It’s Free to Look Hamptons: 55 Dune Road, Bridgehampton

If gaudy isn't really your thing, this beachfront property offers as close to an authentic nature experience as is possible when you're looking to spend $14.95 million. Think of it as luxury housing's answer to pitching a tent on the beach.

There are some who believe the world's most impressive mansion belongs to Mother Nature. We really hope that's true, because at 55 Dune Road, the four bedrooms, five and half bathrooms, two-car garage and "ultra-sleek" cabana can feel a little cramped. Entertaining areas are "outdoors" and "multiple," according to the Sotheby's listing. The pool has a double infinity edge, to maximize a psychic communion with the ocean beyond.

It's the setting, apparently, that makes the place special. But we're a little concerned that the "forever-protected" views from the beach house only span 270 degrees. At the risk of sounding rustic, we recommend that to experience a full 360 degrees of nature, you do your viewing outside. — William Alden
