For anyone who loves the ethereal gardens and ornate, collected interiors of France, but also the traditional style of the Hamptons, this Sagaponack home is a delicious find. Known as Whimsy Farm, and filled with an air of magic and quiet luxury, the residence tucked is utterly magazine worthy and currently listed for $6.995 million.
Whether you fall into the lucky group who can afford this property or are merely checking it out as eye candy, the gated 2.5-acre property doesn’t disappoint. Its grounds are a treasure trove of beauty with fountains, a 75-foot heated gunite pool, meticulously landscaped terraces, and a plethora of lovely plantings. Hydrangeas, lavender, spiraled hedges, and mature trees are all part of the splendor.
Entering the 5,000-square-foot home, you’re first in the original barn structure, which welcomes you with soaring high ceilings, exposed beams, sophisticated floor-to-ceiling windows, curving fireplaces, and hand-painted details on the walls. Nearby, there are two picturesque sunrooms, just waiting for long brunches with friends or afternoons immersed in a new book.
Moving on, the abode’s five bedrooms look as if they could have existed in the 18th or 19th centuries. Canopied beds, art and unique mirrors on the walls, and a mesmerizing mix of textures, fabrics, and patterns create wonderfully dynamic spaces that could inspire your next design project. This elevated, inviting aesthetic as well as the home’s two country kitchens make it easy to imagine figures like Ina Garten or Martha Stewart living here.
