The parts of his pricey hamlet south of the Montauk Highway are a mix of farm fields and high-end real estate. North of the highway, residential, commercial and industrial uses prevail, and there’s also the East Hampton Airport.
A quiet farming community that’s now a destination for private planes
Wainscott is a small hamlet outside of East Hampton bordering Georgica Pond, a favorite for kayakers. Despite residential development, there are still parcels of land being farmed. Small businesses and a few national chains dot Montauk Highway on its short run through town, and to the north is the East Hampton Airport, a regional facility used by summering residents to come and go on private planes and helicopters.
From old farmhouses to Georgica Association estates
Wainscott is home to some of the priciest real estate in the Hamptons, with many estates looking out onto farm fields. Some historic farmhouses remain standing along Wainscott Main Street. The Georgica Association, an exclusive gated community, is known for its cedar-shingled estates overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Georgica Pond. Among the most famous is “Kilkare,” owned by the late Michael Kennedy, a criminal trial lawyer famous for representing the Black Panthers and Ivana Trump in her divorce from Donald J. Trump.
