The Top 5 Most Expensive Homes In The Hamptons (And Yes, They're Absurd)

The Sandcastle, 612 Halsey Lane, Bridgehampton As if the pictures didn't say enough, I'm just gonna go ahead and give you the description that Dan's Hamptons gave, because I'm not too sure my description would do it justice...

If you’ve ever wondered what one of the Hampton’s top builders would create for himself then imagine no more when the gates open to this spectacular estate on 11.5 acres in a prime south of the highway location. Farrell Building Co has combined exotic materials and masterful finishes within this extraordinary residence that features 31,000+/- SF of living space on 3 floors plus its unique recreation pavilion. Bordeaux walnut floors with radiant heat welcome you into an impressive grand foyer that fans out to include a 40′+ living room with 2 fireplaces, formal dining room with fireplace, a walnut library for him, a sundrenched office for her and a planetarium like home theatre. The professional chef’s kitchen is bolstered by butler’s pantry, walk-in refrigerator and wine rooms and is flanked by a media room and screened porch with fireplace. Upstairs the 2,800+/- SF master suite is joined by eight ensuite bedrooms including a separate 2 bedroom apartment. The fabulous lower level redefines a finished basement with a 2-lane bowling alley, virtual golf, skateboard half pipe, rock climbing wall, media room, full bar and disco, children’s performing area and a staff apartment. A complete spa facility with gym is joined by a combination squash, racquetball & basketball court featuring moving walls and retractable hoop. An elevator connects all levels while a smart system controls the entire estate. Above and below ground garages house up to 8 vehicles. Outside a 60′ pool is bolstered by spa, sunken tennis court, outdoor kitchen, 4000+/- SF recreational building and spectacular landscaping accented by extensive outdoor lighting and acres and acres of manicured lawn.

Holy. Hell. For $43,500,000 it seems like you're really getting the most bang for your buck!
