Harvey Weinstein’s former Westport land asks $21M

The buyer of Harvey Weinstein’s Westport properties is looking to sell them, sans the disgraced Hollywood mogul’s home.

The properties at 26 and 28 Beachside Avenue in Westport, Connecticut have been listed for a combined $21 million, the New York Post reported. The adjacent properties combine for nearly six acres.

Weinstein purchased the first of the two properties, 26 Beachside Avenue, in 1994 for $4.2 million. He later tacked on the neighboring property six years later for $4 million.

In the midst of his sexual assault scandal, however, Weinstein sold the pair in 2018 to graphic designer Andrew Bentley and his wife, art historian Fiona Garland, for $16 million. At the time of the purchase, the coupe already owned four lots in Westport.

In the interest of building their own home — which never materialized — the couple tore down Weinstein’s 9,000-square-foot residence. While the land doesn’t include a home, it does boast access to the waterfront.  

Higgins Group’s Victoria Fingelly has the separate listings that make up the former Weinstein residence.

Weinstein was sentencedin 2020 to 39 years in prison on charges of rape and sexual assault.

Prior to selling the double lot, Weinstein sold a much smaller home in Westport for $1.6 million. The 3,000-square-foot home had four bedrooms, three bathrooms and sat on more than a half acre. He purchased it 20 years earlier for $825,000.

The disgraced film producer also took a loss on his Amagansett home in the Hamptons. Purchased in 2014 for $11.4 million, the seven-bedroom, 9,000-square foot home near Gardiner’s Bay sold In 2018 for $10 million after listing for $13.5 million.
