So what do you get? Well I’m stealing this from agent Richard Kudlak and Linda Casinover’s ad copy for their exclusive/rental. Awe inspiring water views of Noyac Bay topped off by gorgeous sunsets, creating a new palette of color every evening. This newly built homes offers a dramatic high-ceiling living room with floor to ceiling fireplace stonework, beautifully mirrored wet bar and wine cooler. The tastefully done gourmet kitchen abuts an additional waterside family room. Three bedrooms plus a den/fourth bedroom, a huge high-ceilinged basement awaiting your own personal configuration and the piece-de -resitance: a dramatic limestone outdoor patio complimenting the gorgeous pool with two dramatic waterfalls. An outdoor surround sound system brings the tropics to Sag Harbor. Large master bedroom with Jacuzzi tub overlooking the Bay tops it off. Pretty awesome huh?! Plus you get to relax have a glass of chardonnay and look at Rod’s years of memorablia… feel free to call me or Linda and Rich for details!!! The house is also for sale for a cool $2.2 million!

In what is certainly going to have repercussions all over the Hamptons. Southampton Town has given the green light on the Proposed 1500 room Shinnecock Casino/Hotel. The groundbreaking for the new “International House of Pancakes Hotel and Casino” should be as soon as this Monday. In addition to the casino, restaurants and hotel the location will also feature a maple syrup processing plant. Town spokesman Seymour Prophets stated, “this is a big step for Southampton and an even bigger step for pancake lovers.”
Yeah, I was busy last week and it took me some time before I could take some pen to the page I’m still in recovery between work and the events south of the highway LAST WEEK, and north of the highway too. Heavy rains and high winds knocked down trees, downed power lines and overflowed ponds from Montauk to Quogue. A friend sent me this picture from Sagaponack where a tree got it’s revenge and cut power to some folks in the area. It was horrendous! The high tech phones… the Wolf stoves.. the Tivo’s…. the radiant heated floors were all kaput!! In fact, some home owners were trapped like a group of Iranian hostages behind the gates of their homes that wouldn’t work because, they’re electric!!! Thank goodness for 911, they were throwing pate and cashmere blankets to all of those south of the highway families in need!!!
