Pony Up

One of the Hamptons' largest - and best-known - tracts of privately held land is now available for $95 million.

 

Two Trees Farm, the site of the rollicking Bridgehampton Polo Club and its celebrity-studded, champagne-swilling crowd, has just been put on the market by owner David Walentas.

 

Included in the north-of-the-highway spread are 115 acres - which have preliminary approval for 18 "estate parcels" - as well as two houses, an eight-unit apartment building, three barns, two indoor riding arenas, two polo fields, a pool, a tennis court and many more than just two trees.

 

When contacted, Corcoran Group listing broker Tim Davis would only say, "It's the most important equestrian facility on Long Island, or it's the most unique opportunity for an investor."

 

Walentas, reportedly bought 100 acres of the property 15 years ago for $2 million and added more acreage a few years later. He then embarked on a three-year renovation.

 

Tongues and other appendages have been wagging among the horsey set about the future of the annual six-week Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge, which wouldn't be allowed to continue under the proposed subdivision plan.
