Photographer Richard Imrie asks $4.9M for East Quogue home
A rock 'n' roll photographer and his wife, who co-founded a 'slow fashion' lifestyle brand with their daughters, have listed their East Quogue farmhouse and adjacent reserve for $4.9 million. Richard Imrie has photographed the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, James Taylor, David Bowie and Rod Stewart — his work has graced many album covers — while his wife Pippa co-founded Imrie, which is now based in Hawaii. Pre-COVID, the brand also had a presence in the Hamptons and St. Barts. Their twin-parcel compound is in East Quogue, a hamlet of Southampton, at 140 and 144 Damascus Road. The area is now known as 'the up-and-coming Brooklyn of the Hamptons,' said listing broker Palmer Gaget, of Douglas Elliman.

Rise Media The property, known as Genesis Farm, features a charming 3,666-square-foot farmhouse built around 25 years ago on just under an acre that's adjacent to a 5-acre agricultural reserve. The reserve was 'like a jungle when we bought it. It took a while to tame it, plant it and till it,' Imrie said. Advertisement There's also a barn with a loft space, but no bath, that once served as a photography studio and also as a magical place to host guests. 'It was a nice little studio, for overflow from the house, and a nice place to have parties. Now we sort old photographs there,' Imrie added. 'But it was a great place to have dinner parties.' 12 Wood beams even grace the bedrooms. Rise Media Advertisement 12 A home office space.

Both parcels were purchased, separately, for around $900,000 starting around 25 years ago, Richard said, adding that it was the 'going rate at the time.' They tore down a ranch house, kept the footprint and built a two-story farmhouse with oak trucked in from one of Pennsylvania's Amish communities — where Richard's son 'had some contacts.' The farmhouse comes with four bedrooms and three and a half baths. Advertisement Design details inside the farmhouse include exposed beams, wide-plank wood floors, high ceilings and a classic, white-washed aesthetic. There's a guest bedroom suite on the main floor, with additional bedrooms above. The kitchen and living room feature vaulted ceilings. There's also a cozy fireplace — and plenty of room for family gatherings — including space for 11 grandchildren. 'It can get chaotic. I like to keep a dog-free and child-free living room. But it doesn't always happen,' Richard said.

Michael Bloomberg bought his daughter a $4M Hamptons home
It's been a big week for Georgina Bloomberg — and she has so much more to come. Not only did the 41-year-old equestrian daughter of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg take to Instagram late last week to share news of her near-term pregnancy, but she also just became the new owner of an East End home. Indeed, she's the secret owner of a Hamptons waterfront residence located just minutes from her father's palatial estate, sources told Gimme Shelter exclusively.

The May 30 beach house purchase comes as the billionaire heiress — also an animal rights activist and philanthropist — and her longtime love, finance whiz Justin Waterman, are about to become parents together for the first time. Advertisement '2 week countdown begins today. I cannot wait to meet you baby girl,' Bloomberg told her 100,000 Instagram followers. Bloomberg also shares a child, Justin — born in 2013 — with her former love Ramero Quintana, an Argentine Olympic show jumping rider. 16 Bloomberg is an accomplished equestrian.

Rise Media The new home is on Cold Point Road in Southampton and comes with 100 feet on the water. It was last asking $4.29 million and went into contract quickly — closing for $4 million, according to records. It was an all-cash deal, sources said. Designed by acclaimed local architect John David Rose, the home overlooks Cold Spring Pond and Peconic Bay beach. The sale sets a new pricing benchmark for the Cold Spring Point Beach Community.

And if Bloomberg doesn't feel like meandering over to her dad's estate, her home has access to community tennis courts, as well as pickleball and basketball courts, along with beach access. But she can still bring the kids to see grandpa — and quite easily, too. 16 A screened-in sitting room looks to wide views. Rise Media 16 There's also space for patio seating.

It was built in 1910, spans a massive 35 acres, and is adjacent to the National Golf Links of America in Shinnecock Hills, which has hosted many US Opens. Michael Bloomberg, a member of the club, plays there regularly. The size of Michael Bloomberg's estate makes his daughter's new home seem relatively tiny by comparison. Built in 2012, her two-story home is still a very roomy 3,000 square feet. Advertisement It features four bedrooms and 4.5 baths, and sits on one third of an acre. The home's open floor plan and large windows showcase bay and pond views 'from every room,' according to the listing. It all opens to a great room with a stone fireplace — and leads to a chef's kitchen, a butler's pantry and a dining area. The second floor features the primary suite with a covered porch ideal for morning coffee at sunrise. There's an additional 760 square feet of storage space in the attic. The listing rep was Douglas Elliman's Brenda Giufurta, who declined to comment.

Designer-owned estate in Water Mill hits market for $6.5M — and it comes with an unexpected bonus
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. 16 A fully furnished, designer-owned estate in Water Mill is hitting the market for $6.5 million. Rise Media 16 The home comes with an unexpected bonus: a restored, vintage 1971 Land Rover Series included in the sale. Holland PR 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. 16 Located at 39 Old Country Road, the turnkey property spans over an acre. Rise Media 16 The residence offers 7,000 square feet of living space. Rise Media 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. 16 The chic traditional home boasts sun-drenched interiors across three levels. Rise Media 16 The sleek kitchen. Rise Media 16 The dining room. Rise Media 16 The top level hallway. Rise Media 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. 16 A bonus room. Rise Media 16 One of six bedrooms. Rise Media 16 A second bedroom. Rise Media 16 A third bedroom. Rise Media 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. 16 One of 5.5 bathrooms. Rise Media 16 An entertainment room. Rise Media 16 The 44-foot heated Gunite pool. Rise Media 16 A Har-Tru tennis court. Rise Media 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.
