“I practice once or twice a week,” says Cohen, whose handicap is 24. (Merry’s is 36.) “There’s a sand trap and a putting green with eight different holes.”

Formal gardens and an in-ground pool with pool house share the parcel.

The main house, an elegant brick Georgian-style home built in 1926 by banker-diplomat Winthrop W. Aldrich, is listed for $7.778 million and features 25 rooms, including a ballroom, banquet dining room and 12 fireplaces.

Other influential residents have made their home here, including Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt II, who served as president of Belmont Park and Pimlico racetracks. “It’s a little piece of paradise,” says Mollie Grossman of Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate, who is listing the property with Aileen Murstein at Coldwell Banker Residential. “All this privacy near so many wonderful parts of Long Island.” -- Virginia Dunleavy
