Hamptons Cottages & Garden magazine is sponsoring the 2008 Idea House in Sagaponack on Long Island. The house is actually a Victorian farmhouse that was formerly owned by novelist James Jones. Sag Harbor developer Peter Sabbeth and his ModernGreenHome company have put a two-story, modern green addition on the back of the house and placed the property on the market for $12.9 million, without any furniture. The antique furniture you’ll find inside the house right now (it’s $30 to enter and open Thursday through Sunday until August 24) was chosen by local designers selected by the magazine. Other items have been created from recycled materials; architect Campion Platt, who fitted out the family sitting room, formed three rugs from discarded cowhide scraps.
