Location: Kings Point, New York
Price: $45 million
This “Great Gatsby”-style 8-acre compound on Long Island’s North Shore offers a stately five-story main house that dates to 1928 and two auxiliary buildings for entertaining, staff and guests, with a total of 60,000 square feet of interior space. That’s more square footage than the White House..
“There are estates, but there is nothing quite like this,” said listing agent Ryan Serhant, of Serhant. Known as Kings Landing, the home in Kings Point “evokes the splendor of the 1920s, while offering every imaginable luxurious modern amenity and architectural significance like no other–both inside and out,” he said.

Other architectural and design details include oversized windows that face out to the landscaped grounds, elaborate stained-glass ceilings, lots of mosaic tiling, a kitchen with commercial-grade appliances, a therapy room clad in malachite and marble sourced directly from quarries in Italy.
The current owner has had the property since 2013, said Serhant, a star of Bravo’s television series “Million Dollar Listing New York.” The late Tamir Sapir, a real estate developer and investor, owned the estate in the 1990s.
“Kings Point is where F. Scott Fitzgerald once lived and the neighborhood that inspired the Great Gatsby’s West Egg,” the fictional Gold Coast community modeled after Great Neck, New York, he said. “Today, it is still home to the rich and famous with many grand estates.”
