This trailer park home is aiming to sell for the price of a luxury residence.
In Montauk Shores, the tony Hamptons trailer park where an off-market property sold for a record $3.75 million earlier this year, an abode is now seeking $4.4 million for sale.
The 2,150-square-foot property, as it’s advertised in its listing, may appear humble for such a price — but should it trade hands for that sum, the trailer park will have another record on its hands for 2023.
“This outstanding modular home boasts two bedrooms and two bathrooms and is situated right next to the famous Ditch Plains surfing spot, making it an unbeatable location,” boasts the listing for the dwelling, which was constructed in 2015.
Outside the gray box of a property, there’s a wraparound deck leading to an outdoor shower in the back — and inside there’s central air, an open layout and a loft area with four beds that can be used either “as a den or extra living space.”
If the address gets anywhere near its asking price, it’ll set a new record for the affluent trailer park.

“This spot offers breathtaking views of the ocean and is just 75 feet away from Ditch Plains, a renowned surfing destination,” added Mackenzie Burniche of Keller Williams Realty Landmark, who holds the listing.
The domicile, which has been seeking a buyer for 100 days, initially sought $4.99 million — but chopped that price by a little over half-a-million earlier this month.
That off-market number from February currently holds the area record, having beat out the last highest recorded sale — a trailer that traded hands for $1.85 million in 2022. Montauk Shores has attracted the likes of high-profile names such as Jimmy Buffett, who reportedly got into a bidding war for an oceanfront mobile home in 2005, as well as the hedge-fund manager Dan Loeb and Vitaminwater co-founder Darius Bikoff.

Located on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic, Montauk Shores — which contains 199 homes in total — wasn’t always so jaw-droppingly expensive, and the shift has been shocking to longtime locals. When 85-year-old Ken Hilderbrandt bought a trailer there back in 1998, he previously told The Post, he haggled down the price from $150,000 to $96,500.
“The people who are buying in there [Montauk Shores] are no longer firemen from New York City who want to go surfing on the weekend, they’re people who have a lot of money for a second home who say ‘I want to be right where the surf break is,’” Dave Rutkowski, owner of John’s Drive-In, which opened in 1967 on Montauk’s main street, told The Post. “It’s wild to think that a trailer could ever sell for that much money.”
