Hillary Clinton To Move To the Hamptons: Top 5 Places She And Ex-Pres Bill Clinton Should Buy

Nicole B. BrewerbyNicole B. Brewer

Home Real Estate

Soon-to-be former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her leading man, former President Bill Clinton, have been fixtures in the Hamptons for years. They’ve been frequent weekend guests of real estate power players like Elie Hirschfeld and recently rented “the last two weeks in August” in East Hampton says a Hamptons real estate source. Rumor has it the former first couple is looking to set down roots on the East End and have engaged the services of a high-end Hamptons broker to scope out the scene for them.

What is the Hamptons real estate scene exactly? Hamptons Q4 reports are in and real estate sales peaked thanks in part to pending tax increases. Nearly 50 sales over the $5 million mark raised the average sale price to $2.13 million. Douglas Elliman reports that the middle of the “luxury” road is now $7 million. Brown Harris Stevens reports that, “the number of sales of $2.5 million and over up 98% over the same period.” Finally, the Corcoran Group reports, “more than $805 million in real estate sold in the Fourth Quarter, a 29% increase in total sales volume over last year.”

What does that mean for the Clintons and their Hamptons real estate goals? A veteran Hamptons real estate source explains that, “Stuff like this is always in the wind. People like [the Clintons] will get a house on the QT. They will have a fake name and buy under a LLC. Their broker will go out and find the house and the sellers will know based on the agent that the buyer is qualified. They’ll never know who the buyer is.”

Where will they live? Who will be their celebrity neighbors? Will they become just Bill and Hil picking up their coffee at one of the many Golden Pear Café’s dotted across the South Fork? These are our top five “South of the Highway” picks for the power couple:

  • Rose Hill Point, Water Mill – At $39.5 million it’s a small price to pay for nearly three water-front acres and a 15,000 sq/ft mansion in Water Mill. The “duplex master wing has a living room, fireplace, walk-in closets, two deluxe bathrooms, a fur vault and an octagonal office” where the Clintons could consider her run for President in 2016. Daughter Chelsea and her hubby will want to visit and this property has five guest suites, “theater, and game room with walk-in wine cellar” to keep them entertained. There is also a “dock [that] accommodates multiple watercraft and a private island lies beyond 365ft. of bulk headed waterfront”. Beyond a yacht to dock what more could they ask for? Listed by Harald Grant of Sotheby’s International Realty.

  • Refined Country Life, Westhampton – “To enjoy an elegant country life, celebrated for its beauty, this expansive waterfront estate is distinctively refined.” Designed in 1903 by architect Henry Bacon, who also designed the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, this ‘charming’ 16,000 sq/ft bayfront with pool on just under 7-acres might just be what the former First Lady needs as she reflects upon her future political plans. She can entertain in the “banquet-sized formal dining room with hand-painted murals and fireplace” or enjoy a quiet moment alone in the “large gourmet kitchen with a waterside casual dining area” to work on speeches she’ll give in the post-political lecture circuit. All that plus stunning views, formal gardens, and a sunken bathtub for only $17.75 million it is a “premier residence west of the canal.” Listed by Marcia Altman of Brown Harris Stevens.

  • Formal Cottage, Sagaponack – “Formal gardens surround 4.35 acres of verdant green lawns,” complement the 2-story shingle home designed by Francis Fleetwood in Sagaponack. Built in the early 1990’s, the 6,600 sq/ft “showplace” features a professional chef’s kitchen, sauna, 20×50 granite and bluestone pool, five bedrooms, and media room. Smaller than the White House in Washington, DC, and their estate in Chappaqua, NY, this $17.5 million estate might just be what the doctor ordered for a couple who globe trot for a living and need a place to escape once in a while.

