Windmill Crossing – Water Mill

By HRES Staff
May 28, 2015

The land had been on the market for quite awhile because “people didn’t know what to do with the eight-foot grade” that ran from one end of the property to the other. But that was no obstacle for Lindy Woolcott, who after having purchased the Water Mill parcel met three different parties who had all considered buying it before finally chickening out. In fact, with her “mathematical brain,” she embraced the challenge...

Ways of Seeing

“What do you see when you look at a tree on your property? What do you think about?” This is Bill Miller speaking from his Water Mill office. A slight man with deepset eyes and a squirrely pony tail, Miller is an arborist, one of our very best. His talent is overshadowed only by his humility: he has no web page and does not advertise, and in conversation he is not given to self-promotion.

It’s time to savor the warm weather and glorious sunsets of summertime on the East End.

As you drive past East Hampton’s Village Pond you might not notice a discreet hedge-enshrouded Tudor edifice on the other side of Montauk Highway. Not only is there a posh inn behind the stucco walls and mullioned windows, but there’s also a luxurious spa replete with an “endless” swimming pool, steam shower and Frette linens to encircle you during your massage or facial.

Realty Check – June Edition

“Say hello to the first $2 million summer rental!” So read Crain’s New York Business about an 8,000 square foot manse in Amagansett. Amagansett? It’s a nice place but hardly a locale for such an eye-popping price. So we checked Crain’s link to the property on HREO. Let’s just say somebody added an extra zero.

It might seem counter-intuitive that Nick Martin, AIA, an architect known for a treasure trove of modern architectural gems scattered around the South Fork, lives in a Sagaponack house dating from 1776. But a glimpse inside, where he lives with his wife and three children, reveals that the architect...
