Christie Brinkley is selling in the Hamptons again. The supermodel has turned real estate investor, buying and fixing up homes in the area. The home she recently listed in North Haven is, according to the Wall Street Journal, part of the collection of Hamptons real estate that Brinkley has collected over the years and held on to even after her ugly divorce a couple of years ago from Hamptons architect Peter Cook.

The five-bedroom home dates back to 1843. The classically-columned waterfront mansion is on a 4.5 acre lot that comes with a pool and 327 feet of beachfront. Brinkley told the WSJ that she's too busy to maintain the home especially because she is launching several new businesses. She paid $7.15 million for the house in 2004.

The North Haven house has views both of the harbor and the surrounding bay. Inside there are four fireplaces and wide-plank pine floors. There are three stories and the main floor has a living room, adjacent sitting room, formal dining room, open kitchen with soapstone and marble counters, a great room with another sitting and dining area, powder room, mud room, pantry and full bath. An oak banister staircase takes you to the second floor and four of the five bedrooms including a master bedroom suite with a separate sitting room, master bath and outdoor terrace. A third floor includes a fifth bedroom, a separate study and storage area. It is listed at $15.75 million with Jay Flagg of Prudential Douglas Elliman.

Brinkley's Tower Hill in Bridgehampton has been listed for the past three years at $30 million. Brinkley has said that she is considering taking the home off the market because she hasn't had any nibbles on the 12-bedroom home.

It has potential... if I could pick it up and move it to the South!

Yo! Bobby, you are so right, but as long as the gullible public keeps paying astronomical salaries to guys who shoot hoops, whack golf balls, play with pigskin and whack the beejesus out of horsehides, you will have a constant turnover in real real estate property, such as Christie Brinkles (?) exorbitantly priced property. Ignorance on the part of the young athletes making these ridiculous sums gets them hooked on such properties which then go into receivership when their bodies start breaking down and they can't cut the mustard any more. Pathetic, but the dues paying fans are to blame for a lot of this. If they wouldn't pay those ridiculous prices for entrance, hot dogs and beer, they would help to bring some common sense to this idiotic situation.

More power to her. If she can get just a littleover the original price of this gorgeous home, that would still NOT be a profit. In this market, I wonder how many can be interested in a Hampton home for #13M? Still, this is capitalism and that what America was supposed to be all about. Let not follow in the footsteps of all the other socialist countries that are beinginning to realize IT DOES NOT WORK!

bunch of idiots! Did you read she bought the home 6 years ago?? Property appreciates...duh!! And she did renovations. Just jealous she has more money and brains than you do.

Her home is OK. If it was mine, thankfully it isn't, I would get rid of those trees along side of the pool and install a screen cage around it. Maintence is too extreme when the pool is directly beneath a leaf shedding tree. Always insects on the leaves. Another point, worms crawl into the pool during evening hours, another mess. Other than that, I guess in a pinch, the house will do.

Way overpriced for sure. It is a beautiful home with large property. The pool area couldn't be duller and what a horrible beach....I would think for that price I could do a lot better.
It also does have a nice water view

The Hamptons are so out of it............Just like spending money in restaurants, driving Bentleys and doing lines.
People go to Canada and take the train trip across country with sitting rooms and dining with white table cloths and no TV, phones, computers and just drink, have sex and avoid photographers and gossip.
Some friends bring masseurs, and even trainers.........they get bored stiff but paid lots.
OH NUTS!.......gave it away.

you guys are crazy! Because she is selling a house, thats going to bring the US economy down????
It is a beautiful house in a prime location.

Obviously the price is because of the location. Just looking at the house and the pool they surely those don't have that much to do with the high price. It has to be the land and location. Actually the pool area looks kind of dumpy. Nice house but doesn't look like a mansion or anything. I guess when you have property in an exclusive rich area like that it's worth millions no matter what.

David,

I am not envious of Christie Brinkley. In fact she is in the same age group as I am and as a young woman I always admired her looks and talent, but as time passed on, I have noticed she has matured into a vain and shallow woman.

She earned her money and is a shrewd businesswoman, but she knows how to play the media and the victim and that doesn't cut it for me.

Jaclyn Smith, another shrewd business woman and great beauty, in public, does not play the victim, so my commentary is not about jealousy, just about a woman who is well connected and is used to being front and center at the expense of others.
