Activist investor Gregg Hymowitz, known for his mega-deals with hedge funders like Bill Ackman and Daniel Loeb, and his wife Marcella bought some land from Bruce Willis to build a house in Parrot Cay, a 1,000-acre private island and resort in Turks and Caicos Islands, according to an article in the New York Post.<\/p>\n
The $6 million transaction is for five oceanfront acres in an exclusive development with a COMO hotel, owned by Singaporean hotelier Christina Ong.<\/p>\n
Hymowitzs planned compound will feature a five-bedroom home and some guest homes for his brood, which include six children ranging in age from 27 to 15 months.<\/p>\n
Sources close to Hymowitz told The Post the financier finds the laid-back private island lifestyle vibe far more appealing than the Miami\/Palm Beach circuit.<\/p>\n
The listing brokers for the oceanfront lot were Sothebys Nina Siegenthaler and Joe Zahm.<\/p>\n
Parrot Cay includes private estates with owners like Keith Richards and Donna Karan both of whom have opted to put their homes up for rent through the COMO rental program.<\/p>\n
The Post said Willis was asking $6.9 million for the land, which was part of a larger compound that he sold in 2019 for $27 million.<\/p>\n
That property, which had been asking $33 million, included a five-bedroom home and two guest houses along with a pirate ship playground, four pools and a beachfront yoga pavilion.<\/p>\n
Willis married Emma Heming on Parrot Cay in 2009 and it is where the couple renewed their vows in 2019. Hymowitz reportedly plans to build a traditional compound with lots of dark wood and Asian, Bali-style influences.<\/p>\n
There are no cars on the island, just golf carts and its just a 3-hour flight, plus a brief boat ride away from Manhattan.<\/p>\n
