i can hear the mosquitoes from here!
Probably, but it is a summer house.
1975. The third photo down...the living room...is where they rehearsed every night during the short time I was there. I remember walking outside to the beach at dawn and hearing them in the background. I knew I needed to savor the experience because it would never happen again. I was right. There was a hallway just out of the right side of the frame that led to some bedrooms. The night I arrived the band was upstate rehearsing on the Lotus stage in Newburgh NY. I got wasted with one of their security people and staggered off to the first bed I could find. The next morning I was awaken, still drunk from the night before, by Keith and Ronnie. Keith asked who I was. I replied, "I'm Chuck." He said OK and they left. Problem was that I knew I wasn't dreaming, I knew who they were, but I didn't know where I was or why I was there. It turned out that I was in Ronnie's bed and he wanted to go to sleep. I later went into next bedrooom where Ronnie was sleeping on the floor. That was my introduction to the Rolling Stones. A time I treasure and will never forget.
They rented the complex from Andy Warhol to rehearse for the 1975 Tour Of The Americas (TOTA). Keith and Ronnie stayed in the main house...the one that includes the kitchen seen in the b&w shot and the living room where they set up their amps, Charlie's drums, and a piano for Stu. Mick stayed in one of the other buildings. Charlie and Bill stayed elsewhere, I assume in Montauk. I read that Warhol and Paul Morrissey bought the place for $275,000 in the early 1970s. A far cry from the $85,000,000 it's listed for now. Wow!
I was there to assist Annie Leibovitz, who was the TOTA photographer. She and I set up a shooting space in the basement of one of the other buildings, I think the one Mick stayed in. She was with them at Newburgh NY when I arrived. They set up the Lotus stage in a hangar at an old AF base so they could get used to performing on it. She overslept and they left her there when they came back to Montauk. That was the morning when Keith and Ronnie found me in Ronnie's bed and woke me up. Later the same day I was reading in the living room when I met Mick. I'm a Clueless White Kid From Glendale, and figured the Stones were bigger than life. When he introduced himself, I figured he was another British guy...too small to be Mick Jagger...and I was doing fine until Annie, who had just arrived from Newburgh, came in and said "I see you met Mick." I froze.
Interesting things happened during my short stay there. Some that I can share and others that would best remain as memories. But I can tell you that there is nothing like hearing the Rolling Stones, revved up after weeks of rehearsing, playing in a living room. To this day I'm aware of how fortunate I was to fall into that situation, and it's something I'll never forget.
It is in The USA.
The flag stays.
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier.

That's when Lennon, Jagger, Clapton I think and several others did an all-star version of 'Bony Moronie.'
It is "overpriced" because it is old and because it used to belong to Warhol.
A "proper mansion" without pedigree would sold less.

Hmmm.. well for that price it had better have a bunch or original Warhol art strewn about the compound.
Probably not Naturalust, but I'll bet MT sprayed some graffiti around the compound to try to lower the property value...
This place has character. Mansions don't. They are monuments to the people who build them.
Does that also mean that someone with a BIG house also has a tiny todger?
Its the HTW that give me the Honky Tonk Blues
Thanks.

Mick Jagger in the book THE BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO:
MICK: "...after the Beatles and the Stones stopped playing clubs, we didn't see much of each other...I didn't see much of John until he separated from Yoko, around 1974. We got really friendly again, more friendly than we'd ever been, in fact. We saw each other in L.A. a bit, but mostly in New York City and also out in Montauk, Long Island, where he came to stay with me. We had some funny times. We got really drunk, and we went out on sailboats and just sat around with guitars and played. This was the time when John was preparing to record his rock & roll album, and he was quite openly trying to pick my brains, to decide what to record. We'd run through all the oldies and he'd pick out ones that he liked."

It does seem a bit overpriced at $85,000,000 considering the relatively old buildings on the property. I imagine whomever purchases it will demolish many of the structures and build a proper mansion, unfortunately.

It is "overpriced" because it is old and because it used to belong to Warhol.
