Here in the Hamptons, nothing succeeds like excess. The bigger, the blingier, the better, especially in our homes. If you’re finding your current 10,000 square feet a little cramped, here are ten options that will allow you to spread out a little. (Note: to make things easier, all the square footage of shelter available at the listing has been added together. La Dune, for example, includes two large houses that add up to 22,000 square feet.)
