During open houses this weekend, step inside the home at 20 Downs Path in Southampton Village, perfect for entertaining both indoors and out.

Nest Seekers International’s Dylan Eckardt, the self-proclaimed Prince of Montauk, had told Behind The Hedges recently that he secured the asking price after a so-called bidding war.

The property at 32 Lighthouse Road in Hamptons, just north of the Ponquogue Bridge over to Dune Road, was listed at $3.995 million for eight months.

Oceanfront houses are not usually where one might think of finding a farm-to-table garden, but that’s what this Quogue home delivers. 

In this week’s market update, we take a deep dive into the recent increase in days to contract.

Gurney’s resort beach club, which requires a $30,000 fee for seasonal membership, is nearby this 5,400-square-foot home and a two-year membership is being offered to sweeten the pot.

Campbell Stables, located at 6 West Pond Drive at the corner of Newlight Lane, sits on 16.5 acres and includes a 2.6-acre agricultural reserve lot.

The home at 47D South Ferry Road on Shelter Island, new to the market, offers a panoramic view over Coecles Harbor for $6.4 million.
