DeUna Holdings Introduces Luxury Sustainable Homes in the Hamptons, Starting at $7.5 Million

With Summer a little over two months away, last-minute Hamptons house hunters have a plethora of choices. A quick search on Zillow shows there are 764 listings across the Hamptons ranging from 3 bed/2 baths at $2M, to extravagant oceanside mansions reaching up to $80M. But if you want luxurious & new construction, that number goes down to around 42 listings. And if your search criteria include words like “sustainable” or better yet “net zero,”  that number goes down to just a handful (6 to be exact).

“There is high demand for eco-conscious properties in the region, but virtually no product,” says Bianca D’Alessio, broker at Nest Seekers International.

Enter DeUna Holdings, a distinguished development company specializing in building luxury sustainable single-family estates, and their trio of exquisite, eco-friendly spec homes. The inaugural home will be completed next month; it is a contemporary architectural masterpiece boasting seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, located at 8 Barnes Avenue in East Hampton and priced at $7.5 million.

Setting the home apart and underscoring DeUna’s mission to create beautiful homes with a minimal environmental footprint is its innovative use of concrete as the home’s primary structure. Unlike conventional stick-built construction, widely utilized throughout the Hamptons, concrete frameworks offer unmatched strength, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. This innovative approach ensures enduring structures and minimizes energy consumption over time.

In fact, all three homes in the collection will employ concrete in this fashion, resulting in nearly net-zero homes that are more energy-efficient than their wood counterparts. The homes will also utilize low U-value windows and solar panels as a primary source of energy and are equipped with energy-efficient appliances from Miele.

“Clients are praising the materials, innovative approach, and meticulous attention to detail; we have had great feedback and excitement, says Sara Traverso, also a broker at Nest Seekers International, representing the 8 Barnes home along with D’Alessio. “We have interest from clients who were exploring other areas of the Hamptons, but this house, where sustainability has been accounted for in every single detail, drew them to the area. You just don’t get that in the Hamptons.”

8 Barnes Avenue is listed by Sara Traverso, Bianca D’Alessio, and Douglas Sabo of Nest Seekers. The second home—located at 1694 Millstone Road in Sag Harbor —is currently on the market for $7,850,000, listed by Jack Richardson of SERHANT, and is estimated to be completed in July. 9 Blue Jay Way in East Hampton, designed by DXA Studio, is set for completion soon after.
