Mar 3 The Great Gatsby Meets Gaudí at This Historic Gold Coast Estate

This property is on the market for $45,000,000, co-listed with Ryan Serhant and Rachel King of Serhant and Stephanie Berkin and Robert Barr of R New York.

King’s Landing is an iconic Gold Coast estate that looks straight out of The Great Gatsby, while its decorative interiors belong in a Gaudí fever dream.

The palatial property was built in 1928 and inspired by the design of a Hotel de Ville in Normandy.

Its illuminated fountains and statues, said to be inspired by the Peterhof Grand Palace in St. Petersburg—the “Russian Versailles”— are the legacy of its most illustrious owner, Russian-born former New York cab driver turned real estate mogul, Tamir Sapir.

Inside, the palatial property features interiors that seem inspired by the freeform style of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí with its next level opulence and generous use of marble, onyx, agate, lapis, and malachite used throughout on mosaic walls and floors.

There are 18 bedrooms, 28 bathrooms and 60,000 square feet of interior space across the property, which includes 3 separate estate homes on the 8 acre waterfront lot, named after its striking views across the Long Island Sound to the Throgs Neck, Robert F. Kennedy, and Bronx-Whitestone Bridges, and the Manhattan skyline.

The deep water dock can accommodate a 200-foot mega yacht and the estate comes with a tennis court, lazy river, multiple gardens, and a 100-foot swimming pool hot tub.

Amenities include an indoor pool and spa featuring elaborate oceanic motifs, a wine vault, a casino, and a screening room. There’s also an indoor racquetball court, a bowling alley, a shooting range, a hair salon, and a Greek temple-style 2-story dollhouse.

Only 24 miles from Manhattan, King’s Landing is a truly spectacular Gold Coast estate in King’s Point, Long Island.
