B83.Inside Robert Downey Jr.’s Whimsical Windmill Home in the Hamptons
Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, producer Susan Downey, reside in a charming late 19th-century windmill folly in the Hamptons. Originally built as a playhouse and later transformed into a full-fledged residence, this unique property reflects the couple’s warm and down-to-earth personality.

Their home, known as the Edward DeRose Windmill Cottage, is set on a generous four-acre lot within minutes of East Hampton. Built circa 1885, this historic property was designed to look like a windmill but never functioned as one. The mansion features a 7-bedroom main house and a 2-bedroom guest house, along with a three-car garage, a potting shed, a 50-foot pool, a Tennis court, and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Despite RDJ’s status as Iron Man and his $300 million net worth, his home is neither futuristic nor eccentric. Instead, it exudes warmth and charm, with playful and unique decor that includes a Frankenstein windmill on the front lawn and various art projects by Robert.

The interior, furnished with the help of designer Joe Nahem and Fox-Nahem Associates, blends whimsy and sophistication. Highlights include a gourmet kitchen, a sunken living room with a massive wraparound wall piece by ceramic artist Peter Lane, and contemporary art throughout the house. The master bedroom features a sitting room with stunning artwork reminiscent of The Great Wave.

His homes reflect his playful spirit, Susan’s penchant for functionality and efficiency, and their combined creativity, making each property a special retreat.
