THE HAMPTONS’ MOST EXCLUSIVE HUB
Founded in 1648 by Puritan farmers, in the early years the village of East Hampton was a farming community with fishing and whaling. In the late 19th century, after extension of the railway to Bridgehampton, visitors began to summer, at first in boarding houses on Main Street, then in “cottages,” which sometimes were substantial estates, built on former farms and pastures in the village. Shingle style architecture was popular from the 1880s.
By the early 1890s the prices commanded for cottage sites were as high as $10 thousand an acre. Widely regarded as one of the country’s most beautiful areas, with miles of white sandy beach, East Hampton is a world-famous ocean-side resort just 100 miles from New York City. The town offers a wide range of fine restaurants, boutiques, art galleries and theater, world class country clubs, excellent sailing, fishing and riding stables. This parcel can accommodate a sizeable home with pool and is in strolling distance to the ocean beach.
East Hampton is a wonderful resort town in new York, with the population close to 22,000 people. There are great vacation opportunities offered by the town. Those who like exploring new territories can enjoy some historic buildings and a historic mill, and those who enjoy active lifestyle can go in for hiking, boating, etc.
Celebrities, artists and weekenders converge here
Set against a backdrop of charming shake-shingle cottages, historic windmills and rambling English gardens lies the bustling town center of East Hampton. Here you will find a Main Street lined with Madison Avenue-caliber boutiques and designer shops, along with some of the East End’s finest dining. Spotting a celebrity at Citarella or the table next to you at Babette’s is the norm. On a Saturday afternoon, it’s practically impossible not to run into someone you know — whether a couple you met at the benefit the night before or your neighbor from the city. East Hampton beaches are world-class, but parking and permits make public access challenging.
Cottages with window boxes and expansive oceanfront estates
With a cast of notable residents, a busy social calendar of fundraisers and tennis tournaments, and some of the most exclusive addresses, East Hampton is perhaps the most exclusive East End enclave. From the historic homes along Egypt Lane, with their lush lawns, thick hydrangea plants and dense hedges, to the sprawling beachfront estates along Apaquogue Road, East Hampton properties offer a mix of old and new — but all of it is very pricey. It’s also the home of the storied estate Grey Gardens.
