Billy Joel's $49.9M Long Island Mansion Returns to Market for Second Time

The Piano Man's 26-acre Centre Island estate seeks a new buyer, featuring newly renovated spaces.

B
illy Joel's Long Island estate, known as "MiddleSea," is back on the market with a price tag of $49.9 million after a five-year, multimillion-dollar renovation. The 26-acre property features four homes and over 2,000 feet of private beach along the affluent Gold Coast.

    The main house boasts 20,000 square feet of living space, including five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and breathtaking views of the Long Island Sound. Luxurious amenities include a spa, ballroom, wine cellar, bowling alley, and marble and hardwood floors.

    Emmett Laffey, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty, notes that every detail has been carefully curated to maintain the property's essence while elevating it to modern standards. The manicured lawns, grand foyer, and beautifully landscaped gardens create a stunning backdrop for entertaining.

    In addition to the main residence, there are three other homes on the property: a five-bedroom gatehouse, a three-bedroom beach house, and a three-bedroom guest house. The estate's private beach, dock, and boat ramp offer endless opportunities for water activities, while the private helipad ensures easy access for those flying in.

    Joel, 75, has taken the home off the market before to complete renovations, but this time he's ready to part ways with his longtime estate. Despite selling "MiddleSea," Joel will still own a smaller property on Long Island and plans to spend more time in Florida.
