by Elliman Editors

August 2022

By Grace Cassidy With The Hampton Classic Horse Show underway, we’ve got farmhouses, barns and wide open spaces on the mind, and the property for sale at 871 Sagg Main in Sagaponack —currently on the market for $12 million—checks all the boxes. “This historic 1920s farmstead is primely located right in the heart of Sagaponack,” said Paul Brennan , one of the Douglas Elliman agents representing the listing. “It’s unique in that it is in tip-top shape, but a real blast from the past. Not much has changed from when it was a working farm. It’s a piece of history that has been beautifully and impeccably maintained.” Built by the Topping family, who have deep roots in the area, this recently renovated 3,700-square-foot farmhouse is host to four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Homeowners also can enjoy four additional outbuildings on the property, including a 750-square-foot two-bedroom cottage with a full kitchen, ideal for when guests come to visit, an 865-square-foot studio and two barns. One of the barns is currently being used as a squash court and gym spanning 3,200 square feet in size, while the other features a loft area and is ready to be transformed by the new owners. “What I find so special about this rare compound is that it offers limitless potential to truly make it your own,” said Martha Gundersen , the Elliman agent representing the property alongside Brennan. “With two sizable barns, a legal cottage, and studio, there is a tremendous amount of customizable space that you can tailor to your own creative or recreational pursuits. The barn with a large, open loft is a blank canvas, ready to become whatever you envision—whether that’s a home office, dance studio, kids’ entertainment space, horse barn, or an indoor pickleball court.” Interior features of the farmhouse include hardwood floors, three wood-burning fireplaces and historic details throughout. Outside, residents will enjoy entertaining in the summer months with a poured cement pool. There’s also a pool shed and an outdoor shower. Mature landscaping spans the property. Because all of the buildings were constructed before current zoning laws were put into place, this compound would be impossible to replicate today. Situated south of the highway in Sagaponack, this property is located less than a mile from the ocean at Gibson Beach. Wölffer Estate Vineyard is situated just 2 miles north, while East Hampton village is a 30-minute bike ride east.
