Sources tell REAL LI that talk show host and comedian Dick Cavett may be selling some of his Montauk property.
Cavett, who moved to Montauk when it was still a sleepy village in the 1960's, lived in the the Stanford White-designed Tick Hall he purchased with his wife actress Carrie Nye. The home and several nearby structures burned down in 1997. The couple painstakingly rebuilt Tick Hall, with the rebuilding project made into a documentary film. Nye died in 2006.
When contacted by REAL LI, Corcoran's Krae Van Sickle denied that Cavett was his client. Among Van Sickle's listings, however, is an 77-acre oceanfront parcel in Montauk. Coincidentally, public records show that among Cavett's Montauk holdings is a 76.8 acre tract of land on DeForest Road. He also owns another nearly 20-acre tract nearby.
