Probably, but it is a summer house.

Part of stones history there.
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.
Great, great story!
What happened then? In the morning? Did the security catched you?

I was there to assist their tour photographer.

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.
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.
