In the heart of the Hamptons, a chapter closes on one of its most storied estates, La Dune. This iconic Southampton property, once the pinnacle of luxury with a price tag of $150 million, is poised for a dramatic turn as it heads to auction this January. Situated on the prestigious Gin Lane, La Dune has been a symbol of opulence and grandeur in the Hamptons real estate scene.
Spanning a generous 4 acres, the property boasts a grandeur that is rare even in this affluent enclave. With no minimum bid required, the auction promises to be a landmark event. The compound is a testament to luxury living, featuring two exquisite homes, each complemented by its own swimming pool and a shared tennis court. The estate's lavishness is further highlighted by 400 feet of pristine beach frontage, offering breathtaking views and a sense of seclusion.
 
The interiors of La Dune are just as impressive as its exteriors. The estate encompasses 19 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, along with 3 half baths, sprawling across 22,000 square feet of living space. The property is equipped with both family and service kitchens, catering to every culinary need. For wellness and leisure, there's a gym and an elevator, ensuring comfort at every level.
 
This prestigious estate has been under the care of art-world luminary Louise Blouin, who acquired it in the 90s for $13.5 million. However, the journey of La Dune has taken a turn, with Blouin facing foreclosure on the two parcels that make up this magnificent spread.
 
As La Dune prepares for its next chapter, the question on everyone's mind is, what value will the auction bring to this historic property? Located at 366 & 376 Gin Lane in Southampton, New York, La Dune is not just an estate; it's a legacy waiting for its next custodian. Set for auction by Concierge Auctions, this event marks a unique opportunity for discerning buyers to own a piece of Hamptons history. Will you be the one to continue the legacy of La Dune?
