Babaev, who worked with Raphael De Niro on the deal, also hinted that the buyers are foreign investors, adding #INTERNATIONALBUYERS to her tweet.

Update: Buyer’s broker Jason Friedman of Laffey Fine Homes in Great Neck, who handled the deal with his mother, Sarah Friedman, confirmed that the sale is neither a price, nor a land sale record for the North Shore. He confirmed that the undisclosed buyer is Chinese and that s/he paid the $20 million asking price. Last, year, Jason and Sarah Freidman sold a 30-acre property at 251 Searingtown Road in Manhasset for $36.5 million. Another nearby property at 225 Muttontown Road with 107 acres sold for $19 million. – Christopher Cameron
