A Hamptons estate owned by the late music-industry giant who signed Madonna asks $15M for sale
Red Top Farm, a classic Hamptons estate once owned by music legend Seymour Stein, is now on the market for $15 million. The home sits on 2.9 acres at 348 Wickapogue Road near Southampton Village and offers a mix of historic charm and modern luxury.
Stein, the Brooklyn‑born co‑founder of Sire Records and a key figure behind artists like Madonna, the Ramones, Talking Heads and Pretenders, passed away in 2023 at age 80 after a cancer battle. His legacy helped shape modern pop and rock, and his name still rings in the music world.
The farmhouse was built around 1895 and was revamped in 1997 by Southampton architect John David Rose. The 10‑bedroom main house spans 8,720 sq ft, with seven full baths, two powder rooms and space for a home office. Inside, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, custom millwork, French doors and pendant lights create a warm, bright atmosphere. Multiple wood‑burning fireplaces add a cozy feel to the living, dining and bedroom rooms. An eat‑in chef’s kitchen, packed with light, is a highlight for entertaining guests.
Outdoor living is a key draw. A sparkling pool, paddock and equestrian amenities set apart this property, while a picket fence, privet hedges and specimen trees frame the landscaped lawns. A 1,456‑sq‑ft, three‑bedroom guest house and a separate garage that houses a 1,306‑sq‑ft, three‑bedroom apartment add versatility for visitors or staff.
Listing broker Michael Schultz of Bespoke Real Estate said the home carries the pedigree of Seymour Stein, calling it “a visionary’s dream home that shaped modern music and culture.” The estate’s history and design make it a unique find for buyers who appreciate both music heritage and country‑style luxury.
