The 50-acre Rhinebeck, N.Y. estate where Chelsea Clinton held her wedding last weekend, on the market since last September, has just dropped its Sotheby’s International Realty listing broker, according to the Wall Street Journal. The $12 million Astor Courts property, which was built in 1904 for John Jacob Astor IV, has certainly had more exposure than your typical for sale by owner property. On top of the media frenzy that descended on the town for the event, hundreds of wealthy wedding guests viewed the estate up close, in what, for the owners, could have served as a massive open house. The property, which real estate developer Arthur Seelbinder owns with his brother, Oscar Seelbinder and wife, Democratic fundraiser Kathleen Hammer, includes a Beaux-Arts mansion designed by Stanford White with an indoor pool, a clay tennis court and views of the Hudson River. The group bought it for $3.2 million in 2004. Their listing agreement with Heather Croner of Sotheby’s expired July 30 — the day before the wedding. [WSJ]
