A 25 year Retrospective of Ira Rennert's Fair Field, Sagaponack

Esperanza and Irwin discuss Fair Field from the beginning to present day.  The plan to construct a 100,000 square foot compound on 63 oceanfront acres sent shock waves throughout the East End.  Fair Field had its own power plant, a 100 car garage and multiple outbuildings. Yet the compound violated no laws, in fact it taking up less than 10% of the property.   While its sheer size was staggering, was it really any different than what occurred in the 19th century Gilded Age, or the grandeur estates constructed on Nassau County's Gold Coast in the early 20th century?  Did it irrevocably change Sagaponack's character, or has Fair Field actually been a relatively quiet, off radar neighbor?  Join as we reflect back, and ponder if Fair Field will remain a private residence long term.
