Gold Coast Estate is the pearl in what was to be a grand development of homesteads on a picturesque point overlooking the inlet to Oyster Bay on Centre Island. Fortunately those larger development plans never came to fruition and the estate transitioned to a private family residence that has been the focal point of family gatherings for several generations. The house and grounds are expansive, encompassing the entire eastern “beak” of Centre Island. The home is well appointed with 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. There are two tennis courts, a standard pool with views of the bay and sound, a bay boat house with kayak launches, and 1/2 mile of private beach.

The Mediterranean-style villa is on 30 acres. There are nine cottages on the property, which has two tennis courts, a half-mile of private beach, a 50-by-25-foot heated swimming pool and a place to land a helicopter. The main house has 10 bedrooms, seven baths and five fireplaces. It was built in 1906 for Samuel T. Shaw, a hotelier and American art collector. It has been owned by the Oelsner family for four generations. Over the years, a number of celebrities have stayed on the property,
