The Hampton Classic Horse Show wraps up a summer of riding for many on the East End. Some ride competitively and for others it’s just a hobby and then for many more, who attend the Classic, especially for the Grand Prix on Sunday, horses are simply admired. No matter how involved with horses you are, it’s always a good time to take a peek at what’s on the market when it comes to equestrian properties on both the South and North Forks.
Hamptons
Town Lane, Amagansett | $22.5 million
6 West Pond Drive, Bridgehampton | $15,850,000
Khalily Stables, south of the highway at the corner of Newlight Lane — and not far from the Hampton Classic Horse Show — is an authentic equestrian facility on more than 19 acres. The stables boast 27 large stalls between two barns, 15 lush grass paddocks, two riding fields and two riding arenas with all-weather footing. There are accommodations for on-site staff, including a one-bedroom, one-bathroom manager/trainer apartment featuring a kitchen and two-bedroom housing with a shared bathroom.
Rock ‘n’ roll legend Bruce Springsteen’s daughter, Jessica Springsteen, who won a silver medal with the U.S. Equestrian Team at the postponed 2020 Olympics in Toyoko last year, and Jennifer Gates, the daughter of billionaire Bill Gates, are both said to have ridden at Campbell Stables when it was owned by the late Robert Campbell, a shoe executive behind BBC International, a leading children’s and athletic footwear design and sourcing company.
Edward Khalily, a former principal at Long Island-based WEGO Chemical & Mineral Corp. and a Sagaponack homeowner, purchased the luxe horse farm from Campbell’s estate in 2021. Khalily’s granddaughter, Layla, is an equestrian.
Suffolk County deed transfer records show that 6 West Pond Drive LLC purchased the property for a total of $14 million on August 13, 2021 in two transactions, one for $13.15 million and one for $850,000.
It is now listed with M. Monica Novo of Douglas Elliman.

Known as East End Stables, the 14.8-acre farm is located close to the Village of East Hampton and includes a 50-stall barn, two outdoor rings, an indoor arena and a five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath converted barn house, overlooking the property.
