The estate section south of Montauk Highway, between the village center and the ocean, is where Southampton's grandest residential character plays out. Properties here sit on generous lots, often an acre or more, and range from traditional Hamptons shingle-style homes to bold new construction. Prices in this section generally run from $3 million to $12 million depending on proximity to the ocean and the size of the parcel. Buyers in this area tend to be drawn to the combination of privacy, space, and the short walk or drive to both the village and the beach.
