You want a waterfront estate with that Hamptons feel. But you also want to be a lot closer to the city.
It seems the folks at Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty may have just what you need: a luxurious 5,000-square-foot home set on a secluded 3.37-acre estate in Bellport Village.
That is of course if you’re comfortable with the Hamptons-like asking price of $16.5 million. Known as “The Point,” the property is indeed a stunning embodiment of opulence, and is far and away a standout on the local market.
The next highest asking price in the neighborhood is $7.75 million and no other nearby property is asking for over $5 million. Moreover, the estate sits within the South Country School District, where the median home value is about $440,000.
Built in 1929, the five-bed, five-bath home at 16 Point Road is accessible via a private road and a graceful, winding stone driveway.
Just inside the home’s entrance is an expansive living room adorned with high vaulted ceilings, original beams and mahogany-paneled archways. The room features a generous fireplace, ample seating and breathtaking views of the Great South Bay and Fire Island.
‘Rendezvous with fabled grandeur’
The listing agent describes The Point as “a rendezvous with fabled grandeur” and “a piece of Long Island’s fabled past and distinctive present.”
The south elevation boasts a stunning sunroom that opens onto manicured gardens, a patio with a pool and spa, and an expansive lawn leading to a very private sandy beach. The space is bathed in natural light by the near-floor-to-ceiling windows and a skylight bathe the space in natural light; radiant floor heating keeps it cozy in winter.
The home also includes a TV room with built-in bookcases, a gym and numerous en-suite bedrooms that provide serene retreats. The primary bedroom features water views, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bath with radiant heat stone flooring, an oversized soaker tub, and a giant shower and more access to water views.
The Point includes a stunning dining room with built-in window seating, a fully-equipped eat-in kitchen, and a cozy breakfast nook with, you guessed it, more breathtaking water and sky views. Additional bedrooms, bathrooms and a laundry-mudroom “ensure effortless living,” according to the listing.
Outside the home there’s a clay tennis court, lush lawn, sandy beach, garages with room for seven vehicles, and a Gunite pool enclosed by a hedge and white picket gates. Additionally, exquisite sculptures adorn the property.
Bouldered sea wall
Along the shoreline, a deep-water dock and additional outbuildings are just what the doctor ordered for boating and water sports enthusiasts, while the estate’s lush landscaping and bouldered sea wall provide privacy and tranquility.
