The 2006 Hampton Designer Showhouse is back on the market, now for an asking price of $16.9 million.

The 14,000-square-foot Bridgehampton home, which was listed for $24.5 million when it went on the market three years ago, had been in foreclosure; earlier this year, through a series of legal maneuvers, it was turned over to a holding company that is now trying to sell the property, says exclusive listing agent Mary Slattery of The Corcoran Group.

The investors behind the holding company are now paying to have the house completed, she says. The media room was never finished, and neither was the patio, she says. Even some trim and knobs are missing — "the kinds of things you'd expect to see in a house on the market for $16.9 million," she says.

Still, she says, "It's a spectacular property. It's just under four acres in one of the most beautiful spots in Bridgehampton south of the highway."

The eight-bedroom, 9.5-bath Arts & Crafts style house on Sagg Pond was designed by architect Peter Cook, Christie Brinkley's ex-husband. There is a wine room, a pool and a tennis court.
