There’s been a price drop on Belle Meade, the Greek Revival mansion in Quogue once owned by Ford Models founders Eileen and Jerry Ford.
The 11-bedroom home originally went on the market with The Corcoran Group last year for $10.5 million. It is now listed with Michael Shaheen of Prudential Douglas Elliman for $8.999 million.
Belle Meade was built in 1906 and is attributed to architect Stanford White. The home is being sold by the heirs of the latest owners, Dr. Robert and Robin Cushing, whose daughter Hilary married at Belle Meade in 1985. The wedding, catered by Martha Stewart, was featured in Stewart’s 1987 book, “Weddings”.
Belle Meade sits on 3.5 acres enclosed by privet hedges. Amenities include a heated Gunite pool and a Har-Tru tennis court.
