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.

    • Did You Know That Seagulls Love Spaghetti?

I have no idea who was the first person to think of bringing a bowl of spaghetti to the beach to share with a seagull but my money’s on Jackson Pollack who happened to love spaghetti after having it for the first time at 18.

    • Sensational Food at the 1770 House

All I can say is wow. JUST WOW!

The 1770 House is the real deal. It’s some of the best fine dining that the Hamptons has to offer. Executive Chef Michael Rozzi has put together a menu that is hard to beat and the restaurant is run by long-time manager, Carol Covell. I want to get to the food because that’s the real star of the show, but the people that work here are also.  @1770house

    • Handy Lane Now a Luxury Street in Hamptons Real Estate

The entire street has transformed for the better thanks to the developers of 8 luxury properties on a relatively unknown South of the Highway cul-de-sac in Amagansett. 

Romaine Gordon of Saunders & Associates, the exclusive listing agent, has been ringing the news about this unique opportunity. “These houses are absolutely gorgeous and the cul-de-sac is a hidden gem. You are right in the heart of Amagansett, minutes to the ocean beaches and Amagansett village. Each property offers every amenity a buyer could want. To have something like this South of the Highway in Amagansett in this price range is really a special opportunity for buyers.” @hamptonsrealestate @romainehamptons
