Owner Jayma Cardoso is famous for biking to her office in the Surf Lodge from her surf shack in Ditch Plains—which is now in contract.

The 20th century. Feh. Feh, we say! Sure, some good things happened: global public health initiatives. The computer revolution. Walking on the moon. The Big Mac. Feminism. Box wine. All wonderful things, but then there on the other side are two world wars, the 1918 flu epidemic, atom bombs, recessions and depressions, and Pizza Hut….

This is a very nice house–a standout architecturally. Today, it seems as though most new construction is either the “all white with black framed windows and a clear garage door” look or “wooden box with random small windows.” We’re not huge fans of either, frankly. But this place is different. It combines a traditional gable…

You still get much more for your money west of the Shinnecock Canal–however, it sure seems that prices are always rising. Some of these new-builds are very stylish and should appeal to anyone. But, being in Quogue and Westhampton Beach, a buyer will pay about half what they’d pay for oceanfront in Sagaponack and Bridgehampton….

This is a really interesting, complex property (with three addresses!) with an equally interesting history. Now, it is a strangely shaped 12-acre site divided into 7 separate parcels. On one of the highest elevations in Southampton, the property boasts beautiful water views and is itself bayfront. There’s a 3-story house, which, according to the listing,…

This sweet 1880 cottage, in Southampton Village on the south side of Hill Street, is simply delightful. From the hedged entrance with gate, to the copper beech tree, to the brick terrace, vegetable gardens and picket fences, it’s all sweet outside.

Bad part: the house itself is very dated. Think we’re joking? Check it out:   Yeah. As the listing delicately notes,…

This rather attractive oceanfront property, on Old Montauk Highway, was originally listed last summer asking $21 million. A number of properties on the same road were listed about the same time, at about the same price, including Bernie Madoff’s old estate at 216 OMH. Some have sold, some haven’t. The owner of this place is…

Choreographer, director, dancer, and producer Jerome Robbins–perhaps best known for West Side Story–loved his humble Bridgehampton hideaway. He died in 1998, leaving this property to the Jerome Robbins Foundation, which is now selling it. (He loved the place so much his ashes were scattered on the beach/ocean in front of the property.) Proceeds from the…

While the North Fork doesn’t usually command the kind of blockbuster prices the South Fork does, a top ten list of properties available there is interesting. Many of the highest priced listings have quite a bit of land attached to them, preserving Nofo’s unspoiled agricultural feel. In this list, you’ll see several farms and vineyards,…
