Bridgehampton compound with private golf course relists for $49M
Three Ponds Farm, the nearly 60-acre compound and golf course, has relisted for $49 million, significantly lower than its previous $60 million price tag, Curbed reported. Designed by renowned golf course architect Rees Jones, the 18-hole course has four shared greens and fairways along with three sets of tees. A restored milking barn at the fifth hole serves as a halfway house with a living room and bathroom. The U.S. Golf Association-rated course’s pro shop, staff suite and service buildings also date back to its days as a dairy farm. The property’s 25,000-square-foot main house, designed by architect Allan Greenberg, has eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, three half-bathrooms, five fireplaces and indoor-outdoor living areas. The grounds also hold a gunite pool, spa, grass tennis court and wisteria-covered pergolas. Landscape architect Edmund Hollander has built various gardens on the property, of which about 30 acres are usable for subdivision. Three Ponds Farm once sought $68 million, albeit back in 2007. Bespoke Real Estate, founded in 2014 by luxury listing experts the Vichinsky brothers, now has the listing for Three Ponds Farm, which had previously been listed with Sotheby’s International Realty. [Curbed]

Opponents sue to halt controversial East Quogue development
Environmentalists, civic leaders and a state assemblyman sued to overturn a Nov. 15 decision by the Southampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals that would allow a luxury development and golf course to move forward in East Quogue, Newsday reported. The plaintiffs, including a group of East End nonprofits, argued that the board’s decision violated New York’s Open Meetings Law by not allowing for debate before approving the proposal by Discovery Land Company, an Arizona-based firm controlled by real estate tycoon and George Clooney pal Mike Meldman. In the mid-November vote, the board ruled that the development’s 18-hole golf course could be considered an accessory to a residential subdivision and therefore meets current zoning rules. If completed, the development would include an 118-unit subdivision on 591 acres over an environmentally sensitive area. The project, once known as The Hills, has previously been voted down by the board, prompting Discovery Land to sue Southampton. That litigation is pending. [Newsday]
