Catching up with Christie Brinkley's Hamptons properties

Christie Brinkley is more than an “Uptown Girl”; she’s more-or-less all around town, as the owner of an estimated $80 million in real estate, much of it the Hamptons.

The supermodel, who recently reached a divorce settlement with fourth husband Peter Cook, has been a shrewd real estate investor, buying homes in Bridgehampton, Water Mill, North Haven and Sag Harbor, and another in the Carribbean. As part of the settlement, Cook will receive about $2 million and half of the proceeds of the sale of a boat. Brinkley will retain all of her real estate assets, which are spread out over 18 parcels.

The crown jewel in Brinkley’s real estate holdings is Tower Hill, the 11-bedroom mansion on Brick Kiln Road, built in 1898, currently on the market for $30 million with Susan Breitenbach of The Corcoran Group. The 20-acre spread on three parcels sits 200 feet above sea level with a 50-foot observation tower providing view to the Connecticut shore. Tower Hill has been on and off the market since 2002.

In Water Mill, Brinkley owns a four-bedroom cabin on Flying Point Road just down the road from comedian Mel Brooks. The cabin was briefly listed for sale for $7.9 million last year, before Brinkley changed her mind and took the property off the market.

Brinkley also owns two adjacent homes on Fahys Road in North Haven; one she bought in 2004 as a present for Cook, for $7.15 million. Cook is said to have used the home for his daliances with teen Diana Bianci, with whom he cheated on his wife. Brinkley purchased the second home in 2007 for a reported $11 million.

Brinkley also owns a property on .19 acres on West Water Street in Sag Harbor that records show she purchased in 2006 for $4.59 million.
