Few films captured excess quite like Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street. Now one of the houses that helped define its world of wealth and indulgence is on the market. The French château-style estate in Mill Neck, on New York’s Long Island, whose exterior appeared in the 2013 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has been listed for close to $10 million.
It is worth clearing up one common misconception: this was a filming location, not the real home of Jordan Belfort, the stockbroker whose memoir inspired the movie. The film used the property’s exterior, while Belfort himself lived elsewhere on Long Island’s Gold Coast.
Why This Mansion Became a Hollywood Icon
The Wolf of Wall Street was a global hit, earning five Oscar nominations and turning Belfort’s story into pop-culture legend. Its locations became part of the fantasy, and this turreted mansion, set on landscaped grounds, perfectly matched the image of new money on the North Shore.
More than a decade later, the house still draws attention because people recognise it, even if they have never been to Long Island.
The Architecture
Built in 2010, the home is designed in the style of a French château, complete with a turret, steep rooflines and tall windows. It sits on almost 5 acres (4.95 acres) on Calf Farm Road in the heart of the village of Mill Neck, one of the most exclusive enclaves on Long Island’s Gold Coast.
The architecture blends Old World references with modern construction, giving buyers the look of a historic estate without the maintenance headaches of a century-old house.
Inside the House
The interiors are generous rather than flashy. The home has six bedrooms, including a large main suite, and seven bathrooms, with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto balconies and views of the grounds.
The open-plan kitchen features bespoke wood cabinetry, a brick pizza oven and three dishwashers, a sign of a house designed for entertaining. A butler’s pantry leads to the main dining room, which has a wet bar and wine cooler, and there is a dedicated wine cellar as well as a bar and hot tub.
Outside, a heated saltwater pool and a pond with a waterfall create a resort-like feel. For equestrian buyers, there is a barn with space for ten horses, a tack room and an apartment for a farm manager.
Does a Movie Appearance Add Value?
Appearing in a famous film does not automatically raise a property’s price, but it can raise its profile. A recognisable house attracts more interest, more media coverage and sometimes buyers who are drawn to the story as much as the bricks and mortar.
In practice, most of the value still comes from location, land, size and quality. The Hollywood connection works more like a powerful marketing hook.
The Price History
The estate has been on and off the market for years. It was first listed in 2015 at $14.5 million, then re-listed and eventually reduced to $9.9 million in 2022 with Douglas Elliman. It returned to the market again in 2025 at a similar level. That pattern is not unusual for large, highly specific luxury homes, which can take time to find the right buyer.
At around $10 million, buyers get nearly five acres, a large modern house, equestrian facilities and one of the best addresses on the North Shore.
How Luxury Estates Are Prepared for Sale
Homes at this level are marketed very differently from ordinary properties. Sellers typically invest in professional staging, high-end photography, video tours and drone footage. Viewings are often private and by appointment only, and agents rely heavily on their networks to reach qualified buyers quietly.
For a property with a film connection, the story becomes part of the pitch, helping it stand out in a crowded luxury market.
Hollywood and Real Estate
Homes linked to famous films and celebrities have long fascinated buyers. Properties from movies like The Godfather, Home Alone and Scarface attract enormous public interest whenever they are listed. That attention can translate into faster sales or broader buyer pools, even if the price premium is modest.
Luxury Living Beyond the Screen
Strip away the film connection and the house still has plenty going for it. Mill Neck is about 50 minutes from Manhattan, five minutes from the village of Oyster Bay and within easy reach of the Hamptons. The area is known for large estates, privacy and green space, making it a favourite for wealthy families and horse lovers.
A Property That Outlives the Film
Movies come and go, but well-built homes in great locations endure. The Mill Neck château will always carry a little of The Wolf of Wall Street‘s glamour, but its next owner will be buying a genuine estate, not just a piece of movie history.
