Top 5 Luxury Farms On The Market
If a man’s home is his castle, would a 100+ acre farm be his country? One can’t help but agree especially when the King of Morning TV, Matt Lauer, and Queen of Pop, Madonna, both own sprawling horse farms in the Hamptons. We found five “farms” in the Hamptons and North Fork that are certainly worlds unto themselves when it comes to the multi-million dollar world of Hamptons real estate. Each enclave features acres of rarified land, massive homes (and guest separate houses), and unparalleled views.
