Hamptons Verified

Gilded

The houses, clubs, polo, benefits, and summer rituals that define the maximum-luxury Hamptons.

A private atlas in ten chapters.

88 places, rituals, and institutions—each grounded in public reporting, with no invented access.

Observational, not promotional. Named residents appear only when publicly reported by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Curbed, The Real Deal, Newsday, 27 East, James Lane Post, or Hamptons Magazine. Nothing here is invented.

Read it as social geography: what is public, what is private, and which institutions made the East End’s mythology.

Filters88 entries

The named lanes that the national real-estate press has tracked for three decades — the oceanfront spits, the Sagaponack potato-field drives, the Georgica hook. These cards carry no photograph: a lane is a public road, and we would rather show nothing than the wrong one.

Burnt Point

38 Mathews Road, Wainscott, NY 11975

A gated 25-acre estate on a peninsula reaching into Georgica Pond, with 2,024 feet of pond frontage — waterfront, but not oceanfront. The 18,000-square-foot gambrel house was completed in 1999 to a Francis Fleetwood design, originally for the commodities trader David Campbell. The Stewart J. Rahr Foundation sold it in April 2021 for $47 million, after asking $95 million in 2015 — the priciest non-ocean waterfront trade the Hamptons has recorded.

What 'Compound' Means Here

East Hampton · East End

In Hamptons real-estate coverage, a compound generally means one property organized around several freestanding buildings — typically a main residence plus guest or service structures. It describes the estate's layout, not a public attraction. These are private residences; Hamptons Verified does not publish access guidance or details that could compromise residents' privacy.

Bridgehampton Polo Cup Sundays (defunct)

Ticketed

Defunct. Sunday matches ran late July through mid-August at Two Trees Farm until the Bridgehampton Polo Club wound down: its domain now 301-redirects to WVVH-TV and it appears nowhere in the USPA's club registry, whose only member club is The Hamptons Polo Club in Water Mill. Nothing has replaced the Bridgehampton Sunday fixture.
