A newly built Montauk estate just sold for $17 million, breaking records as the highest price ever paid for a non-waterfront home in the East End hamlet.

The sale sets a new benchmark for buyers willing to pay top dollar for space, design, and views — even without direct beach access.

Exclusively represented by Kyle Rosko and Marcy Braun of Douglas Elliman, with Sam Crumm of The Corcoran Group bringing the buyer, the transaction eclipses the previous record of $14 million, also set on Maple Street in 2022.

Both deals reflect a clear shift in buyer preferences, with more people seeking high-end homes with privacy, architectural pedigree, and resort-style amenities just outside the traditional Hamptons hotspots.

Maple Street now a top destination for luxury home buyers in Montauk

“Montauk has always held a special energy,” said listing agent Kyle Rosko, “but since the pandemic, we’ve seen a shift — buyers are looking for space, privacy, and an elevated lifestyle outside of the traditional Hamptons hotspots. This sale shows that serious buyers see long-term value here.”

And the Maple Street estates check all the boxes, now delivering two record-setting real estate deals for the area.

The record-breaking home at 18 Maple Street

Designed by Lissoni & Partners and developed by Alessandro Zampedri of CFF Real Estate and JK Living, 18 Maple is a 9,000-square-foot, 6-bedroom home with panoramic ocean views, a rooftop deck, wellness suite, and fully custom interiors.

Set on just under an acre, 18 Maple Street pairs refined minimalism with bold ocean vistas.

Floor-to-ceiling windows, and a light-filled great room

Floor-to-ceiling frameless glass windows flood the interiors with natural light and frame sweeping views from nearly every room.

The main level features a sizable great room with 12-foot ceilings, a fireplace, and imported ceramic tile, anchoring the open living spaces with style and elegance.

The house has not one, but TWO designer kitchens

The home includes two separate Boffi-designed kitchens: one open and centrally located with a sculptural stone island, and another tucked away as a butler’s kitchen, ideal for entertaining behind the scenes.

Gaggenau appliances and Dornbracht fixtures keep things sleek and sophisticated.

And a primary suite with two terraces, a luxe bath

Upstairs, the primary suite spans the west wing of the house and offers two private terraces, a gas fireplace, and a large walk-in closet.

The spa-like bath includes a Boffi tub, Salvatori natural stone floors and walls, dual vanities, and a private terrace accessed through glass sliders.

Resort-level amenities with wellness on demand

The lower level is a destination in itself, opening to a private garden and loaded with luxuries.

Think a full gym with steam, sauna, and massage rooms, a custom wine room, a theater, and plenty of space to unwind. There’s also an en-suite bedroom, family room, powder room, and laundry.

With a rooftop deck that overlooks the ocean

A 4-car heated garage includes an EV charger, while the rooftop deck offers 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, sunrise, and sunset — the kind of elevated living that’s increasingly in demand among Hamptons buyers.

22 Maple Street: The neighboring estate still on the market

While 18 Maple is off the market, its twin next door is still up for grabs. Just listed at $14,975,000, 22 Maple Street offers a near-identical layout and luxury design, also by Lissoni & Partners and developed by the same team.

Similar listing details: 6 bedrooms, close to 9,500 sq. ft.

Set on the same size lot and boasting roughly the same square footage, 22 Maple comes with six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two half baths, plus an elevator servicing all levels.

It features a primary suite with an indoor-outdoor shower, a 117-square-foot walk-in closet, and Boffi cabinetry and finishes throughout.

With a welcoming open-plan living area

The open-plan living area is a showstopper, with a living and dining space that spill out onto an expansive terrace with another heated pool and panoramic ocean views. The chef’s kitchen is again paired with a private butler’s kitchen for seamless entertaining.

And a lower level with a family room, massage suite, and sauna

The lower level also includes a family room, massage suite, Starpool steam and sauna setup, and plenty of space for guests or staff. And the oversized garage? It’s a car collector’s dream, with radiant heat floors and space for up to eight vehicles.

One of Montauk’s most expensive rentals, too

Not only is 22 Maple one of Montauk’s priciest listings — it’s also the most expensive summer rental in the area, commanding $795,000 for the season. For that price, renters get a home loaded with perks: two pools (yes, two), a gym, theater, wine room, and a rooftop deck with sunrise-to-sunset views.

A prime Hamptons address

With one home already sold and its neighbor still on the market, Maple Street is quickly becoming one of Montauk’s most coveted (and competitive) addresses. And The Eklund | Gomes Team at Douglas Elliman holds the keys!
