Don’t be surprised if you see the Stallone sisters — Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet — in the Hamptons sometime soon. We hear their father, “Rocky” legend Sylvester Stallone, is in contract to buy them a highly designed eight-bedroom home in East Hampton, Gimme Shelter can reveal. The contract is for close to the home’s $24.95 million asking price — and it’s an all-cash deal, sources say. The sale has not yet closed, meaning the final price is not yet available. The purchase, we hear, is the talk of Palm Beach — where Hell’s Kitchen native Sly, 77, and his wife, former model Jennifer Flavin, 55, are living as empty nesters in a $35 million mansion. Spies say Stallone bought the residence sight unseen following two video tours. The daughters’ relocation from Hollywood to the East Coast was featured in the second season of “The Family Stallone” on Paramount+. Stallone even had Sophia and Sistine, who live in the Big Apple, train with Navy SEALs to prepare for their big move. Scarlet, who lives in Miami for college, was exempted. The new-construction spread was developed by interior designer James Michael Howard, who is known for his impeccable Southern charm and style. The dwelling comes fully furnished — curated with pricey antiques from around the world, custom furnishings, art and finishes. It’s also turn-key ready. Everything is custom, from the brass hardware that Howard designed — to the lighting, and hand-painted floors and walls created by artisans, many of whom were flown in for the work. Howard even drew the rug patterns and sizes to fit the rooms and had them made in places like Nepal, an insider said. The 11,644-square-foot home is also just a mile from the ocean. The residence also has its own splashy amenities. It comes with a pool and a pool house — all on 1.1 acres. The home opens to a double-height foyer and a dramatic staircase. There’s also a great room, an eat-in chef’s kitchen that serves as the mansion’s anchor — along with a formal dining room, a family room with a woodburning fireplace, a radiant-heated mudroom and a main bedroom suite. More bedrooms are on the second floor, including a junior suite with a balcony. Downstairs, there’s a screening room and more bedrooms. Listing brokers Martha Gundersen and Paul Brennan of Douglas Elliman declined to comment. The “Rocky” star reportedly offered all cash for the eight-bedroom abode, which boasts nearly 12,000 square feet of living space and sits on more than one acre of land. The Tulsa King actor lives in Palm Beach with his wife, the former Jennifer Flavin, with whom he has daughters, Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet. The 11,6640-square-foot house at 9 Hither Lane, designed by the celebrated James Michael Howard and went into contract this week. It was offered mostly furnished with many custom pieces by the designer, who Behind The Hedges is told hand curated the selection of art, antiques, and custom rugs throughout, which can take a year in advance. The eight-bedroom home was just completed in June and was immediately rented for the summer season through October for $1.4 million, according to Douglas Elliman. The home sold with only three or four showings, according to Gundersen. “The buyers instantly fell in love with it, and with good reason, because there is nothing else like it,” she says. “James Michael Howard absolutely put his heart and soul into this home. It’s his best work, in my opinion, and the culmination of his brilliant decorating career. I greatly admire how he carefully curates and selects artists, especially decorative painters from around the globe, to enhance the intricate details of his architectural projects. By integrating their unique styles and talents, he ensures each home is truly one-of-a-kind, with bespoke elements that elevate the overall design and craftsmanship.” “This is the seventh house I have represented for Jim Howard since he started doing projects in the Hamptons,” DePersia told  Hedges. “Hither Lane could be his most spectacular to date so little wonder why it found a buyer, much less a celebrity, so quickly.” The 1.12-acre gated property is considered “pre-existing, non-conforming,” under current zoning codes, which “offered a rare opportunity for this beautiful build that would be impossible to replicate. It’s nothing short of a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Gundersen adds. McAlpine Tankersley Architecture, P.C. designed the home with a classical look. A double-height foyer shows off a striking staircase, and leads into the great room with custom-made wallpaper, a fireplace with andirons by Diego Giacometti from Switzerland and a mantel made by Jam from London, and custom star knobs and solid brass star pulls and chain lifts on windows. The chef’s kitchen, complete with marble countertops, a large center island with oversized Mick de Giulio sink, and a windowed 12-seat banquet, features top-of-the-line appliances including two 36-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezers, a Lacanche range, a 30-inch Wolf speed oven and a 30-inch Wolf electric oven. The formal dining room is decorated with Emile Jacques Ruhlmann chairs, a Tobacco leaf cabinet with palm wood handles and green lacquer cabinetry. The paneled and coffered family room boasts a wood-burning fireplace with brass zig-zag andirons by John Lyle and inlaid fire brick, Selenite custom chandelier lights and a vintage 1940s enfilade below the 75-inch television. There is a radiant-heated mudroom with a powder room. The primary suite is situated on the main floor and features a domed ceiling, a fireplace, curtains with embroidered design by custom Coco Chanel dress and a covered patio. The luxurious bathroom includes a steam shower, a tub, cabinets in pho ivory, custom vanities in stainless and antique brass and Tesserae flooring. A junior primary suite with a fireplace in the bathroom can be found on the second floor, along with three en suite guest bedrooms, one with a private balcony overlooking the property. An expansive lower level provides recreational space with a Domino marble gas fireplace mantel, and, currently features a custom made, one-of-a-kind pool table that Howard designed, Domino marble fireplace mantel. The lower level also holds a movie theater, a bar, a bathroom with a steam shower and additional guest bedrooms, one being a bunk room four rope beds, custom by Howard. There is also a laundry room with dual washers/dryers. A covered outdoor living room with beige madras stone patios overlooks the 48-by-18-foot heated gunite pool with a sun deck and a separate, circular spa. A pool cabana features a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by bluestone patios. Michael Derrig designed the landscaping, which was installed by Verderbers Landscape Nursery. There is also a detached two-car garage with lofted storage, a covered living porch, multiple garden and dining areas and an outdoor shower. Less than a mile from the ocean and a quick drive to the village, this is a prime location for just about anyone. If and when the Rocky star closes on the house, we will be sure to report the final figure. And, if anyone is looking for another James Michael Howard build, DePersia has one listed in Bridgehampton for $20.95 million, which he previously sold several years ago to the family that owns it now. “This is a perfect option for someone looking for a highly stylized, fully furnished house originally done by Howard not as far east as East Hampton,” he says of the 11,600-square-foot home at 70 Matthews Lane.
