luxury houses with terrace for sale Water Mill, United States

There are homes that look beautiful in photos, and then there are homes that make you understand the scale, privacy, and presence only after you pull through the gates. This is one of those homes. The location makes it even better. You are about 10 minutes to Ponquogue Beach on Dune Road, about 17 minutes to Cooper’s Beach in Southampton, and still close enough to get to Cowfish for brunch on the water. It gives you privacy, scale, and a true Hamptons lifestyle without feeling like the whole world is watching from the hedges.As you arrive at the end of the cul-de-sac, the setting immediately feels private and established. The double entrance gates are framed by lush landscaping on both sides, and the keypad entry makes it easy for guests to arrive without any fuss. The curving driveway sets the tone beautifully, with mature plantings along the adjoining properties creating year-round privacy. It feels completely discreet, with just the right framed views of the gardens to complement the stately brick exterior and copper details of the home.Inside, what stood out to me right away was the size of the rooms. The photos are beautiful, but the home feels even larger in person. The entry foyer is impressive, and the formal receiving room has a rich wood inlay detail and a fireplace that anchors the space perfectly. It feels elegant.The family room is exactly where everyone will naturally gather. This room has a large sectional, built-in bookcases, and a custom TV cabinet that brings in the warmth of real woodwork we aren't seeing anymore. It feels comfortable, substantial, and made for us.The kitchen and dining areas are just as generous. You could easily host 10 to 12 people without trying too hard. The views out to the bluestone patio make the space feel connected to the outdoors, and the built-in Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator and freezer are ready for our weekend dinners, holidays, and time by the pool. The island and breakfast bar keep everyone in the kitchen, but with enough space so no one is in your way while you are actually trying to cook.Just off the kitchen and garage is a beautifully finished home office with custom woodwork and textured wall panels. Across the hall is a guest or nanny bedroom with a full bathroom, giving us a practical layout for extended stays, staff, or anyone who needs a private first-floor space.Upstairs, the scale continues. There is a second office with wood bookcases, natural lighting from the exterior access to a Juliet balcony overlooking the front entry. Each bedroom has its own en-suite full bath, which makes the choices easier. The primary suite is especially impressive, with mine and your closets and enough room for an Alaskan king bed, yes, the 9-foot by 9-foot kind. That tells you everything you need to know about the size of the room.The walk-up third level adds built-in storage, which is one of those details you appreciate more and more as life accumulates. The lower level is fully finished with a gym, media room, bathroom, and second laundry area, giving everyone plenty of space to spread out.The backyard is where the property really becomes something special. It is completely private, with a bluestone dining patio, a fenced lounge deck by the pool, and a waterfall feature that gives the whole space that quiet resort feeling. There is also the option to purchase the separate rear lot, which the current owners have used to preserve the curated garden aesthetic.That second lot opens up a very interesting possibility. It could remain as part of the private oasis, or it could offer the opportunity to create a connected compound with a separate home and its own entrance from Fordham Road. Translation: everyone can be close, but not necessarily under the same roof all weekend. We meet at the pool. That is the civilized plan.

Here’s what I love about 2120 Crown Land Lane in Cutchogue. The first thing that stood out to me was the setting. Across the street, you have this beautiful stretch of woods that will not be built on, and it gives the front porch such a calm, private feeling. Sitting there in the evening, catching the sunset over that side of the neighborhood, you immediately understand why this house feels different. The approach is also beautifully done. The driveway is finished with Belgian block edging, the walkways to the front and back of the home have landscape lighting, and the evergreens along the property create this polished, private view of the house and backyard. It feels manicured, but not stiff. Then you get to the backyard, and honestly, this is where the house really shows off. The grilling pavilion is fantastic, but the fire pit area is one of the best conversation spaces I have seen. A radius-cut floating bluestone bench wraps around individual seating areas and a 4-foot fire pit, all set on a bluestone patio and anchored by a stunning magnolia tree. Just beyond that, there is a bocce ball court, the pool area, and another outdoor room that makes the whole backyard feel like a private resort. What makes it even better is that all of these outdoor spaces have speakers and lighting, so whether it is a quiet night by the fire or a full summer gathering, the atmosphere is already built in. Inside, the kitchen is exactly what you hope to find. Thermador appliances, a 4-burner gas cooktop with griddle, beverage drawers, wine storage, double ovens, microwave, and this incredible shade of blue on the island and cabinetry that gives the space personality without feeling trendy. It is custom, useful, and beautiful all at once. The home also has speakers in the kitchen, den, and living room with fireplace, along with Lutron smart home lighting, which makes entertaining feel easy. The bathrooms are beautifully updated with tile selections that feel current, but timeless. Add in access to amazing sandy beaches in the Cutchogue Park District, the library, school, diner, and easy access to the Hampton Jitney for NYC, and this home starts to make a lot of sense. It has so many of the features people are looking for in new construction, but without the new construction price tag. That is why I love it.

Set on 175 feet of private sandy beachfront with a 136' dock, this Shinnecock Bay waterfront residence is designed to highlight its panoramic setting and create a natural flow between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape. Multiple elevations and extensive glasswork frame open bay views from morning through evening, emphasizing light, orientation, and connection to the water. The open-concept main level includes a chef's kitchen with Wolf appliances, pantry, and a wall of glass doors that transition to the full-length mahogany deck, extending the living area directly toward the bay, infinity-edge pool, and spa. The first-floor waterfront primary suite features two walk-in closets, a spa bath with jacuzzi, and private access to the deck. A separate guest suite with private entrance, powder room, mudroom, and attached two-car garage complete the main level.

Two additional en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets, a laundry room, and a second powder room provide flexibility and privacy.

Homes offering this combination of substantial water frontage, docking capability, and modern construction are limited, making it a notable opportunity for buyers seeking direct waterfront access.

Okay, so the first thing, you get out of the car and this farmhouse style has the front porch that actually has room for a side table and chair to have my morning coffee in peace that I have wanted so badly. Then inside, the half bath is right next to the front door, but it's tucked far enough away from the open living room and kitchen that it doesn't feel awkward when all of us are hanging out. The kitchen has the paneled fridge, a real pantry closet and open shelves that I have always liked. The kitchen sink is setup where I am staring out to the backyard when I am stuck doing dishes, so good. They even say there is room for a pool. Then the dining room has this full glass slider to the yard, so the whole back of the house is just filled with light, you can even see the view of the yard from the living room. Upstairs, the ensuite bathroom is honestly my favorite surprise, the floor is so interesting, and the whole space feels calm with the finishes they picked. Even the downstairs bathroom has this beautiful wallpaper that makes this new construction feel intentional, not an afterthought. What I love is this location makes you feel like you found a secret corner of Greenport. You're literally tucked up against the maple tree forest, so it's quiet and green in the best way. The backyard is fully fenced so if the decision is for the pool, it doesn't feel tight. And because this one is New Construction, everything just feels solid and reliable. Best part, the house is also a half mile away from the LIRR train station and Hampton Jitney stop to get to NYC, then Aldo's coffee shop is a 3 minute bike ride or 10 minute walk. I think this might be the one, you have to come see it.
