Inside a $150 million beach home that is for sale would be the Hamptons’ priciest ever

An oceanfront estate in Southampton, listed at $150 million, stands as the priciest home for sale in the Hamptons — and is struggling to move off the market.
The compound, called La Dune, draws from a tiny pool of buyers, likely billionaires, and has been on and off the market since 2016.
The estate spans more than four acres across two adjacent lots with two homes, two swimming pools and a sunken tennis court.

An oceanfront estate in Southampton, listed at $150 million, stands as the priciest home for sale in the Hamptons — and is struggling to move off the market.

The compound, called La Dune, is likely to be used as a summer home and draws from a tiny pool of buyers, probably billionaires, who could afford to foot the bill. Even in the Hamptons, $100-million-plus sales are few and far between.

La Dune, named after the sandy dune it sits behind, spans about four acres across two adjacent lots with two homes, two swimming pools and a sunken tennis court.

It hasn’t been easy to find a buyer for the sprawling compound, which includes a classic Hamptons-style shingled main residence, originally built more than 100 years ago, and a second home on the adjacent lot, built in the early 2000s.

How to increase your property value

When deciding to do improvements to increase the value of your home, it is important to not spend more than you can get. You can build a palace and it won't mean anything in the wrong area. Make budget-appropriate choices that are sustainable, durable, and on-demand. As mentioned above, small improvements can make a big difference. This is also true, with not only eye-catching features but going above and beyond. Keep all certificates up to date, this might include electrical, roof, and plumbing certificates. When doing an upgrade make sure you have the certificate to prove the infrastructure is still up to standard. It will also be beneficial to talk with your insurance company to make sure the installers and certifications are accepted by them. Fancy Finishing's Have you ever heard the saying, you eat with your eyes? The same goes when buying a home. Adding eye-pleasing exterior improvements will automatically make buyers look twice. Consider upgrading garage doors to modern steel or wooden option. Replace old frame windows with big aluminum frames that are not only eye-catching but also more durable. Nothing looks better than well-maintained exterior walls and roofs. Keep painted exterior maintained, and stick to neutral colors like grey, white and brown. Kicking it up a notch, you can add cladding and vinyl stone to your walls. Replace big windows with open sliding doors and let the light shine through. Although it's a jungle out there, it does not mean you should hide in the bushes. If your property has a garden keep it trimmed and open. Gardens can be a big selling point, keeping in mind who your buyer will be. Interior upgrades are just as important. Bathrooms and kitchens will most probably always be the biggest attraction. Modern twists can be made to floors, tiles, and walls while sticking to a low budget. Simply changing handles, taps, and showerheads can make a big difference to a dated home. Flooring is one of the biggest changes one can make to the style of the home. Whether you are leaning against clean and crisp tiles, or stylish vinyl flooring, make sure it is durable and installed to last for years to come. Small improvements can make a huge difference to the eye and the devil will always be in the detail.

Keep up with the latest trends and tricks to increase your property's value. Whether you are open to selling or already settled in your forever home, your Property should always be seen as an investment.
