Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime wows the left while Kid Rock and Turning Point USA counter program of conservatives. It’s Day 9 of the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom Nancy and authorities aren’t saying much of anything. No suspects, no person interest and no plans for a press conference.
Billy Joel has yanked his sprawling Oyster Bay, Long Island compound from the market after a revamped sales plan — and a subsequent price chop — failed to seal the deal, The Post has learned. It’s unclear if Joel will put the home on the market at a later date, or if he plans to hold onto the home for the time being.
The Post has reached out to Joel’s reps for comment. The 21-acre North Shore spread, dubbed MiddleSea, has been through more costume changes than one of Joel’s arena tours. Joel first tried to unload the entire estate in 2023 for just under $50 million while the property was still deep in a massive renovation. But the overhaul dragged on for more than five years, scaring off buyers.The 21-acre waterfront compound, known as MiddleSea, was first listed in 2023 for nearly $50 million while still mid-renovation, but the protracted five-year construction timeline stalled interest. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald is a property mogul with a $10M estate and a home he rents for $15K/month“At the time, ‘it was … a construction scene,’” Emmett Laffey, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty, which handled the listing, previously told The Post. “As an unfinished property, you can never sell this magnitude of a home.” With the sale stalled, Joel’s team shifted gears last year, carving up the estate into three separate pieces — the way the Grammy winner originally assembled it. “When bought this 20 years ago, he bought the main house,” Laffey said. “And then as he lived there, he bought the adjacent two lots, which are buildable lots, and he purchased a gatehouse. Now we’re selling it like he bought it — in pieces. The smartest way to sell this incredible land and property is the way he purchased it.”After the breakup failed to spark a deal, the asking price for the main house, home to this chef’s kitchen, was slashed to $25 million.Under the new configuration, the 14-acre main residence asked $29.9 million, while two neighboring 3-acre buildable parcels were listed at $4.95 million apiece. The gatehouse portionStill, the restructuring didn’t spark a bidding war. The price on the main house was eventually reduced to $25 million — but even that wasn’t enough to land a buyer.There was interest, though — particularly from Joel loyalists. “You do have some extreme fans,” Laffey said. “It is very special. It’s a very famous home to everyone on the North Shore of Long Island.”He purchased the core estate in 2002 for a reported $22.5 million and never returned to live in the 20,000-square-foot mansion during its extensive renovations.The centerpiece mansion clocks in at roughly 20,000 square feet, with five bedrooms, eight bathrooms and soaring 30-foot cathedral ceilings framing panoramic views of Long Island Sound. The property also boasts a spa, a ballroom, a wine cellar and a guesthouse outfitted with its own bowling alley — along with a beach house, a pool, a dock, a tennis court, a helipad and a six-car garage tucked into the maintenance building. Joel bought the core of the estate in 2002 for a reported $22.5 million. During the lengthy renovations, he never moved back into the main house, instead staying in the gatehouse — before it sold — “or the guest house near the main home,” Laffey said.Tom Brady's one-word reaction to Bad Bunny's star-studded halftime showBethenny Frankel weighs in on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 2026 halftime show Whoopi Goldberg Calls Trump Out On ‘The View’ For Skipping Kid Rock’s Halftime Show So He Could Complain About Bad Bunny’s Instead: “What Was Happening With Kid Rock, Wasn’t That Your Thing?”The 21-acre waterfront compound, known as MiddleSea, was first listed in 2023 for nearly $50 million while still mid-renovation, but the protracted five-year construction timeline stalled interest.After the breakup failed to spark a deal, the asking price for the main house, home to this chef's kitchen, was slashed to $25 million.He purchased the core estate in 2002 for a reported $22.5 million and never returned to live in the 20,000-square-foot mansion during its extensive renovations.
