Hot Sales And Listings With A Dollop Of Hamptons Gossip By Karen Dash

Hugh Jackman Renting

Hugh “Wolverine” Jackman, plus wife and family, will be spending the next months, including the summer, filming “Deadpool 3” in Vancouver. Therefore, they won’t be needing their stunning modernist compound in East Hampton, right on Gardiner’s Bay with a private sandy beach, and have decided to let some other well-to-do person or family use it, for a substantial fee, of course. The Jackman’s loss is someone else’s gain this summer, assuming that someone can pony up the $495,000 required for a Memorial Day to Labor Day rental.

Jackman and his wife, former actress and producer Deborra-Lee Furness spent about $7.5 million to purchase two homes on two adjacent waterfront plots of land back in 2015.

Extensively renovated over the years, the 10,000 sq. ft. estate stretches over 10 acres off Town Lane Road. There is an opportunity to build another home to create a multi-home compound. Scott Bradley of Saunders & Associates has the listing. Apparently looking for a simpler life, Baldwin recently purchased a 55-acre farm in Vermont. The couple is also apparently quietly shopping their Greenwich Village penthouse.

Friends Selling

Newly listed in Sag Harbor, the Friends of Bay Street are selling the waterfront property it bought only a couple of years ago with the intention of building a new home for the Bay Street Theater. The asking price is $25 million. Hal Zwick and Jeff Sztorc of Compass’ Hamptons Commercial Team are the listing agents. Friends of Bay Street purchased the property for just over $13 million in October 2020. Enzo Morabito and Adam Rothman of Douglas Elliman had the original listing at that time. The property formerly housed the Sag Harbor 7-Eleven, along with a variety of other local businesses. It’s been
