In the Hamptons, where many houses have cedar shingles and gabled roofs, a new estate in Water Mill is doing something different.
The home, located at 200 Rose Hill Road, is a 19,000-square-foot modern house by the water, and it’s on the market for $32 million. The high-end home market seems to be picking up, with sales over $20 million doubling since last year.

Moscow Development Trust bought the gated estate not too long ago, and it’s being sold with all the furniture included. Vince Horcasitas from Saunders & Associates has the exclusive listing.
What makes this house special isn’t just how big it is, but how it’s built.
Instead of the usual wood frame, this house has a cast-concrete and steel shell – which isn’t something you see every day in the Hamptons. It’s made to hold up against winds of up to 200 miles per hour.
Big glass walls make the place feel less industrial. In the main living areas, there are twelve-foot-tall sliding doors that face west and open to a heated pool and spa. Beyond that, there’s a sunken tennis court. The materials used are both strong and stylish.

In total, there are ten bedrooms, 13 full bathrooms, and two half-bathrooms. There’s also a cinema with stadium seating, a wine room with glass walls, and a large gym – all with easy access to the pool area. An elevator goes to a rooftop deck where you can see the farm area and Mecox Bay.
“No one in the Hamptons is building at this structural level,” said Horcasitas. “The concrete and steel construction, combined with this level of finish, sets a new benchmark for Hamptons estates.”
This house shows a change in what people may want in terms of construction in the Hamptons. Buyers spending more than $20 million are now prioritizing strong construction and move-in readiness over just location or size. With waterfront properties facing climate issues, building methods that used to seem like overkill are now becoming more popular with buyers.
