Ah, Sagaponack. While the hamlet is often ranked number one for expensive real estate in the United States, it also might be the most agricultural Hampton, where a farm field could overlook the ocean. Thus, it is only fitting that a 1.1-acre hobby farm on tony Daniels Lane would include a chicken coop that has won architectural awards. Architect magazine wrote of it, “The coop’s simple rounded form is clad in aluminum shingles whose folded edges cast shadows that change throughout the day. The ends of the coop are cedar siding. The eight residents benefit from radiant floor heating.” And of course, only in Sagaponack would a tiny hobby farm ask $9.95 million. It’s repped by Dana Trotter at Sotheby’s.
We adore this place. In addition to the chicken coop, there are numerous garden beds that produce organic fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and honey. (Any gardener would covet that outdoor slate sink.) Of course there’s a gorgeous gunite pool, with poolhouse gym, and the former barn has been converted into a chic guesthouse.
The farmhouse, built circa 1896, was renovated in 2014, fortunately keeping many period features. We think it’s a little over-renovated, but most people aren’t purists for old houses as we are, and the interiors are really pretty fabulous. Contemporary, so will appeal to everyone.
Now for the $9.95 million question: is it worth it? Who cares? It’s fabulous.
