Glamping has become pretty popular over these recent years, particularly among those who would like to fill that camping itch without sacrificing any luxury comforts. While many resorts cater to this kind of vacation, people in East Hampton are taking the glamping idea and applying it to their home turf — bringing in a tidy profit in the process.
CBS reports that in order to make some pocket change, many homeowners in East Hampton are renting out their spacious homes for the summer and staying in trailer parks — the Ditch Plains Trailer Park at Montauk Shores to be exact. While some of the homes being rented are in the million-dollar bracket, even the more modest ones are making their homeowners around $50,000 in rent for just two months. Considering it costs only $1,400 a month to lease a trailer space at Ditch Plains, these savvy homeowners are definitely coming out on top. The trend makes sense, especially when one considers the financial state of the country. Even those with money have been hit and what better way to make some extra money than by renting your home out?
If you want to try Ditch Plains in Montauk you'll have to get on a waiting list since it's currently full.

A no-reserve auction is perhaps the best barometer to gauge the true value of a luxury property in any given area. There is no speculation or hype; it is a gathering of potential buyers with money that are interested in buying, revealing what the...
If you've always wanted to brag about living in the most expensive home in the United States, now is your chance…assuming you have $190 million laying around and want to live in Greenwich, Connecticut. According to The Wall Street Journal, this 50.5-acre French-renaissance residence was put on the market last Friday and is now the priciest U.S. home on the market. Considering the deal includes 4,000 feet of water frontage, two offshore islands and 50 acres of land, we're not really surprised at the steep price tag.
The Victorian manor, called Copper Beech Farm, was built in 1898 and was apparently once owned by the Lauder Greenway family (they had a hand in Andrew Carnegie's beginning steel business), featuring 15,000 square feet of living space, 7,000 square feet of basement and attic space, ten carved fireplaces, and a solarium. There are also 12 bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, two half baths, a library, wine cellar, and a whole floor designated for staff alone. The design includes 12-foot ceilings, balconies, large windows and porches enclosed by glass, and a panoramic Long Island Sound view. The land is the main draw of the property, representing 70 percent of the value, outside you'll be pleased to find a grass tennis court, formal gardens, a carriage house, two greenhouses, a 75-foot-long pool and an apple orchard.
