Historic, elegant, truly unforgettable.

That barely begins to scratch the surface of what awaits at 322 Rose Hill Road, the legendary Rosemary Lodge in Water Mill South. Built in 1885 by Henry Turbell Rose and renovated in 2007, the Shingle style estate now lists for $14.25 million.

The estate has been recognized in Houses of the Hamptons and is listed on both the State and National Register of Historic Places. Meanwhile, the property abounds with every modern luxury you can imagine.

The majesty of Rosemary Lodge

Set on just under one acre and only minutes from the ocean, the 4,110-square-foot estate features a main house, a pool house and a heated pool. The home boasts five bedrooms, four bathrooms and one half-bath, all meticulously preserved, according to Brown Harris Stevens, the listing realtor for the property.

Museum-quality craftsmanship is just about everywhere your eyes land inside Rosemary Lodge. The home features hand-carved woodwork, stained glass windows and intricate moldings, along with delicate motifs of ships, butterflies, birds and floral designs.

The ash-paneled central living hall sets the tone for elegant entertaining, the realtor boasts. Four working fireplaces showcase hand-carved mantels, hidden cupboards, hand-painted designs and custom tile inserts.

Big and bright eat-in kitchen

Outside Rosemary Lodge, a beautifully maintained rose garden greets guests and a backyard oasis offers a heated pool, a pool house with full bath and outdoor shower, an alfresco cooking station with refrigerator, and a vegetable garden.

Today’s Rosemary Lodge also features a bevy of modern amenities — namely a state-of-the-art darkroom for photography, a dedicated exercise and bicycle shed, ample storage, and a newly installed electric vehicle charging station.
