Hamptons home of art dealer’s widow hits market for $45M

A Southampton home belonging to the widow of a famed art dealer is hitting the market along the ocean.

A company tied to Susan Lloyd, who was married to Vienna-born art dealer Frank Lloyd, is listing the property for $45 million, the Wall Street Journal reported. The seller purchased the property 25 years ago for $6.5 million.

The Southampton estate spans two and a half acres, situated off the ocean. The contemporary-style house is 8,000 square feet and includes six bedrooms; it was built in 1992.

The property has 190 feet of frontage along the beach and its own private boardwalk. The property’s grounds also include a heated pool and a clay tennis court, in case the owner ever wants to invite Rafael Nadal to town.

Bespoke Real Estate has the listing. Founder Cody Vichinsky said the property is in good shape, but could also be torn down by a buyer to make way for something different.

Frank Lloyd died a year after the property was purchased. Lloyd co-founded the Marlborough Galleries, but was arguably best known for his involvement in the Rothko art scandal. Lloyd was convicted of tampering with evidence in the case.

The listing could provide an interesting comparison, as another Southampton estate recently hit the market at a nearly identical price point. The turnkey home at 1730 Meadow Lane was listed at $46 million. It boasts many of the same features, such as a tennis court and an 8,000-square-foot house (although the Meadow Lane property is a few hundred feet bigger).

The most significant difference, however, is that the Meadow Lane property has double-dune protection from the Atlantic Ocean. The parcel’s distance from the ocean evade the creeping effects of climate change.
