For the ultimate price, you can have the ultimate in luxury--60 acres of coveted Hamptons farmland transformed into an uber-estate. There is the grand main house, which totals more than 25,000 square feet and has a great room with a 28-foot-high domed ceiling. The 14 gardens include vegetable, hydrangea and butterfly plantings, as well as a rose garden modeled after the one at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

And how could a home be considered complete without its own U.S. Golf Association-rated course designed by Rees Jones. The grass tennis court, 75-foot pool and three large ponds are just extras. Three Ponds is listed with Susan Breitenbach at Allan M. Schneider & Associates.
