J. Crew CEO Mickey Drexler bought the 30-acre, oceanfront property for $27 million in 2007.

Eight years later, the compound — which includes six cottages restored by architect Thierry Despont — has sold for almost double that amount.

The home fronts the serene Montauk coast, and the kitchen nook's bay windows make full use of that.

Just imagine cooking decadent meals in this sun-splashed kitchen.

Open the curtains and let the sunlight and salty sea air flood the living room.

With nearly 15,000 square feet of living space, the compound has nine bedrooms and 11 full bathrooms.

Many decades later, the property still evokes its fishing camp origins.

The buyer, Adam Lindemann, elected not to purchase the horse farm also attached to the property.

Lindemann collects Warhol paintings, Sotheby's Rylan Jacka told the Wall Street Journal. Consider this another work of art for the collection.
