Word came last week that Chili Peppers drummer and Montauk resident Chad Smith was selling his compound on Navy Road, asking $15 million. The property, which includes two lots and four acres, with main and guest house, was supposed to be repped by Jennifer Landey of Sotheby’s in Bridgehampton. However, no actual listing can be found and Landey didn’t return a request for a comment.
Give it away now
So whether or not it’s for sale (maybe it’s a whisper listing), take a look at the property, which overlooks Fort Pond Bay. $15 million strikes us as a bit steep, frankly, though there is also 259 feet of “sandy” beachfront (that beach is not so sandy in our experience, but whatever), and there’s room to possibly moor a 75′ yacht. There’s also a 60′ saltwater pool, fire pit, and an outdoor movie screen. The landscaping, with rolling lawns and organic gardens, were designed by Chris LaGuardia.
The main house offers five bedrooms, 5.5 baths, and 4,750 square feet. Too small to house the rest of the band? There’s also a two-bedroom guest cottage designed by Robert Young Architects.
Nicely done, folks. But we’ll be surprised if it trades for $15 million. (We’ve been wrong before!)
