Ten-acre spread on Sagaponack Pond lists for $35M
Two parcels covering about 10 acres in Bridgehampton have been listed together for $35M, Curbed first reported. They’re also available separately, with the pond-fronted property listed for $20 million and the other priced at $15 million. The waterfront parcel at 363 Sagaponack Road features a nine-bedroom, 6,000-square-foot home that dates back to 1850. At 351 Sagaponack Road sits a four-bedroom, 2,850-square-foot home and a heated gunite pool. Curbed speculates that a lack of interior home pictures on the listing indicates that the properties are being marketed as teardowns, with the price pegged to the combined land value of the two parcels. Corcoran Group Real Estate’s Michael Schultz and Susan Ryan have the listing. [Curbed]

Dick Cavett lowers price of Montauk home down to $48.5M
Iconic talk show host couldn’t find any takers when he listed Montauk home, Tick Hall, at $62 million last year. Now he’s hoping to get a little more traction with a $48.5 million price tag, though Cavett’s wife speculated that buyers may be wary of investing in real estate because of a booming stock market, the Wall Street Journal reported. Dating back to the 1880s, the home is one of the Hamptons’ “Seven Sisters,” residences designed by the architects at McKim, Mead & White and now part of the Montauk Association Historic District. Tick Hall sits on 20 acres on a bluff overlooking the sea. The 7,000-square-foot home has six bedrooms, a bell tower with a wraparound porch, paths through woods, a Japanese pagoda, pond and a staircase to a private beach. Gary DePersia of the Corcoran Group is sharing the listing with colleague Karen Kelley.[WSJ]

Shinnecock tribal members want to raise $185K to buy build site where bones were found
After a human skull, bone and glass bottle were found on a Southampton construction site for a private home, the Shinnecock Indian Nation is trying to raise $185,000 to help buy and preserve the land. State archeologists have said the remains probably belong to an American Indian. Southampton Town officials have offered to buy the plot for $390,000 using the Community Preservation Fund, which is financed through a two percent tax on real estate transfers. Supervisor Jay Schneiderman has also made an offer on behalf of the town, at “fair market value,” but declined to reveal the price. The owner however declined both offers because they don’t cover costs he’s already incurred on the project. The owner claimed he needs another $185,ooo, prompting Shinnecock members to start fundraising. The property’s owner, who wasn’t identified, has partnered with Michael White of Southampton-based Georgica Builders. [Newsday]
