Beach House From HBO’s ‘Succession’ Back up for Sale Asking $55 Million
3 min
An uber-contemporary waterfront home in the Hamptons, the exclusive pocket of New York’s Long Island beloved by the well-to-do set, has come to the market for $55 million.
The angular and glass-covered house may look familiar to eagle-eyed viewers of HBO’s “Succession.” In season three of the award-winning series, the house starred as the beachfront mansion owned by billionaire investor Josh Aaronson, played by Adrien Brody, and visited by Kendall and Logan Roy.
However, “its celebrity status has relatively little impact,” said Cody Vichinsky, founding partner and president of Bespoke Real Estate, which listed the home earlier this week. “Buyers of such high-end assets are more interested in the nuances that create unique value than in the celebrity factor.”
Luckily, off screen, the house is every bit as lavish as it was portrayed.
Built in 2018 in the hamlet of Wainscott, the property was designed by Barnes Coy Architects.
They designed the roughly 11,000-square-foot house to be broken down “into three smaller pavilions attached by an elongated breezeway, almost as if three smaller beach houses—each with its own distinctive character—had been joined at the hip,” according to the architecture firm’s website.
Each pavilion houses something different. The primary suite is in one; the middle is the communal space; and the third has the remaining five bedrooms.

A particularly distinct feature is in the giant open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, where the home’s jaunty inverted roofline translates inside to an upside-down teak pyramid in the centre of room.
The custom kitchen occupies one end of the space with a statement marble backsplash—which made an appearance in the show. At the other end is a towering stone fireplace—you’ll spot that during the episode, too.
The scale of the space, “with [its] double-height walls of glass that capture the ocean views in one of the most impressive ways we have ever seen, was likely the defining reason why this setting was chosen to be a home on Succession,” Mr. Vichinsky said.
The primary suite has vaulted ceilings, more walls of glass and two bathrooms.
On the lower floor, meanwhile, all the bells and whistles can be found, from a screening room with stadium seating, to a concrete-floored gym and a spa with a steam room, according to Dirt, which first reported the listing.
Outside, the home has a covered deck with an outdoor kitchen and a private path leads straight to the beach.
The house last changed hands in December 2021, when it was snapped up by a limited liability company for $45 million, records with PropertyShark show.
“Oceanfront properties, specifically turn-key oceanfront ones, have become increasingly rare, while the costs and time required to build them have significantly increased,” Mr. Vichinsky added. “This, coupled with the pedigree of the location and architecture, positions this property to continually increase in value.”

New research shows a widening divide across Australia and New Zealand’s property markets, with investors increasingly forced to look beyond traditional strongholds to find real returns.
3 min
By any traditional measure, Australia’s property market should be moving in sync. Instead, it is fragmenting.
New research from MaxCap, led by Head of Research Bruce Wan, paints a picture of a market no longer defined by national trends, but by sharp regional divergence, where performance gaps between cities are widening, and the smartest capital is moving accordingly.
At the top end of the ladder, Perth and southeast Queensland are surging ahead. At the other, Melbourne and Auckland are only just beginning to recover from recent downturns. And sitting squarely in the middle is Sydney, steady but constrained.
The takeaway is clear: the era of relying on headline markets is over.
The rise of the unexpected leaders
Brisbane and the broader southeast Queensland region have emerged as standout performers, driven by population growth, infrastructure investment and a sustained undersupply of housing.
According to the report, housing values in the region have continued to accelerate, supported by long-term tailwinds including the 2032 Olympic Games and a decade of relatively subdued price growth prior.
Perth is telling a similar story, albeit for different reasons. Once heavily tied to commodity cycles, the Western Australian capital is now benefiting from a broader base of economic drivers, including defence spending and sustained resource sector strength.
The result is a housing market that remains one of the strongest in the country, even as price growth begins to ease from its peak.
Sydney holds, but doesn’t lead
For Sydney, the story is more nuanced.
While prices continue to climb and the city remains Australia’s most expensive market, affordability constraints are clearly limiting its pace. Residential growth, while positive, lags behind smaller capitals, and commercial sectors are being held back by softer demand in key industries.
There are, however, signs of momentum building. New infrastructure, including the western Sydney Airport and expanded rail networks, is expected to unlock development opportunities and support future growth, particularly in emerging precincts.
Still, the report positions Sydney firmly in the “middle of the pack”, no longer the automatic frontrunner for investors.
Melbourne’s slow reset
Melbourne, once a consistent performer, has spent recent years recalibrating.
Extended lockdowns, combined with new state property taxes, have weighed heavily on investor sentiment and pricing, particularly across the commercial office sector. Residential values have also underperformed, though for different structural reasons.
Now, there are early signs of recovery.
Improved affordability, population growth and a stabilising economic backdrop are beginning to draw buyers back into the market, with both residential and commercial sectors showing tentative signs of improvement.
Auckland’s turning point
Across the Tasman, Auckland has faced its own challenges, particularly from an outflow of younger workers to Australia, which has dampened demand and stalled price growth.
But here too, the tide appears to be shifting.
A return to positive migration, lower interest rates and policy changes — including the easing of foreign buyer restrictions — are expected to support a gradual recovery, alongside renewed interest from offshore capital.
A market that rewards precision
If there is one unifying theme, it is this: broad-brush strategies no longer work.
MaxCap’s research highlights that the most compelling opportunities are increasingly found outside the traditional powerhouses of Sydney and Melbourne, requiring investors to take a more targeted, locally informed approach.
“Given these persistent performance gaps, there is plentiful scope for alpha returns, just by picking the right locations and market segments,” the report notes.
In other words, success in this market is no longer about being in property — it is about being in the right property, in the right place, at the right time.
And increasingly, that place may not be where you expect.
