Today comes news that “Twin Peaks” (yes, queue Angelo Badalamenti music now) has finally sold after 5.5 years on the market. Kean Development, which built the ridiculously lavish house (two kitchens–one for the family, one for the hired chef–putting green on the roof, two lane bowling alley, on and on […]
An Amagansett Gwathmey, all renovated for the 21st century
This house, designed by Charles Gwathmey in the late 70s, still sports many of the built-in furnishings the master created for it. It’s snuggled in the Amagansett Dunes, about a block from the beach. The current owners purchased the place in 2014 for $4.25 million and then renovated; changing the […]
Société du Vin sold: our world has turned to ashes
Back in 2013, we were charmed by the ridiculously over-the-top decorations for Société du Vin, a wine club started by Leslie Alexander, billionaire (and former owner of the Houston Rockets). Alexander spent $5 million over a couple of years to turn an old Bridgehampton potato barn into a wine storage […]
Here’s the new home of The Dunes rehab facility
The Dunes, the exceedingly upscale (read: expensive) rehab facility, has purchased a property in Southampton. From what we understand, the organization was renting its previous spot on Bull Path, East Hampton. The new property is at 15 Lohan Court in North Sea, close to the bay, and frankly seems ideal […]

Some interesting Hamptons real estate closings reported this week
As always, there are a few interesting points to glean from real estate closings this week. First up is 794 Montauk Highway, Water Mill. This is 6.4 acres of vacant land (immediately east of the Water Mill Shoppes) that, since 1986 or so, has had various planned uses, including a […]
Bespoke says Jule Pond is in contract for a Hamptons record sum
We honestly have a lot of time for Bespoke. Back in the day, people snorted at the Vichinsky brothers founding a brokerage for $10 million and up properties, but we have to admit: those folks get the job done. Time after time they’ve managed to sell trophy properties that no […]
Asking $37 million, a Meadow Lane teardown is now in contract
The house doesn’t matter, folks. The listing for this oceanfront property, at 1210 Meadow Lane, Southampton, doesn’t even bother showing the interiors. (Although judging how terrible the dated 1980s post-mod exterior is, we’re kinda dying to see in the inside….and oddly, the house only sports three bedrooms.) This property, now […]
