Word comes that Sean Hannity is pulling the trigger on his promise to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and leaving the state.
Hannity, the well-known conservative radio show host who has railed against the high taxes and stifling government in the Empire State, wants to move to greener pastures, especially those without a state income tax, such as Texas and Florida, after Cuomo said “extreme conservatives … have no place in New York.”
Apparently, Hannity has all but taken Cuomo’s advice wholesale:
“I can’t wait to get out of here. I really can’t, I want to sell my house fast‘’ Hannity said, adding: “I don’t want to pay their 10 percent state tax anymore. I live in the second-highest property-taxed county in the entire country in Nassau County. I can’t wait to sell my house to somebody who wants it. I can’t wait to pay no state income tax down in Florida or Texas,” Hannity said.
According to a piece by Zillow reposted by Forbes, Hannity has listed his “gold coast” Long Island home for $3.6 million. The 8,000-square-foot beachfront home built in 2001 has four bedrooms, five and a half baths, and sits on 2 acres. That’s only one of the two homes he owns on Long Island.
Perhaps Hannity will take a cue from another conservative talk radio host who has moved to the Lone Star State: Glenn Beck. Beck, who has built his own compound in Las Colinas to produce his media empire, lives in a posh, spacious crib in the tres tony Vaquero.
So, if Sean Hannity follows Glenn Beck’s lead, where would Hannity find his new Texas home? Of course, there’s always Sean Payton’s Vaquero estate at 2006 Brazos, which comes with a basement-level disco. It has plenty of room and he and Beck could be neighbors!
Then again, maybe Hannity wants something more like the thoughtfully constructed Casa Santuario, which hits the auction block today? Perhaps he’s looking for something with history, like Robert Edsel’s incredible Bellosguardo? Or maybe something more remote and opulent, such as Champ d’Or?
Where do you think Hannity will move to?
