Summer rentals these days have reached $1 million in some parts of the Hamptons, but Russian heiress Anna Anisimova made headlines in 2006 when she leased a Water Mill South mansion for $635,000 for three months -- an almost unheard of sum at the time.
Anisimova is now building a Hamptons home of her own, and the 8,500-square-foot, seven-bedroom home that she rented on Cobb Road is listed for sale with Gary DePersia of the Corcoran Group. Originally listed at just under $20 million last year, the asking price has recently been lowered to $17.5 million.
This past weekend the house was featured on WNBC’s “Open House NYC.” You can see the video here.
