Ex-model Brinckley buys home with private beach

Lovely former model Christie Brinkley and architect hubby Peter Cook have paid $7.5m for a new home in the Hamptons, the exclusive beach neighbourhood outside New York City.

The 4.4 acre estate includes a 10,000-square-foot Victorian mansion with six bedrooms, huge swimming pool and private beach.

Christie, Peter and their kids won’t be moving in soon, though, they are planning to rent it this summer for $295,000.
