Hello! Hope you had a fabulous weekend. Ours was fun, relaxing, dinner with friends, stopped by to a party friends  (wish I had my camera again) had a BBQ last night and plenty of time for downtime around the house which I have to say I really enjoyed. Ahhhh….the beautiful Hamptons, have you been? I am incredibly lucky to live just a few hours away from the gorgeous and infamous Hamptons. Yes, the traffic is a nightmare, housing prices are hard to wrap your brain around,  there really is such a thing as $25.00 lobster rolls and $18.00 drinks but there are also many other incredible even dare I say wonderfully old fashioned things about the Hamptons that makes it well….the one and only.  
The pristine beaches, miles of white sand, charming family owned farms, beautiful parks and preservation areas, world class restaurants, an art scene to rival any other, unparallelled shopping, serious people watching (if that’s your thing) and of course houses that would take the gold if there were an Olympic event for beautiful homes! Each town has its own distinct flavor and there truly is something to love about each and every one of them. 
For homes, I think Southampton and East Hampton are pretty hard to beat in my humble non expert opinion. From your gorgeous grand gabled weathered shingle homes to the majestic tall imposing brick Georgians…there are countless homes worth drooling over that dot both the tony estate sections and the glistening Atlantic coastline. And let me tell  you  they come with equally impressive prices tags:) But let’s put that little detail aside and talk about the beauty of these Hamptons homes. Today’s post is dedicated to the panache of the quintessential Hampton homes. Ready for some serious eye candy? I think you will enjoy, this was a lot of fun to put together as it is such a unique world class enclave that brings together the biggest names in business, entertainment, music, art, culture…..in a coastal residential setting. Here we go…..
Granted this post represents the tippy top of Hamptons real estate but if we are going to look, then let’s go all the way right……
This is what  I call one dreamy patio!! AD

Hope you enjoyed little tour of the ultra uber swanky Hamptons homes……its fun to dream and best part is, it’s free!! Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping in. Have a wonderful Monday and great start to your week……

Tina…the homes of the Hamptons are all so stunning! It’s hard to believe I have only been out there a handful of times and that has been quite a while ago. My daughter’s boyfriend’s parents live in Bridgehampton and she spent the 4th there before coming home for the weekend. She couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous it is and how it is so much more laid back and casual than most people would think. Now I NEED to plan a trip…maybe midweek or September when it isn’t so crowded!

Your weekend sounds wonderful and relaxing…Have a wonderful day and stay cool! xoxo

Tina this is incredible. My eyes didn’t know where to look first! I have been to the Hamptons (Southampton) several times because when we were newly married, my husbands grandparents owned a beautiful home there and many family functions were held there. They sold it a few years ago and we have only been back once since then. I have to agree despite the ridiculous prices, it is a true gem of a place, so unique and so incredibly beautiful. This was a fun tour of beauty. Thank you!

The appeal is the colonial style, the dormers, the incredible porches – and of course that the generous rooms look out over a stunning vista. It’s a very pretty countryside and vista.

What a great way to start my Monday morning. We are headed that way over Labor Day and are taking a one day side trip to visit Bridgehampton to see friends of ours that have a home there. I cannot wait!

Oh my. I think I would be happy to just take up residence in the pool house or garden shed of one of these beauties! I’ve never been to the Hamptons – when we visit family in the NE we usually go to Nantucket or Maine. But hopefully someday we can take a detour. So glad you had such a nice holiday weekend, Tina. Have a wonderful week! XO

Even though what I grew up in was a far cry from these, the very nice areas near me were just like this on the Cape, so this reminds me of home. in fact, I’m off to see my mother today, and will pass by some mansions just like these. Love every minute of it!
Stacy

This is my kind of post, Tina… and this is my kind of home! I couldn’t love it more!

Thank you for taking the time to prepare this for us today. STUNNING!

Have a wonderful week!

Tina, as beautiful as these are, your home is still my favorite!! Janis Covinhton Stufflebean

Tina, You know how I love Shingle style homes, and white interiors, so this was a wonderful treat! What’s with the castle turret instead of a widows walk on Christie Brinkly’s home though? Really enjoyed the tour and wishing I was on the Cape right now, although if someone “dropped” me onto the Hamptons, I wouldn’t object. Have a great week.

Drooling Over the Beauty! I have only been once but hope to get back soon the Hamptons is so gorgeous everything looks so perfect it’s like Disneyland for adults!

Tina I still will say that your house is by far my favorite but I wouldn’t scoff at any of these thank you so much for putting together such a pretty post.

Beautiful! I just pinned several…thanks for the inspiration. I chuckled at your not having your camera at a party…it’s really hard not to snap pictures when I really want to…sometimes I think it best to keep some things private. But….we do get to see some fab stuff!
Hope your week is wonderful Tina
Amy

Just incredible! I have never been to the Hamptons…it’s absolutely beautiful and the homes are awe inspiring. I could easily live in any one of them! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely amazing!! I have never been to the Hamptons, but it is on my bucket list… And thanks to your post, it is inching it’s way to the top of the list! What a little slice of heaven on earth!

XOXO,

I haven’t been to the Hampton’s in so long! These images make me want to jump on a plane just to gawk at the gorgeous homes. Thankfully, your post will keep me satisfied for awhile! I wish my parents had kept our little A frame bohemian cottage in East Hampton. Thirty years later, it has probably been torn down and replaced with one of these!
Have a great week Tina!

Not too impressed. They are just big eye candy houses. So what. But I get the attraction if someone hasn’t either lived in one, or spent their life around classic New England homes. I like this style of architecture too because it’s classic and timeless, but their grandiosity is ostentatious. No jealousy either, I grew up an one of those “antique” farm houses in Massachusetts and spent lots of summers at the Cape and on the vineyard so I do get the attraction. But they are just big houses.

There are so many beauties here, but for me I so associate this area with shingled houses and these are amazing. Happy you had a great 4th!!

We used to go out to the Hamptons when we lived in NYC and I always loved strolling about in town. I could be very happy in that giant master bedroom above overlooking the ocean. I don’t think I would need any more space either. Gorgeous line up of homes.

smiles and happy new week.

So, this is how the “other half” lives:):) Each and every one is stunningly gorgeous, in their own way. Thank you so much for this tour. I have never been there but now I have been “virtually” there!!!!!

Tina,

Let me catch my breath…each of these house is FABULOUS! My goodness one is more beautiful than the next. What a treat to see all of the beautiful homes in one place. Thank you for sharing.

I hope that you have a wonderful week,

Elizabeth

Tina, it’s so funny that you did this post because I have been gathering “pins” inspired by the Hamptons – so many of these struck a cord with me right now! Gorgeous post. I love the shingled homes with white trim – they get me every time!

Love them all! It was kind of creepy though when Andrew Crispo’s Gin Lane house exploded and burst into flames! His neighbors were Anne Ford, and Gloria Vanderbilt! There was a gas leak according to LILCO, under the pool…but it could have bee a Mafia hit…

Dean

All of these are gorgeous!! You were right about the eye candy. I would be happy to call any of them home, except that one with that blue sculpture; what the heck was that??? Okay I would take the home but get rid of that sculpture. I have been reading blogs daily but havent been posting much since the baby is due in only four weeks now! We will be back in full swing when the house starts. Thanks for taking me into another world for a few minutes! Have a great day! -Tonya

Oh how the Hamptons Style makes my heart pitter,patter. I just did a similar post but on an Australian builder who has achieved Hamptons magic in his latest release and I so hope I can build it.Thanks for the lovely, lovely post. Fiona
