Why this mobile home in a caravan park has a $5 million price tag

Caravan parks can also be for the rich and famous.

A two-bedroom, one-bathroom mobile home at 100 Deforest Road in Montauk in the US has hit the market for $US3.2 million ($AU4.8 million).

Just a few rows back from Ditch Plain Beach, the community of about 199 homes has fast become a millionaire’s playground. Vitamin Water co-founder J. Darius Bikoff has a property on the estate and another mobile home in the area sold for $US 3.75 million ($AU5.6 million) in February last year.

Montauk is a village at the east end of Long Island in the state of New York. A-list stars and New York City rich-listers flock there in summer and many own holiday homes.

Christine Sparacino of RE/MAX Sparrow Realty holds the listing.

The mobile home is essentially a beach shack and contains two bedrooms, a full bathroom, living room, outdoor shower, deck and a “private driveway”.

Shared amenities include a clubhouse, pool, playground and basketball court.

Sparacino suggests on the listing that the property is not just a home but a “slice of paradise” with the “exciting possibility to expand and customise your living space to suit your preferences”.

Such possibilities include adding bedrooms or creating an outdoor entertainment area, subject to council approval.

Sparacino says that the property offers a “lifestyle of perpetual vacation and tranquility”.
