Bee Gees star Robin Gibb’s former New York beach house listed for $12.9 million
Albert Einstein was a frequent guest of original owners
A waterfront New York estate that once belonged to Robin Gibb, singer and songwriter in the Bee Gees, just hit the market for $12.9 million.
The 6.8-acre property is located on Long Island, North Shore in Lloyd Harbor. The estate is named “Kenjockety,” which the listing says translates to “far from noise” in a Native American language.
The home was originally built in 1926. It includes seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half-baths.
