The most expensive estates in Southampton Village range from a century-old traditional to modern marvels. While the selections are diverse, these five homes that top the real estate market all have luxury in common. These are the homes you’ll never want to leave.
Gin Lane, $50,000,000
This 3.77-acre estate on the Atlantic Ocean had been off the market for more than half a century. Set back from the shore is a Tudor guesthouse that dates back to 1900 and a carriage house offering a total of 12 bedrooms and nine baths. What is really spectacular about 28 Gin Lane is the opportunity to build a 15,000-square-foot main house with endless views of the sea. The spacious property also offers potential for a guesthouse, pool and tennis court. Whatever the shape of the dream home, this is the ideal location.
9 Olde Towne Lane, $45,000,000
Just completed in the new 43-acre Olde Towne community, Twin Peaks is a stately 16,000-square-foot shingle and stone masonry residence with all high-end, modern appointments and state-of-the-art amenities. The 4-acre grounds feature a 60’ by 34’ gunite pool—with pool house—and a tennis court. The residence comes fully furnished and beautifully decorated. When Olde Towne is complete the community, which borders both public parkland and a preserve, will have 10 estates by Cold Spring Harbor’s Kean Development, each on 4-acre lots. Olde Towne is also home to more then 400 mature trees transplanted there beginning in 2009, plus a flowering meadow and a shared green.

Meadowmere Magic

Murray-McDonnell Majesty
Squabble Lane, $36,500,000
With the Atlantic to the south and Wickapogue Pond to the north—and being the last house on the street—this 4.5-acre property in the historic Murray-McDonnell compound offers unparalleled quieted and privacy. The shingle-style residence designed by Francis Fleetwood in 2003 is 6,700 square feet with seven bedroom and nine and a half baths, plus a dining room, a breakfast room, a sitting room, a dining terrace and more.
