Gatsby's Mansion

Gatsby's Mansion: New York

Homes like this are one in a million. An eight-acre complex on the Port Jefferson coastline, guests will find virtually everything they could wish for at the address. Let's start with the two swimming pools — one of them is outside with a glorious view of the Long Island Sound and a Jacuzzi built into the middle, while the other sits indoors along with a waterfall feature and gym equipment. If you want to keep active, there's a tennis court and a pair of saunas for afterwards, but relaxation is made just as easy with the home cinema and collection of balconies and terraces facing the sea. The house itself could double up as the residence of a character from a certain F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, thanks to thirty-foot high ceilings, double staircases and colossal spaces for entertaining. A helipad means you can make an entrance in style if you so wish and a pathway from the property leads directly down to a private stretch of sandy beach. Although there's very little reason to leave, there's a golf course in the Belle Terre village only six minutes' drive away, as well as the Port Jefferson Marina that takes around the same amount of time to reach.
