Brandon Miller’s widow, Candice Miller, is facing a difficult decision as she looks to sell the heavily-mortgaged Hamptons property that provided a dreamy backdrop for her Instagram feed but was also the scene of her husband’s apparent suicide. The Water Mill home at 25 Cobb Isle Road is now listed for $15.5 million, showcasing its seven bedrooms, 8,700 square feet of living space, and over an acre of land. The shingle-style home boasts five fireplaces, an outdoor living and dining area, and a pool house, making it a luxurious retreat in the exclusive enclave of Water Mill.
Brandon Miller purchased the property in 2011 for $3.2 million and developed it under the entity Cobb Isle Cottage LLC. He completed the home in 2013 and transferred it to his name. Additionally, Miller’s company, Real Estate Equities Corporation (REEC), developed and sold an adjacent property at 29 Cobb Isle Road, which is also on the market for $14.5 million. Water Mill is known for its high-end real estate and prestigious residents, making it a sought-after location in the Hamptons.
Tragically, the Water Mill house became the site of Brandon Miller’s suicide, where he rigged a white Porsche Carrera to poison himself in the attached three-car garage. His death on July 3 at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital left behind a complex financial situation, with unfinished real estate projects and delinquent payments. Miller had taken out multiple loans on the property, including a $1 million mortgage from bridge lender Titan Capital, which led to a lawsuit from the lender over missed payments shortly before his death.
In the years leading up to his passing, Brandon Miller struggled with mounting debts and financial difficulties. He obtained a $3.25 million mortgage from Titan in 2017, followed by a $6.2 million loan from UBS in 2021, and another $1 million loan from Titan that same year. In 2022, Miller satisfied a mortgage from Titan and took out a $2 million mortgage from the same lender, as well as a $2 million mortgage from Stevens Financial Group. A final $208,000 mortgage from Funding Club LLC was recorded just days before his death, highlighting the extent of his financial troubles.
Candice Miller, a well-known influencer and lifestyle blogger, was unaware of the extent of her husband’s financial issues until shortly before his death when a creditor informed her. Despite Brandon’s reassurances that he was addressing the situation, his financial woes continued to escalate. As Candice navigates the aftermath of her husband’s passing, she faces the challenging task of selling the Water Mill property to settle his debts and move forward with her life.
The story of Brandon Miller’s real estate ventures, financial struggles, and tragic death has captivated public attention, shedding light on the complexities of wealth, fame, and personal challenges. As Candice Miller seeks to sell the Hamptons property that once symbolized luxury and success but now represents a painful chapter in her life, she must confront the realities of her husband’s legacy and the difficult decisions that lie ahead.
