Collector’s Oceanfront Estate Lists at $45M

Some houses tell a story. This one tells several.

The oceanfront residence at 15 Dune Road in Bridgehampton has just come to market at $45 million, listed with Kyle Rosko, Keren Ringler, and John Gomes of Douglas Elliman. On its face, it is a masterwork of coastal architecture — seven bedrooms, private direct ocean beach access, a heated gunite saltwater pool sitting directly on the ocean side, and a linear shoreline layout that gives every principal room unobstructed water views. Sunrises over the Atlantic to the east. Sunsets over the bay to the west. The house is, in the most literal sense, oriented toward light.

But the provenance behind it is what makes 15 Dune Road genuinely singular.

The home was built by the late Ara Arslanian — a second-generation member of the storied Arslanian diamond family, long respected in the international trade for dealing in rare and exceptional stones — who was also, somewhat remarkably, a central figure in the 1980s New York art world. An early supporter of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Arslanian reportedly maintained close relationships with Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, and other artists who were then rewriting the rules of contemporary culture. His collection eventually included works by Basquiat, Haring, Warhol, Jeff Koons, and Julian Schnabel — names that read less like a checklist than a curator’s life’s work.

The home he designed around that collection — a process that took nearly a decade — reflects exactly that level of intention.

Conceived in collaboration with Mark C. Matthews Architecture and interior designer Francis D’Haene of D’Apostrophe Design, the residence was built to function simultaneously as a private family retreat and a gallery-quality setting for serious contemporary art. UV-protected Arcadia glass walls and top-tier specialized glazing were installed throughout to protect the collection from coastal light and salt exposure — a level of technical consideration that is rare even among the Hamptons’ most expensive oceanfront properties. Inside, a three-story glass elevator maintains ocean views at every floor. Two fireplaces, a gym, and a media room round out a residence that manages to feel both monumental and livable.

What arrives on the market today is not simply a beautiful house on the ocean. It is the physical record of a collector’s vision — a place where architecture, art, and the Atlantic were asked to coexist at the highest possible standard and did.