  • Goose Creek, East Hampton – P. Diddy, Madonna, and Christie Brinkley partied here. Steven Spielberg, Alec Baldwin, and Renée Zellweger have hosted screenings in the 110-seat replica of the famed Ziegfeld Theater, most recently being Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated “Lincoln”. And countless Victoria’s Secret models have primped there for fashion shoots. The Clintons would be the next in a long list of famous faces to grace the grand Georgica Pond waterfront estate with their august presence. “It has everything you would want and more,” exclaimed the listing agent. Spread out over 5.5 acres and 25,000 sq/ft of living space fashioned after an old Italian hotel a new owner could enjoy an indoor pool, massage room, barber shop, two ballrooms, eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, pub room, Billiards Room, and even a tanning room to beat off the winter blahs all for the newly reduced rate of $14.9 million. Best yet there are two staff bedrooms for the Clinton’s Secret Service detail. Listed by Dawn Neway of Douglas Elliman.

  • Gin Lane Estate, Southampton – What do Pennsylvania Avenue and Gin Lane have in common? Simply put they are two of the most storied streets on which to live in the United States. This $13.9 million “traditional home offers total privacy” for those used to flashbulbs like the Clintons. With eight bedrooms and side-by-side living rooms this is a home just made for relaxing with family and friends. The two-acre property could easy be tented for one of the famous fundraisers to kick off a Presidential run in the next few years. (Just a suggestion.) Listed by Jay Flagg of Saunders.

    • Enjoy the Warmth of Community This Fall at LongHouse

LongHouse Reserve is unbelievably beautiful. Whether you’re here for the summer or visiting from out of town, LongHouse is a must-visit. It’s not just a place for art but a true community hub offering tranquility and a chance to marvel at nature’s wonders. It’s a sanctuary of peace.

This fall, there’s a buzz in the air, thanks to the efforts of LongHouse director Carrie Rebora Barratt, who is a relatively new local herself. She’s been working to create more engaging community events and has extended LongHouse’s open season well into the fall and possibly even the winter. @longhousereserve

    • The place is the old Astro’s, and it looks pretty much the same except all the seating is now by the windows, and there are no tables. You can go in for slices, and overall, it’s a pretty typical pizza joint with a more retro vibe. But what’s great about this pizza is that it is thin and has a crispness to it that you don’t get anywhere else in the Hamptons. This means that even if you devour half a pie, you don’t walk away feeling bloated and like death is imminent, but you just feel really full from good pizza.

Everything is fresh, and the overall vibe is trendy. You have to go. I gave it an 8.4. #pizza  #pizzatime  #pizzalover  #hamptons  #finipizza
    • Special Screening of Love…Reconsidered, A Hamptons-Based Romantic Comedy

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will be hosting a premiere of the film Love…Reconsidered on Saturday, September 30th at 7:00 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium. This is the charming romantic comedy starring Sophie von Haselberg, Judy Gold, Marisa Ryan, Elaine Bromka, Luke Gulbranson, and Colton Haynes, set between New York City and Southampton.

Love…Reconsidered is based on Arielle Haller-Silverstone’s true love/life story, and she wrote the screenplay after losing her job during the pandemic where she then moved to the Hamptons. Haller-Silverstone is the co-owner of Le Closet, a curated consignment store, with locations in Southampton and New York City, and she can’t wait to premiere this film at WHBPAC and connect with viewers.

The screening will also include a panel discussion with the filmmakers moderated by Kate Schumacher and Carinn Jade of the well-known podcast Pop Fiction Women. They will dive into the film’s characters and the complicated lives they lead, along with the filmmaking process that brought this movie to life on the screen. Arielle Haller-Silverstone spoke more about her inspiration for the screenplay, her background, and what she is most looking forward to for the screening.

Congratulations on your film Love…Reconsidered. Can you talk about the story behind this film and where your inspiration came from to write the screenplay? 

Arielle Haller-Silverstone: I lost my job during COVID and started Le Closet from my studio apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. On a total whim, my dad knew a broker that knew a broker in Southampton, and I decided to give it a shot. I schlepped all of the clothes from NYC and opened on Windmill Lane (where the store still is today!). I knew there was a script within this story and had to make a movie. @whbpac
