A beautiful property but with taxes over $150K added on top of the maintenance costs no wonder these properties become unmanageable

The problem isn't just manageability, but location, of course. Palm Beach and the Hamptons are full of people happily paying such tax bills. Well, maybe not happily...

It is a lovely place. Wonder what its fate will be?

Gorgeous interior rooms. This is a great location in which to live year round and the excellent Jericho School System easily makes this a very desirable town. 150K is not unusual for a property of this magnitude on LI.

The taxes on a comparable property in the Hamptons are actually much lower.
