Beach House From HBO’s ‘Succession’ Back up for Sale Asking $55 Million

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.”

An architectural jewel of Victoria’s Goulburn Valley, the Noorilim Estate stands as one of Australia’s most extraordinary Italianate mansions.

Legend has it that opera icon Dame Nellie Melba performed in the minstrels’ gallery and current-day hitmaker Tones and I filmed a music video at Noorilim estate. The high profile property has even been the breeding ground for multiple Melbourne Cup winners including 1910 champion, Comedy King, who was laid to rest within the grounds.

In 1998, prominent art dealer and entrepreneur behind Menzies International, the late Rod Menzies and his wife Carolyn, bought Noorilim for $3.325 million and set about restoring the Italianate mansion to its former glory.

Today, the 65ha property in the heart of the Goulburn Valley is on the market for only the third time in the past 50 years via Sean Cussell of Christie’s International Real Estate with a price guide of $15m.

During the Menzies’ ownership, the glamorous country estate was a venue for weddings, concerts, and private events, welcoming a long list of international guests. Chart-topping artist Tones and I filmed the video for her song Bad Child at the estate, and the period property has played its part in numerous films and television series. Singer and actor Ted Hamilton, known for roles in Division 4, Homicide, The Love Boat, M*A*S*H and Hawaii Five-O, was also a regular performer at the address.

Given its stately grandeur, Noorilim was even a successful auction centre for fine art with works by Brett Whiteley, Sidney Nolan and Jeffrey Smart sold under the hammer at the property.

Built in 1879 by celebrated architect James Gall for parliamentarian William Winter-Irving, Noorilim is a prime example of post-Gold Rush prosperity in Victoria. At the time of its construction in the mid to late-1800s, Australia had been labelled one of the richest nations on earth and Melbourne’s monied elite were spilling out of the city looking to build country estates to rival those in Great Britain. The nouveau riche began commissioning lavish ornamental houses shadowing the Gothic, Italianate and Queen Anne designs of Europe.

Noorilim’s facade is a striking example of this “boom style” architecture featuring an asymmetrical tower, ornate balustrades and grand arched loggias that frame sweeping views of the estate’s manicured grounds.

Inside, the vast 1022sq m residence has 5m ceilings and lavish period features, including 15 fireplaces, seven staircases, and intricate Corinthian columns.

At the heart of the mansion its grand hall has Minton tiles imported from England and laid by Italian artisans who were shipped out specifically for the job. There is a turret lookout, a billiard room, 10 bedrooms, four bathrooms, an office and grand formal rooms such as a lounge, library and dining room all with expansive windows showcasing views of the gardens and vineyard.

Noorilim’s name is derived from the Indigenous Yorta Yorta language and means “place of many reeds” reflecting the estate’s connection to its natural surroundings. Complementing Gall’s vision, renowned landscape designer William Guilfoyle — who worked on Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens — crafted Noorilim’s standout gardens.

The grounds are home to echidnas, kangaroos and koalas, more than 300 mature trees including ancient Moreton Bay figs, a rose garden with a central fountain, an ornamental lake, a boathouse, and even a private beach on the banks of Goulburn River. There is also an extensive wine cellar, numerous outbuildings and barns, as well as a heritage-listed water tower. The working vineyard produces Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet, and Merlot grape varieties.
