A rock ‘n’ roll photographer and his wife, who co-founded a “slow fashion” lifestyle brand with their daughters, have listed their East Quogue farmhouse and adjacent reserve for $4.9


million. Richard Imrie has photographed the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, James Taylor, David Bowie and Rod Stewart — his work has graced many album covers — while his wife Pippa co-founded Imrie,


which is now based in Hawaii. Pre-COVID, the brand also had a presence in the Hamptons and St. Barts. Their twin-parcel compound is in East Quogue, a hamlet of Southampton, at 140 and 144


Damascus Road. The area is now known as “the up-and-coming Brooklyn of the Hamptons,” said listing broker Palmer Gaget, of Douglas Elliman.  The property, known as Genesis Farm, features a


charming 3,666-square-foot farmhouse built around 25 years ago on just under an acre that’s adjacent to a 5-acre agricultural reserve. The reserve was “like a jungle when we bought it. It


took a while to tame it, plant it and till it,” Imrie said.  There’s also a barn with a loft space, but no bath, that once served as a photography studio and also as a magical place to host


guests.  “It was a nice little studio, for overflow from the house, and a nice place to have parties. Now we sort old photographs there,” Imrie added. “But it was a great place to have


dinner parties.”  MORE FROM JENNIFER GOULD The property also comes with a pool and is just minutes from the ocean.  Both parcels were purchased, separately, for around $900,000 starting


around 25 years ago, Richard said, adding that it was the “going rate at the time.” They tore down a ranch house, kept the footprint and built a two-story farmhouse with oak trucked in from


one of Pennsylvania’s Amish communities — where Richard’s son “had some contacts.”  The farmhouse comes with four bedrooms and three and a half baths.   Design details inside the farmhouse


include exposed beams, wide-plank wood floors, high ceilings and a classic, white-washed aesthetic. There’s a guest bedroom suite on the main floor, with additional bedrooms above. The


kitchen and living room feature vaulted ceilings. There’s also a cozy fireplace — and plenty of room for family gatherings — including space for 11 grandchildren.  “It can get chaotic. I


like to keep a dog-free and child-free living room. But it doesn’t always happen,” Richard said.
