As REAL LI reported yesterday, comedian and talk show host Dick Cavett is selling off part of his Montauk holdings.
Listing agent and Corcoran senior managing director Krae Van Sickle today has confirmed that Cavett is asking $30 million for a 76.8-acre waterfront parcel on DeForest Road.
Van Sickle tells REAL LI that Cavett is not selling Tick Hall, the home he owned with late wife Carrie Nye. That house, which was rebuilt after a fire in 1997, sits on adjacent land. The rebuilding of Tick Hall is the subject of a documentary film, From the Ashes.
Van Sickle says that Cavett has been in talks for many years with Suffolk County and the Town of East Hampton to purchase the nearly 77-acres for conservation purposes, but that deal has not yet been sealed and the land is now also available on the open market.
