Red Top Farm, a Hamptons estate owned by the late music mogul Seymour Stein — who signed Madonna — has hit the market for $15 million, Gimme Shelter has learned.
Stein, the Brooklyn-born co-founder of Sire Records, helped create the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and put musical genres like punk and New Wave on the map. He also signed the Ramones, the Talking Heads and the Pretenders, among many more top bands.
He died in 2023 at age 80, of cancer.

The historic two-and-a-half story red clapboard farmhouse is at 348 Wickapogue Road near Southampton Village. Built around 1895 as part of a working farm, it was renovated in 1997 by Southampton Architect John David Rose, and sits on 2.9 acres.
“This home carries the pedigree of Seymour Stein — a visionary whose legacy shaped modern music and culture,” said listing broker Michael Schultz, of Bespoke Real estate.
Stein’s ex-wife, the late punk pioneer Linda Stein, managed the Ramones before morphing into one of the city’s top real estate power brokers for Madonna, Sting and Billy Joel — as well as Steven Spielberg, Angelina Jolie, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan and Michael Douglas. In 2007, Linda was murdered in her home at 965 Fifth Ave. by her assistant.
