The Rest of the Divorce!
The Rest of the Divorce!
Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleThe fat woman hasn’t sung for David Saperstein who is yet unloading real estate after his spectacular divorce. Last week we told you about his ex-wife, Suzanne, putting her palace, Fleur de Lys, on the market and this week we have David listing Hummingbird Nest Farm. We can’t wait to see what next week will hold! Hummingbird Nest is a farm they bought together during better days since she loved horseback riding. It was probably a great place for the children to get out into nature and kick up their heels when they were young too. But now the kids are grown, the parents are divorced, David married the nanny, Suzanne is out there having a ball winning dance contests. . . . and millions of dollars worth of their prime real estate is flooding the high-end market.
The farm is no longer just a farm. The Sapersteins turned it into a world-class equestrian showplace as we’ve come to expect. The 123-acre farm is set up primarily for jumpers/hunters, but could be used for dressage or other show events. With 3 barns totalling 60 stalls, there should always be enough space for visiting contenders. What interests us are the six 3 and 4 bedroom homes and 10 townhouses on the property offering lots of housing for staff and guests. The mansion is Spanish in style and has 17,000sf. Outstanding features are the all-vaulted beamed ceilings, the exquisite Spanish and terracotta tile work and walls of French doors that open out to terraces with views over the green riding fields and mountain. Another outstanding feature is the commercial kitchen that though ultra functional for the professional chef, is still warm and inviting. Overall, the total 50,000sf of living area has 57 bedrooms, 40 baths, 18 kitchens and parking for more than 500 cars. There are also large storage buildings, a helipad and a large solar panel installation that provides power. Three wells provide water that is run through a purifier.
Listed in 2007 for $75m, the Saperstein’s Hummingbird Nest farm is now listed at $45m.
