I have been hearing about Sir Ivan's Castle in Watermill since the first week I ventured out here. At 15,000 square feet it has two towers with separate master suites, 10 bathroom, spa, gym, billiard and game rooms, themed guest bedrooms (Roman, Egyptian and Balinese), a Versace-inspired infinity pool, tennis courts, NBA Basketball court and sand volleyball court. Best of all? It has a MOAT complete with a drawbridge.
So just who is this Sir Ivan???
Sir Ivan: Banker-turned-singer, peace activist and television celebrity, Sir Ivan has led a life that movies and dreams are made of. Ivan Wilzig, the eldest son of Siggi B. Wilzig; Auschwitz survivor, legendary financier and philanthropist – turned his back on his family’s multi-billion dollar banking business to reinvent himself as Sir Ivan and follow his dream of pursuing a career in music.
He also recently took center stage at Metro NY Balloon & Music Festival at Calabro Airport in Brookhaven, opening for Destiny's Child.
Summer's not over yet, and I plan on checking out the Castle in the very near future;)

The parties at the castle are out-of-this-world insane. The whole place is pretty much a creepshow. And be prepared to get kinky. Sir Ivan lets strangers in based on their "vibe." I saw him turn herds of baby models away last time I was there just because he wasn't "feeling" them. I don't even write about it because what happens at the castle stays at the castle. It's better that way!
