Neil Patrick Harris Scores East Hampton Estate for .5M

Multitalented entertainer Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, David Burtka, have ponied up $5.5 million for a four-bedroom getaway in East Hampton, NY, according to The Real Deal.

Although the number of bedrooms is modest, the number of acres that comes with the property—13.5—is huge. The cleared acreage is adjacent to a 10-acre, town-owned reserve.

The couple’s new estate also includes a tennis court, cabana, boxwood hedges, and pea gravel walkways. The two-story home features a living room with a beamed cathedral ceiling, four fireplaces, a wine cellar, and rooftop hot tub.

Last summer, the New York Post unmasked the home as an “orgy pad” in reference to a report about a not-so-wild party at the residence while it was awaiting a buyer.

The home, which was on the market for $6.5 million, had once belonged to publisher Barney Rossett, who had championed the controversial releases of uncensored editions of D.H. Lawrence’s “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” and Henry Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer,” according to Behind the Hedges. The website also says the next owner renovated the home’s barn, which became the double-height living room.
