This palatial Remsenburg estate may leave you thinking you are in Palm Beach, rather than eastern Long Island.

A new listing in East Hampton Village’s estate section offers two separate, but contiguous lots that offer the opportunity for a compound close to the ocean beaches and village center.

As the temperatures rise, so does the intensity to find the perfect summer home. There are several open houses this weekend, including one with spectacular water views, which will have you looking forward to summer nights on the bay. 

This 4,000-square-foot home blends modern design with traditional village living with incredible outdoor spaces.

Julianne Moore and her director husband, Bart Freundlich, have finally sold her cottage on Fort Pond in Montauk for $2.85 million, six years after first listing it for $3.5 million.

This Redwood home, listed with Douglas Elliman’s Enzo Morabito, offers panoramic views of Sag Harbor Cove and has its own private dock.

Billionaire investor James Chanos, sold his Further Lane property for $59.5 million last month, while the estate of the Life Savers heiress sold for $60 million last week, in what will likely be one of the top sales of 2021.

What resulted from the real estate boom during the COVID-19 pandemic was a lack of turn-key inventory, and now buyers are turning to what land is available to create their own haven out east.

“Homes in the Hamptons continue to be selling quickly,” said Jennifer Friedberg of Brown Harris Stevens, “and the lion’s share​ ​of buyers have been focusing on properties that are turnkey, provide space for work from home situations, ideally located — and have a pool.”

So far, the average number of sold listings per week for 2021 has been about 24 properties. But don’t let that fool you. Demand is just as high as it was a few months ago.
