The beautiful stone Elizabethan manor house facing LI Sound was designed by society architect George Bullard. While exceedingly private most of the public has seen it before: it was used in the 1995 remake of the movie Sabrina (Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond) and it also was seen briefly in the 1998 film, A Perfect Murder, as Gwyneth Paltrow's parent's home.

The property was last sold in late 1998 for just under $10 million. Speculation a few years ago when Billy was rumored to be in talks with the owner (as I recall a wealthy older woman whose late husband made a fortune in investment banking) was that she'd part with the whole island, manor house, other cottages, et al for a price in the $35 million area which was almost unheard of at the time. Today one can only imagine that in the era of $100 million home the price to buy could have risen to well around $50 - 60 million or more.

From Google maps the aforementioned property:
