Phil Falcone — a fallen hedge fund star once worth more than $2 billion stemming from his subprime mortgage bet — and his wife Lisa Maria Falওcone, have sold the last of their trophy homes: a modern beach mansion in Sagaponack, Gimme Shelter has learned.
The reside🦹nce, at 142 Crestview Lane, has in an all-cash deal, sources told Gimme exclusively. Info on the new owner was not available.
“This is a magnificent house that could not be built today — on a pond-front acre in Sagaponack so close to the ocean,” said listing broker Gary DePersia of Corcoran. (The buyers’ broker for the Sagaponack residence was Morgan McCarthy of Compass.) “It was built to the highest standards, with little regard for cost and included almost every bell and whistle you could think of. It took a while to find a buyer, as there were some repair issues. The new owner pursued this property doggedly and promises to restore it to its original luster. I, for one, cannot wait to see the results.”
The seven-bedroom, 14,000-square-foot mansion first listed for $27.95 mill🌳ion in 2021.
That was the year that Falcone’s debt had ballooned to $100 million, . Falcone owed multiple creditors — including an attorney, a limousine company, ex-employees and the IRS, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Trouble blew up in 2013, when the Securities and Exchange Commission banned his hedge fund, Harbinger Capital, from operating for five years. It was part of a settlement after Falcone admitted he borrowed against his personal capital account in the fund and admitted to negligence. By 2020, Harbinger’s assets under management were down to $336 million — a drastic drop from its $26 billion heyday under management a decade earlier, according to reports.
Since then, Falcone has moved into developing “decentralized” broadcast and streaming content. He did not return The Post’s calls seeking comment.
A marble waterfall wall and a sliding door open to the dwelling, which also boasts nine bathrooms and six powder rooms, and sits on 1 acre — with water views. Inside, the residence features a chef’s kitchen, a screening room, a billiards room with a bar, a wine cellar, a home office — and a gym with steam, a sauna, a hot tub, a cold plunge and massage room fittings.
There’s also a large bedroom suite on the main floor, overlooking the pool and Fairfield Pond — and another main bedroom suite upstairs, with an onyx bath and dual closets.
Stai🦄rs lead to a 4,600-square-foot roof deck with panoramic views of farm fields and the ocean.
Outside, there’s an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit and a covered loggia for al-fresco dining.
The home’s architect, Brian O’Keefe, worked with Charles Allem, principal of C.A.D International, who oversaw the interior design.
The couple has parted ways with other tony homes in recent 🦄years. They sold their former Upper East Side townhouse, at 14-16 E. 67th St. — once owned by former Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione — for $77.1 million in 2019. In 2022, they ꦜsold another Upper East Side townhouse, at 22 E. 67th St., for $21.42 million — almost half off its original $39 million ask in 2018. They also unloaded their St. Barts property in 2019, according to reports.
