Luxury homes for sale in East Hampton

East Hampton is an exclusive seaside village located on the easternmost side of Long Island in Suffolk County, New York. Renowned as a popular summer vacation among the rich and famous, East Hampton’s elite residents make up a population of less than 30,000.  

In true New York fashion, the winters in East Hampton have been known to be very cold, while the summers bring cool ocean breezes and temperatures that rarely climb beyond 85°F.  

Located just 100 miles from New York City, the charming town is flanked on three sides by nearly 70 miles of pristine beaches. Largely regarded as one of the most beautiful areas in the United States, the village’s scenery is worthy of a fairy tale picture book.   

Elegant elm trees line the streets, alongside 18th-century windmills and stately historical homes. Luxury homes for sale in the Northwest Woods provide a private paradise, while those closer to Main Street enjoy a quaint New England charm.    

The area was first settled in 1648 and became a thriving fishing and farming community for several centuries. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the New York City elite began to navigate to the area in search of a haven from the city.  Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, East Hampton began to attract some of New York City’s most famous artists and writers, such as Jackson Pollock and Truman Capote. 

Today, the village is still known for its many A-list residents, including Neil Patrick Harris, Robert Downey Jr., Martha Stewart, and Sean “P Diddy” Combs.   

Evidence of the village's early history can still be seen in its historical buildings, such as Guild Hall. One of the country’s first multidisciplinary centers, Guild Hall still serves as a popular museum, theater, and cultural education center.   

The Montauk Indian Museum is also a popular attraction for visitors and guests alike, as is Deep Hollow Ranch, the oldest working cattle ranch in the United States.  

It's no surprise that the world-class beaches that line East Hampton’s Atlantic coastline are among the main draws for many luxury real estate buyers. The town’s bays, harbors, and sandy shores offer plenty of opportunities for swimming, fishing, boating and other water sports.   

While the Hamptons boast plenty of high-end restaurants, none seem to have captured the heart of the village quite like The Lobster Roll. Affectionally known as “Lunch” due to its large retro lunch sign, the nostalgic seaside diner has been serving its famous lobster rolls since 1965.  

Baron’s Cove at Sag Harbor has also become a local cocktail sample since first attracting guests such as John Steinbeck, Paul Newman and Art Garfunkel in the 1960s. The resort also boasts plenty of high-end guest rooms and suites, providing excellent accommodations for both casual visitors and those on the hunt for homes for sale.  

Overall, East Hampton offers everything from stunning seaside views and world-class country clubs to a vast cultural landscape of galleries, boutiques, and theaters. 

From private woodland estates to sprawling European-style mansions, neighborhoods such as East Hampton, Amagansett, Sag Harbor, Wainscott and Montauk offer one of the most diverse selections of luxury real estate in the United States.  

The village’s famous Further Lane offers homes for sale on the same street that Lauren Bacall, Billy Joel and Jerry Seinfeld have called home. Woodpink Drive, Buell Lane, and Eastwood Court likewise offer magnificent luxury real estate options.
