History is made!
The #1 Most Expensive Sale in the Hamptons was the 55-acre estate called Tyndal Point in North Haven — yes, North of the Highway. Robert Rust sold to Jeffrey Greene, both of Palm Beach, for $36 million. Mr. Greene wisely took advantage of the current market conditions and purchased an extraordinary piece of the East End. Frankly, it was a great deal. Mr. Greene and many others have discovered the beauty of the farms, vineyards, and water ways that grace north of the highway. Many years ago, Edward S. Gordon opened the floodgates when he moved from the ocean in Bridgehampton to north of the highway.
Another key factor to note, is that all Top 10 Sales are over $20M. We have not seen that since 2007— which was THE year for high-end sales.
Town & Country Quarterly Reports and Year End statistics have been showing the increase in high end sales that began in the 2nd half of 2010 and continued through 2011.
