Situated on more than 60 acres of rolling farmland, this remarkable private sanctuary is the ideal estate for golf enthusiasts. The exclusive golf course is the only personal course in the Hamptons and is solely accessible to property owners and their guests. It even includes both a pro shop and a clubroom on the premises.

The estate has been designed and built by a collaboration of three outstanding architects. Allan Greenberg, L.L.D., whom has worked on many prestigious projects including The White House, Princeton University, and Rockefeller Center, has discerningly designed both the home and guesthouse within the compound. The 20,000-square-foot main house offers seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, two 3-car garages, a separate staff quarters with private entrance, and a two-story pro shop and golf club with bar.

The property also includes a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom guesthouse, a garden orangerie with kitchenette, and the “Fish House,” an antique barn that has been converted into a fully heated halfway house, equipped with a kitchenette and bathroom. The 75-foot flush edge pool with its own pavilion and the grass tennis court are just two more of the first-rate amenities that exemplify this manor’s grandeur.

Renowned golf-course architect designer Rees Jones has been the mastermind behind many highly rated golf courses including Atlantic Golf Club and The Bridge. Jones has designed the estate’s striking U.S.G.A. rated 18-hole golf course, the focal point of this beautiful property.

The grounds of the estate are truly remarkable thanks to the vision of landscape architect Edmund D. Hollander. Among the foremost landscape designers, Hollander is the visionary behind the 14 gardens, which include a traditional English cottage garden, a lily walk, and vegetable gardens as well as world-class butterfly and rose gardens alongside three pristine ponds.

With all of the beauty, privacy and exclusivity that Three Ponds Farm has to offer, it’s not only a golfer’s paradise but a magnificent, picturesque piece of real estate.
