"This Water Mill house has to be one of the Hamptons best-kept secrets"
Nestled amongst the trees on a perfectly situated waterfront block, this Water Mill house has to be one of the Hamptons best-kept secrets.
Positioned at the front of the site to take advantage of glorious sunsets, the outdoor deck, seating area and lawn are a focal point for relaxing, cocktails and dining. The beautifully tended gardens which surround the property give way to natural foliage and wildflower that cascade down to the water and bay views beyond. The waterside rotunda (gazebo) also offers a unique vantage point at sunset to enjoy an evening drink or moment of solitude.
A grassy pathway leading past the pond provides direct access to the waterfront revealing a treasure trove of watercraft for your enjoyment - three Kayaks, two sailing boats and a 12 foot motorised RIB for journeys onto the bay and magnificent beach beyond. The calm waters of calf creek also provide the perfect launching point for stand up paddle boards - journey onto Hayground Cove, Mecox Bay or for the more adventurous (and energetic) directly onto Scott Cameron Beach.
The pool area is fabulous - sunny, shady and secluded. There are several sun lounges and umbrellas and the area is securely fenced off from the main lawn area.
In the main house, bedroom accommodation is flexible (three bedrooms sleeping six) with the ante room of the master suite providing additional accommodation for overnight guests. The guest house also provides privacy in comfort for up to four guests. The kitchen is fully equipped for entertaining although summer nights afford the opportunity for frequent barbecuing and al fresco dining.
Several beaches, Bridgehampton village and the fantastic nearby farm-stand are easily reached on one of the many bicycles provided. There are numerous shady lanes nearby which are also great for scenic cycling journeys in the Watermill and Bridgehampton area.
We have enjoyed summer, after summer, after summer at this house and cannot recommend it (or its owners) more highly. This is an amazing home away from home!
