I
t’s been a wild year in Hamptons real estate with some of the most expensive sales taking place quietly. It’s not an easy task to keep real estate transactions quiet when they go above $25 million. For the year 2012, there were quite a few real estate agents out here with ear-to-ear grins. The following are the top five largest real estate transactions that took place in the Hamptons for the year 2012.
$32.5 million: Ocean Road, Bridgehampton The property that sold in the Hamptons for the most money went to none other than the world famous CEO of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein put his money where his mouth is after he purchased this absolutely stunning 8,000 sq. ft. traditional that is set on 7.2 acres. The house isn’t oceanfront, but that’s not what Blankfein was looking for. The deal took place at the end of the year.
Saunders
$28.5 million: 322 Meadow Lane, Southampton For a while it looked like Marc Rowan’s six-bedroom home was going to be the largest sale until Blankfein swooped in. The sale, by Marcella O’Callaghan of the Corcoran Group, closed in February. The 9,000-squarefoot home sits right on the ocean and was bought by Carlos Alejandro Pérez Dávila, a managing director of investment advisory firm Quadrant Capital Advisors.
