A restored 19th-century farmhouse has just hit Hampton’s real estate market for approximately $12.5 million. The beautiful 30-acre property offers a secluded, private estate with views of the ocean.
The 3,329-square-foot home is described as elegant, but not flashy. The farmhouse structure lends a comforting, homey feel to the large house. There are four structures on the property—the main house, a two-story barn, a secondary barn, and a detached garage. The home is surrounded by 30 acres of protected farmland, a rarity in the Hamptons where demand for homes is very high. With developers constantly buying up land to build new homes, having a large swath of protected property is a true luxury. The new owner of the home will not have to worry about any building impeding the 270-degree views of the fields and ocean. Today’s construction codes would not support the building of new structures on the land, which combined with the protections on the land means nothing new will be constructed there for generations to come.
“The property was a farmstead dating back to at least the early 19th century,” says Preston Kaye, co-founder of Hamptons-based real estate brokerage Hedgerow Exclusive Properties. “It continues to have its farmstead structures, including two large barns, which underwent extensive restoration in the 1990s. The property itself is one of the most unique in all of Sagaponack South.”
Sagaponack is ranked as one of the most expensive zip codes in the country. Known for its million-dollar mansions and white sand beaches, the area is home to some of the state’s most impressive real estate. The farm-style home at 435 Hedges Lane is no exception. The main home has classic farmhouse elements like a large, covered front porch, original wide-plank wood floors, a library with built-in bookshelves, and multiple fireplaces. Spread between its three floors are five bedrooms, with the ones on the upper floors featuring terraces that overlook the farmlands. The property is ideal for those who frequently host guests and throw parties. The two additional barns are finished and ideal for hosting indoor-outdoor parties with a large amount of guests.
“The barns present a myriad of options for potential use, including tremendous sheltered storage or ‘rain or shine’ parties, which can accommodate large numbers in a completely unique and attractive setting,” Kaye tells Robb Report. “With views of the adjacent fields, they have been used for everything from art classes, wedding receptions, and even the annual summer fundraising gathering of the Peconic Land Trust.”
The grounds are topped off with an in-ground swimming pool, set away from the house that guarantees users beautiful views of the fields beyond. Whoever purchases this incredible property will surely find themselves inundated with requests to visit and explore the house and grounds.
The house is also situated near the beach, farmer’s markets, art galleries, upscale boutiques, and restaurants, typical of the area. Sagaponack is located in Southampton, in the middle of the Hamptons region.
The property is currently listed with Hedgerow Exclusive Properties for $12.495 million.
