While this Amagansett windmill was built in the 1800s, its most memorable moment in history came in the summer of 1957. That’s when newlyweds Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller rented the whimsical, remote home as a retreat away from the prying eyes of the press. Small but mighty, the 1,300-square-foot dwelling was the perfect hideaway for the pair, and someone can own this rare piece of real estate for $11.498 million.
Sprawling over five tree-filled acres, the property is utterly tranquil and green. While you won’t find a pool, you’ll get tons of space where you could install one and pastures and fields for wandering. It seems Monroe and Miller liked that aspect, taking now-iconic photos on the land. The actress wore a sky blue, polka dot dress and looked happy and at ease in the Hamptons countryside.
Inside, the historic windmill’s spaces have a similar feel. Inviting and natural, nothing about them is flashy or unapproachable, and that’s what makes it all so charming. With just two light-filled bedrooms and a few cozy living areas, it’s an ideal setting for creativity or some quiet time away. Craving room for more people and more amenities? A buyer can develop and build up to 20,000+ square feet on the property.
Bobby Rosenbaum of Douglas Elliman has the famous listing located at 64 Deep Lane, which has been on and off the market for years now.
