other · 2026-05-02

Hyman Golden, who co-founded Snapple, has listed his stunning waterfront home in Hewlett Bay Park, New York, for $15 million. Known as the Snapple House, this impressive 11,000-square-foot property sits on about two acres and boasts 240 feet of waterfront on Macy Channel. Golden and his wife Mitzi built this residence in the 1990s after selling Snapple to Quaker Oats for $1.7 billion. Designed by architect Norman Wax and constructed by Qualico Contracting, the house is cleverly angled at 45 degrees to maximize water views. It includes five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a primary suite with dual walk-in closets, plus a wine cellar stocked with Snapple bottles and a cabana featuring a kitchen and sauna. The property has even hosted a birthday bash for 300 people. The sale is being handled by Shawn Elliott, Zach Elliott, and Richard Golden, and it might set a new local record, surpassing the current $9.5 million.
