Realty Check

Wrong of Way
British rocker Roger Waters of Pink Floyd “has beenat war for three years over a right-of-way that gives his neighbors on Quimby Lane access to Sag Pond,” according to Richard Johnson in the New York Post. Apparently Waters’ neighbors have objected to the rock star’s builder, Benzz Krupinski, driving equipment down the shared right-of-way, so they blocked traffic with a chain. “But Krupinski tore down the chain and paved the right-of-way, turning it into Waters’ driveway. One neighbor claims that a judge has issued an order blocking Waters from using the road. A friend of Waters, however, insists the neighbor is “crazy.”

Flying High
While the East Hampton town fathers try to come up with a plan to lower airport noise, yet another private airline has announced it will be servicing the New York (actually White Plains) to Hamptons route. Beacon will shuttle passengers in small planes (fewer than 10 people). Called the “Netflix of the air,” the airline is based on an “all-you-can-fly” subscription model offering members unlimited flights between New York, the Hamptons, Boston, and Nantucket for $2,000 a month.

High Flying
The Blade aviation app, which launched last year to fly bigwigs from the Hamptons to area airports for less than $695, has hired filmmaker Brett Ratner known for the Rush Hour series and the black comedy, Horrible Bosses, “to produce a glossy television commercial for Blade’s new airport helicopter transfer service, Bounce,” according to London’s DailyMail.com. The ad “features beard model Luke Ditella picking up his comely date for a quick flight at Blade’s swanky heliport lounge on Manhattan’s East Side.” A kind of Uber for choppers, Blade allows you to book a flight within 20 minutes of takeoff.

Bravo Housewife
The tabloids have been in heaven, screaming headlines about how the soon-to-be-divorced Ramona Singer, the wild-eyed New York City Housewife of the BRAVO Housewife franchise, must sell the Southampton house she owns with her “cheating husband.” The six bedroom, six bathroom house with tennis courts and pool will be rented out for the summer then listed for sale, a source told Radar Online.

Ira in Trouble
A federal jury has found billionaire Ira Rennert liable for looting a mining company to help pay for construction of his Sagaponack estate. Ordered to pay $118 million in damages, he was also charged another $95 million for 14 years of interest, for a total of $213 million. The Real Deal claims that Rennert’s property, boasting a 62,000-square-foot main house with 29 bedrooms, 39 bathrooms, 164-seat theater and 100-car garage, is worth $500 million in today’s market. Forbes puts Rennert’s net worth at $6.3 billion.

Oceans 14
Word is that George Clooney is an investor in the Discovery Land Company, the firm behind developing the Hills at Southampton in East Quogue and a new project where Dune Deck in Westhampton Beach has resided for eons. The New York Post reported that the company is backed by Amals hubby along with Cindy Crawfords other half, restaurateur Rande Gerber, and billionaire Ron Burkle. Scuttlebutt has it that the eight-acre oceanfront Dune Deck property, which sold last spring for circa $19 million, will be torn down.

Land Ho!
Future farmers take note: the Peconic Land Trust is reselling a parcel of land on Uncle Leo’s Lane in Water Mill as part of an effort by the Trust to make farmland affordable and accessible for farmers to grow food. For the past 50 years, a single family has used the 13.9 acres to grow potatoes and corn. The price: $360,796.87.

Talking Trash
Contractor William Koral filed a complaint with Southampton police, accusing former New York Rangers player Sean Avery of twice leaving his trash in his dumpster at the Water Mill Station complex, according to Page Six. Finding a bag with mail belonging to Avery and his model fiancee, Hilary Rhoda, the Koral Bros. partner returned it unceremoniously to the hockey honcho’s property.

Growing Guardianship
Congrats to the Peconic Bay Regional Community Preservation Fund, which has reached the billiondollar mark, having produced a total of $1.00089 billion since it began in 1999. “The true measure of its success is not the level of revenue, but the more than 10,000 acres that have been protected across the East End,” announced Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. Financed by a 2% tax on real estate sales, the CPF was founded to preserve open space and farmland in the five East End townships (Southampton, East Hampton, Southold, Riverhead and Shelter Island).
