This Much I Know Montauk, New York

Property Description

This special spot in the Hither Hills is moments from the shore, a short drive from the Hither Woods Preserve and a few minutes drive from all Montauk's shops and restaurants. With access to a private beach just a few moments away and an easy fifteen-minute drive to East Hampton, locations don't get much better than this.

A fabulous setting, surrounded by greenery but a walk from the sand, make this place feel tucked away and private. Its gardens are beautiful, with a spacious deck just ready for you to pull up a chair and eat alfresco. And the home's interior matches – with more than enough character and style. Bright and beautifully put together, the living room features numerous tall windows and patio doors, along with a roof lantern high up in its beamed ceiling – a nod, perhaps, to nearby Montauk Lighthouse.

And it's rare for us to say it but probably our favourite room here is the kitchen, just a few steps down from the living room and with enough kit to keep even a professional chef happy. Its vaulted ceiling and sliding doors to the deck make it an inviting place, where all the gang will want to hang out over breakfast and dinner.

With plenty of space for a large family or a group of friends, the bedrooms are all smart and comfortable, with cream-coloured wood-clad walls, vaulted ceilings and vintage art that tells the story of this unique coastal area. On warm summer days, spend your time on the beach before coming home and lighting the grill for a barbecue on the deck. The last ones up might even want to sit around the fire pit and gaze at the stars.
