Water Mill $7.5M New Build Notably Lacks Tennis Court

A newly built Water Mill home priced at $7,495,000 has drawn attention across the local market—not for a grand court-side setup, but for its absence. The three-story, roughly 7,520-square-foot transitional residence sits on about 0.94 acres and features modern finishes, a pool, spa and sauna, yet the listing’s outdoor amenities block lists "Tennis: No" and "Room for a tennis court: No."

The explicit "no" on both the tennis and the room-for-a-court fields matters for players, coaches and households that treat on-site court access as a checklist item. For buyers comparing Hamptons inventory, this listing is a clear example of how a high-profile new build can prioritize indoor luxury and poolside living over dedicated tennis infrastructure.

Practical implications are immediate. If your primary concern is being able to host baseline rallies, drills or quick morning serves without leaving the property, this Water Mill offering will not meet that need. The “no room” designation also signals that adding a court would likely be infeasible because of lot footprint, setbacks or zoning limitations, rather than a simple landscaping choice. That cuts off the common workaround of retrofitting a backyard court.

Agents and prospective buyers should note the specifics: three stories, roughly 7,520 square feet of living space, about 0.94 acres of land, and outdoor amenities centered on a pool/spa/sauna package. The listing is carried by Compass and was verified on January 18, 2026. For those prioritizing tennis, this combination of lot size and house placement demonstrates why an amenity-check in search filters matters as much as the finish level or kitchen layout.

There are practical next steps for those engaged in the market. Confirm the outdoor-amenities fields when reviewing listings and ask listing agents to clarify the "room for a tennis court" determination and any easements or setback requirements that drove it. If on-site play is essential, broaden searches to include older properties with established courts, larger parcels, or properties explicitly marked with on-site tennis. For players uninterested in club membership, proximity to public courts or the availability of private lessons and local parks should be weighed during a property tour.

This Water Mill listing underlines a simple point for the Hamptons tennis community: luxury new construction can deliver spa and pool lifestyles without a court in the yard. For many buyers, the decision will come down to whether they value a turnkey indoor-outdoor entertaining package more than immediate, on-site court time—or whether they prefer to keep chasing that perfect serve elsewhere.
