GOLDMAN’S GREEN
FINANCE EXEC BIHIND HUGE $150M LI listing
neeredThe GoldmanWall Street’s Sachs largest-everexec who IPO engi- is behind the biggest Hamptons realestate listing of the summer.
Goldman co-Chair J. Michael Evans and his wife Lise are the mystery owners who put a massive $150 million beachfront parcel of land (above) on the market — the most expensive listing on the East End, The Post has learned.
The couple, well known on the New York social scene, assembled the 14-acre property on exclusive Meadow Lane in Southampton over the past three years by spending around $115 million to buy three oceanfront lots and one bayside lot, according to a source.
The massive property includes 700 feet of oceanfront and even more waterfront on Shinnecock Bay.
“There’s a lot of oceanfront properties, but very rarely do you get three lots,” said listing broker Harald Grant of Sotheby’s International Realty.
Grant declined to confirm that the Evanses are the sellers.
Whoever lands the oceanside estate might have a hard time deciding where to lay their heads. The property comes with five houses, including an 8-bedroom, 12,000-square-foot mansion built in the 1990s with an indoor pool, two guest houses and two “golf cottages.”
There’s also a tennis court and an outdoor pool. “All the homes are somewhat dated,” n- Grant said. “Anyone who spends this kind of money for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is going to want to build a home that they can identify with —one that not only compliment sp li men ts the property but maximizes thee best use of the property.” Several of the deep-pocketedeted owners on Meadow Lane have doneone exactly that, signing top architects to build sig-signature homes.
