$1 million rental in Sagaponack sells instead

Chalk up another one for Sotheby’s International Realty’s super-agent Beate Moore.

Moore tells REAL LI that her $19.9 million Sagaponack listing has gone into contract “for close to the listed sales price” and that the deal should close “very quickly,” as early as next month. Moore says the new owner of the eight-bedroom, 12,000-square-foot home on Parsonage Lane is a European. She declined to provide further details on the buyer’s identity.

The home had also been listed as a $1 million rental for the summer 2008 season. Moore says that another party had made an offer to rent the property for close to the amount, but was turned down in light of the sale. The seller of the property is real estate agent Andrew Saunders, who did not represent himself in the sale.

Moore’s last big sale was the $60 million deal on the Gin Lane mega-mansion once owned by producer Marty Richards. That sale closed in March. Tiger Woods had been rumored to be the buyer of that home, but Moore and Woods himself have steadfastly denied his involvement in the transaction.
