The Hamptons may conjure images of high hedges and traditional New England architecture, but mod mansions are on the move, flipping faster than their more conservative neighbors.

“Modern homes are happier and much brighter,” says Marc Cléjan, an owner of Modern Net Zero, a firm that builds Hamptons homes that consume zero energy and feature a modern aesthetic. He recently built 5 Quadrant Hill Road in East Hampton, a 4,200-square-foot, six-bedroom, five-bathroom “passive house” that recently sold (it had been asking $2.9 million). “The large windows connect you to nature. A lot of people don’t want to feel cooped up in a cluttered old house while they’re on vacation.”

Not only are sales of modern homes outpacing the competition, they’re commanding huge prices. Pond Lane — a 14.9-acre, four-lot property in Southampton — is on the market for $58 million, including a white-box house with seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a pool and a tennis court. Meanwhile, a “modern barn” at 27 Drew Lane in East Hampton offers a more transitional take on contemporary living, blending new and old design elements to create a 13,626-square-foot, seven-bedroom statement home. It’s asking $65 million.

For those with thinner wallets and a taste for glass houses, 233 Red Dirt Road in Amagansett is a true gem. Built in 1960 by architect Richard Bender, this two-bedroom modern masterpiece is a bargain at a mere $1.8 million.
