This interesting property, which consists of two parcels right on Georgica Pond with ocean views, first came to market in 2015 asking $45 million.

This property has been on the market for three long years now. Original asking price was $8.85 million, which we didn’t think was out of line. Now the asking price is a slightly ridiculous $6.1 million, which might be land value by now. Listing agents are Terry Thompson and Tania Deighton at Douglas Elliman. Check…

This petite (1650 square feet) home at 24 Cosdrew Lane in East Hampton’s Northwest Woods still offers three bedrooms and two baths.
