Donald Trump Jr. really loves his guns.

The president’s oldest son almost passed on a luxurious vacation mansion in the Hamptons because it was missing a dedicated room to store his voluminous collection of firearms, according to the New York Post.

But Trump, 41, and his girlfriend, former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, 50, decided to take the $4.5 million home in Bridgehampton, NY, anyway. The National Rifle Association supporter plans to add a custom gun room to the seven-bedroom home in the ritzy enclave outside of New York City. The house is now under contract, according to the Post.

He went turkey hunting before joining his father at the NRA’s annual meeting on Friday in Indianapolis, according to USA Today.

Donald Trump Jr. reportedly did not want to buy a home without a gun room.

The 9,200-square-foot home in a gated community sits on 3.9 acres boasting a heated pool with a waterfall and access to a 25-acre kettle pond. The couple and their respective kids can walk to the beach or to the nearby restaurants and shops.

The mansion is big enough to accommodate Trump’s five children and Guilfoyle’s son. Trump, executive vice president at his father’s real estate company the Trump Organization, and his wife of 12 years, Vanessa Trump, divorced last year. Guilfoyle was married twice, including to former Democratic Mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom.

The president’s son made real estate news last spring when he and his brother Eric Trump reportedly bought their aunt Maryanne Trump Barry‘s $18.5 million Palm Beach, FL, mansion. They then turned around and rented it out for $100,000 a month.

The waterfront property, initially listed for $23.9 million, is across the street from their father’s favorite getaway, Mar-a-Lago. The brothers are linked to the 1125 South Ocean LLC, which purchased the mansion.

Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle are reportedly under contract to purchase this Hamptons home.
