Like most Hamptonites, KDHamptons loves to pour over pictures of haute Hamptons homes ~ whether it’s a magnificent mansion on Meadow Lane, a gleaming glass house in East Hampton, or a surf shack in Montauk. The Hamptons real estate market is booming, and if you have your heart set on living in a beautiful old barn, then check out this NEW KDHamptons Featured Property Diary, below:

The barn is a very rare find and a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in a piece of history with incredible land value in Water Mill. The authentic post and beam timber originated from the Willow Farm in Windsor Berkshire, England. This 17th century English Barn was the last to be dismantled piece by piece and shipped trans Atlantic in the early 1980s, before the British National Trust put a stop to their exportation.

There are only approximately 5 or 6 of these barns in the US and with her arched “Ships Knees Braces”, she is most likely the most distinctive and beautiful. With favored zoning available, there is room to expand on the 2729 Square Foot Barn, formerly located near the famous Windsor Castle, which belonged to the residences of the English Royal Family. All timbers are in exceptional condition. Set on 1.2 acres on a very quiet, desirable, country lane, the barn boasts wide plank pine flooring, oak timber beams, patina finish and 28 ft soaring ceiling heights are just the beginning of this dream residence filled with history. Like your privacy? The property faces 83 acres of protected land across the street.

“There is a tremendous difference to this rare commodity because of the authenticity in every detail. Nothing is a replica, as each 350 + year old oak timber with patina finish cannot be found at your local lumber supply. Combined with the fact that there are only 5-6 others in the country with royal English history, it is located in a coveted prime quiet country lane of the farmlands of Water Mill. Trust me, there is a market for the anti-cookie cutter homes in the Hamptons,” shares Richard Doyle of Douglas Elliman.
