Television personality and cookbook author Rachael Ray has listed her custom-renovated Southampton property for $4.9 million. The estate, purchased in 2008 for $2.6 million, offers a primary residence, a substantial pool house, and a private studio on over six acres. This listing presents a turnkey opportunity in a prime Hamptons location, with nearly all interior furnishings available for separate purchase directly from the celebrity owner.
The three-bedroom main house spans approximately 3,650 square feet and was extensively renovated by Rachael Ray herself. The kitchen is a chef's highlight, equipped with professional-grade appliances including a Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and dual beverage-cooling drawers. The interior design features pieces from Ms. Ray's own furniture line, creating a cohesive and stylish atmosphere. While these furnishings are not included in the asking price, they are available for purchase, offering a unique chance to acquire a home styled by a renowned lifestyle personality.
The estate's value is significantly enhanced by its outdoor amenities and additional structures. The grounds include an outdoor swimming pool and a sizable, roughly 1,400-square-foot pool house. This separate structure functions as a guest house with a full kitchen and two bathrooms. A separate one-room building provides flexible space that can be used as an artist’s or writer’s studio, adding to the property's appeal for creative professionals or those seeking a private retreat.
According to public records, Rachael Ray and her husband, John Cusimano, purchased the Hamptons property in 2008. The current asking price of $4.9 million reflects the substantial renovations and unique character infused into the estate. The decision to sell comes as the couple, who primarily reside in New York City, opted to build a home in Lake Luzerne in upstate New York, near where Ms. Ray grew up, instead of using the Southampton home for weekends.
