bathroomsBuilt in 1895 and thoughtfully renovated in 1997 by architect John David Rose, Red Top Farm is a 3-story clapboard farmhouse that embodies Southampton’s rich heritage while offering 8,720 SF+/- of modern living. Set on 2.9 acres+/-, the estate comprises 10 bedrooms, 7 full and 2 half bathrooms across the main residence, complemented by a 2-story guest house and a detached garage with an apartment. A pool, spa, and manicured grounds complete this rare Hamptons compound.
Moments from pristine ocean beaches and Southampton Village, the estate sits south of the highway amid protected farmlands. Expansive lawns, specimen trees, and tall privet hedges provide privacy and a bucolic backdrop while keeping the village and ocean within easy reach.
Known as Red Top Farm, this property was built around 1895 for the Thompson family and originally served as a working farm with several outbuildings. Its distinctive red roof, visible from a distance, gave the home its enduring name. Architecturally, the residence is a 2.5-story, 5-Bay clapboard farmhouse with gabled rooflines, an Italianate overhang, and a broad front porch. Historical maps reference earlier ownership by D. Burnett in 1897, before the house passed to Mrs. Wagner of the Southampton Summer Colony and later to Mrs. Philip B. Thompson in 1916.
The 3,151 SF+/- first level opens with a sunlit foyer of mosaic tile windows and hardwood floors. The living and dining rooms, each with a fireplace, flow seamlessly to a family room, sitting room, and terraces beyond.
The dining area accommodates 6+ guests with French doors. An eat-in kitchen with a breakfast area combines high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and pendant lighting. An office, pantry, laundry, linen closet, and 2 powder baths complete this level.
The 2,915 SF+/- second level is centered on the primary suite, a vaulted retreat with a wood-burning fireplace, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. The level also offers 2 en-suite bedrooms, 1 with a fireplace, as well as 5 guest bedrooms served by 2 full bathrooms.
A 1,456 SF+/- legal guest house provides 2 levels with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, offering privacy and comfort for visitors.
The 1,306 SF+/- garage incorporates a 2-story apartment with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a full kitchen, designed for staff or extended stays.
Set within expansive lawns shaded by mature specimen trees, the property offers a balance of
privacy and pastoral beauty. An oversized pool and detached spa, framed by a red-brick patio with bluestone
coping and enclosed by a white picket fence, create an idyllic centerpiece for summer leisure. Beyond the pool,
the aerial views reveal the estate’s broad acreage, including open fields, landscaped hedges, and meandering
gravel drives that reinforce its country estate character. The grounds also include a paddock and equestrian amenities,
reflecting the property’s agricultural heritage, while manicured hedgerows, gardens, and tree-lined perimeters speak
to its evolution into a refined Southampton retreat. Blending historic charm with Hamptons leisure, the
setting is at once enduringly timeless and beautifully livable.
