Did you know that there were three home sales over $50 million in the Hamptons last year? Or that Bill Ackman bought his second mansion in Bridgehampton last August (we just found out about this too)?
According to a TRData analysis of sales records, the year’s most expensive sale totaled $57.3 million for a four-acre waterfront estate at 226 Further Lane. It sold to a shell company with kind of a meh name, Eh 226 LLC. The listing brokerage, Hamptons specialist Saunders & Associates, had the most listed properties of any firm in the top 15 list of sales, with five listings.

But perhaps the most intriguing deal on the list is a three address combination sale at 195, 207 and 211 Bridge Lane in Bridgehampton. Industry sources confirm that hedge fund manager Bill Ackman bought the six-acre property for $23.5 million in August of last year using three LLCs, each bearing the name of the individual addresses involved.
