons listing is literally throwing in the keys.
In the hamlet of Water Mill, owners of a 7,000 square-foot home are offering a restored 1971 Land Rover Series — beach-ready and included in the $6.5 million asking price, The Post has learned.
Located at 39 Old Country Road, the six-bedroom, 5.5 bathroom traditional property sits on just over an acre in the heart of the Town of Southhampton enclave.
The property, previously listed for around $7 million in October 2023, has resurfaced at a slight discount — and with the addition of the vintage off-roader.
The vehicle is “fully restored and functional,” a representative for the listing told The Post. “No particular reason as to why it’s being included — except for the fact that the seller said go ahead and throw it in.”
Beyond the nostalgic wheels, the home, owned by an unnamed designer and built in 2017, is tailored for luxury living.
The three-level layout opens to sunlit interiors and high-end finishes, anchored by a user-friendly, open-concept floor plan designed to suit both summer vacations and full-time residence.
“What truly sets this property apart is the rare combination of amenities — including a heated Gunite pool and a private Har-Tru tennis court,” said Adam Hofer, who is co-listing the property with Alexander Boriskin and Michael Lorber of Douglas Elliman.
Those amenities extend throughout the grounds: a 44-foot pool built for lazy July afternoons, a professionally designed tennis court, and expansive indoor-outdoor entertaining areas.
The estate, being sold fully furnished, has also seen time on the rental market — most recently fetching as much as $125,000 per month.
While Hamptons buyers are used to turn-key estates, the inclusion of the restored Land Rover adds a touch of flair not typically seen in area listings. The vehicle, known for its rugged styling and cult-like following, underscores the seller’s playful, all-in approach to marketing the home.
Described in marketing materials as “a chic Hamptons traditional,” the home blends architectural charm with modern convenience. “This checks all the boxes for that perfect Hamptons home with all the amenities and a great price,” the listing declared.
In the wider Water Mill market, recent data reveals a complex picture.
While the median list price in April 2025 stood at $5.9 million — up 34.2% year-over-year — sales activity has been uneven, according to data sourced from Redfin.
The median sale price for homes in the area was $8 million in January 2025, marking a 176.7% increase from the previous year. However, homes are taking longer to sell, with an average of 161 days on the market, and many are selling below asking price.
This suggests that while demand for luxury properties remains strong, buyers are becoming more selective, and pricing strategies are crucial for sellers aiming to close deals in this competitive environment.
