Vitamin Shoppe<\/a> founder Jeffrey Horowitz just lowered the dose of his oceanfront Hamptons compound.<\/p>\n

He now seeks a cool $79 million for the 3.5-acre property \u2014 featuring a pool and a nine-hole golf course he designed himself \u2014 that stands in prime Sagaponack.<\/p>\n

In summer 2025, he listed the spread for a higher $89 million. Before bringing it public, Horowitz had reportedly tried earlier in 2025 to sell it off-market for an even higher $125 million, but no buyers materialized. (That price adjustment, according to reports at the time<\/a>, reflected a “recalibration.”)<\/p>\n

The listing appears to be marketed in a co-exclusive between Ryan Serhant of Serhant \u2014 whose representative did not immediately return a request for comment \u2014 plus Terry Cohen, Taylor Cohen and Ashley McDermott of Compass.<\/p>\n

“We have supported comps for similar compounds at a list price of $79 million,” said Terry Cohen in a statement. “Sagaponack is such a sought-after village, with a very limited number of oceanfront homes. Adding the second lot with ocean access affords the new buyer the ability to create a compound, which has become very important in trophy assets.”<\/p>\n

Horowitz and his wife, Helen, assembled the land in the mid-1990s for some $2.7 million, then completed the home in 1998. Horowitz founded the Vitamin Shoppe in 1977, then sold it to Bear Stearns<\/a> for some $300 million in 2002. He stayed on as CEO until 2004.<\/p>\n

A lot has changed for the family over the decades, but the property remains stunning.<\/p>\n

It boasts an impressive 200 feet of oceanfront, which lends itself to wide views of the Atlantic from inside the house.<\/p>\n

A living room looks out to the pool and the ocean beyond, while a chef’s-grade kitchen also offers vistas of the waves. A wood-paneled den serves for cozy gatherings. The lower level fits staff quarters, a wine cellar, a game room and a gym.<\/p>\n
