52 Lily Pond Lane: Martha's Dilemma

Brace yourselves, Hamptonites. It looks like the builder's acre next to Martha Stewart's Lily Pond Lane estate did in fact come on the market. And if Martha's previous track-record is to be any indication, we can safely expect the shrub line between Martha's pad and this new property to become the most volatile fault line south of the Sound.

The acre in question is listed for $7.5 million with Prudential. The listing says the parcel, which currently houses a converted carriage house, can support a 5,100 square foot main house, a pool, and a detached garage.

About a decade ago, Martha famously - and successfully - accused her old Georgica Pond neighbor of illegally "suburbanizing the area with inappropriate dark greenery." And those were just bushes. A 5,100 square foot McMansion? Oh hell no.

The humanitarian in us says Martha should just buy the property and be done with it. The blogger in us, however, wants to see what happens the first time her new Yuppie neighbors show up asking for sugar.
