Sagaponack

This year (2006), the distinction fell to Sagaponack, which ranked number one on Forbes.com’s list of the most expensive zip codes in America.

Sagaponack’s classic shingled mansions on wide open spaces is one good reason why. This luxury of land contributes to unexpected juxtapositions, such as horses cavorting in a pasture next to beach. Choosing a beach can be a dilemma. Gibson Beach or Sagg Main Beach? The beautiful ocean beaches are everywhere here. And so are the beautiful people.

Sagaponack is among the most private of Hamptons’ hamlets. The word “town” is a euphemism that refers to the post office and the Sagg Main General Store. Get a sandwich, mail a letter – really, what more do you need? Sagaponack is about how you live, and everyone in this zip code has that down.

Add Wolffer Vineyard to the good life in Sagaponack. Sit out back, enjoy a tasting, and look out onto 55 acres of prime grapes. It feels like the Italian countryside. Yet another reason to toast Sagaponack.
