Martha Stewart exemplifies the art of living. From turning homemaking into a multimillion‑dollar empire to creating a brand that signals impeccable taste, her personal life and business ventures are carefully curated. Her net worth is estimated at $400 million, largely supported by $30 million worth of real‑estate assets that showcase her evolution as a tastemaker, according to Robb Report.
**Real‑Estate Highlights**
- **East Hampton Estate** – The Lily Pond Lane property, sold in 2021 to Huffington Post co‑founder Kenneth Lerer for $16.5 million, was one of Stewart’s earlier high‑value holdings.
- **Connecticut Residence** – A former home sold in 2007 for $6.7 million, reflecting her penchant for refined properties.
**Coastal Retreat: Skylands, Maine**
Stewart’s summer haven is the historic Skylands in Seal Harbor, Maine, near Acadia National Park. Built in 1925 for auto executive Edsel Ford and acquired by Stewart in 1997, the 12‑bedroom, 7½‑bath estate overlooks Frenchman Bay. She has upgraded the property with modern luxuries such as an infinity pool while preserving its historic charm. A pink granite driveway leads past formal gardens and stone terraces that blend seamlessly into Maine’s rugged landscape. Skylands is part of a cluster of Stewart properties on Mount Desert Island, which also includes a 6,805‑sq‑ft lodge and a 2,049‑sq‑ft historic home on Main Street.
**Primary Residence: Cantitoe Corners (Bedford Farm)**
Located in Katonah, New York, about an hour and a half from Manhattan, Cantitoe Corners spans 153 acres. Stewart began assembling the acreage in 2000 through three purchases, culminating in a sprawling estate that houses five residences, including a 1784 farmhouse and a 1929 Colonial‑style winter house. Over two decades, she has transformed the property into a fully functional farm and social hub, complete with equestrian facilities, stables, paddocks, and riding trails. The main house features a professional‑grade kitchen that mirrors Stewart’s culinary expertise, while numerous outbuildings support farm operations and house a diverse array of animals, from horses to peacocks.
**Urban Base: The Belnord, Upper West Side**
In April 2024, Stewart and her daughter Alexis bought a six‑bedroom, 6½‑bath corner unit in the Belnord for $12.3 million. The apartment, highlighted in the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building,” boasts soaring ceilings, expansive windows, heated bathroom floors, and a custom kitchen. This city pad complements her pastoral farm and coastal retreat, keeping her real‑estate portfolio as dynamic and multifaceted as her career.
Stewart’s real‑estate holdings are more than a collection of properties; they are a tangible reflection of her commitment to sophisticated living, entrepreneurial success, and the cultivation of beauty in all its forms.
