The Peconic Land Trust and the Town of East Hampton closed Wednesday, April 27, on the purchase of a parcel that fronts Georgica Pond and is next door to Pond House, the 12,000-square-foot mansion purchased last year by music titans Jay-Z and Beyoncé, who made a better offer for the land but were passed over in favor of preservation.

At 18 Jones Creek Lane, the 2.7-acre vacant property is just up the way from Revlon Chairman Ron Perelman’s 57-acre estate The Creeks and adjacent to the Fulling Mill Farm Preserve, a 17-acre tract that is owned by The Nature Conservancy.

The town, using Community Preservation Fund revenue, and the land trust evenly split the $8.5 million purchase price. It was originally listed in September 2021 with Town & Country Real Estate’s Linda Batiancela for $11.75 million, and multiple, higher offers were fielded before the owner, Ana Meier, and her husband, Daniel Creighton, decided to take a deal that would lead to the land’s preservation and protection of Georgica Pond.

“They wanted to do the right thing,” Batiancela said of Meier and Creighton.

The parcel has 300 feet of pondfront and is less than a mile away from the ocean.

Hamptons Rental Market Remains Alive and Well

To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the demise of the Hamptons summer-rental market are greatly exaggerated. “Any hint that the Hamptons rental market is anything but robust is completely wrong,” said Corcoran associate broker Gary DePersia in East Hampton.

Although there has been an unprecedented rise in short-term rentals and the aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic linger, it has been a bumper crop year for Wall Street, interest rates have remained steady and a new breed of demanding customer is emerging. Despite it all, the Hamptons vacation-rental market remains as ... 19 Jun 2025 by Joseph Finora
