1384 Meadow Lane
Home sellers’ usual strategy is to list in the spring, when buyers are most active. But Hamptons buyers could hardly be more active than they have been in recent months. Jonathan Miller, president of appraisal firm Miller Samuel, gave The Real Deal a rundown of the 10 most expensive South Fork deals to close to date in 2021.
1. 70 Further Lane | $60 million
The most expensive sale to date in 2021 closed in February, according to Miller Samuel. Little information is available about the off-market East Hampton sale, but Hamptons Hot Sheet identified the seller as Jim Chanos, owner of Kynikos Associates and also known as the “Darth Vader of Wall Street” for his short-selling skills. The 3-acre estate includes a tennis and basketball court, according to 27 East.
2. 159 Trees Lane | $26 million
The second most expensive sale so far this year closed in January, according to Miller Samuel, though details about the Sagaponack property online are scarce. It has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, according to Zillow. The 2,668-square-foot home, built in 1994, sits on nearly 3 acres. According to Curbed, the home last sold in 2006 for $6.1 million.
3. 51 Sandpiper Lane | $21 million
This 7,422-square-foot mansion was sold in March for $2,829 per square foot. The seller was represented by 51 Sandpiper Lane LLC, and the buyer was represented by New Sandpiper LLC.

5. 183 Jobs Lane | $13.4 million

This Montauk property was sold in February, according to Miller Samuel. The home, surrounded by trees, sits on a lot of about an acre and once had a Redfin estimate of $6.8 million.

This seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom home in Westhampton Beach went for $1,492 per square foot in March. It was sold by Judith Pace to Josephine and Gary Flood, according to property records.
