As properties go, this oceanfront offering is a masterpiece in its own right. Owning this “extraordinary” estate, last sold in 2004 for $19 million, according to public records, “may only happen once in a lifetime,” according to the listing.

While he declined to confirm the current seller, the place previously belonged to Roone Arledge, the legendary broadcasting executive who died in 2002.
