Location: Southold, North Fork, Long Island, New York, USA (Equidistant from Greenport and Southold)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
A beautiful circular driveway greets you as you arrive to El Tigre, a newly renovated waterfront house, on a private salt water lake in the town of Southold bordering Greenport. Boating, waterskiing, kayaking, sailing, snorkeling and swimming off your back door. Home sits on an idyllic spot, with 150 feet of beachfront. The home is hypoallergenic: all organic materials and only renewable resources were used for its construction. Solar energy.
El Tigre is very Zen, and was arranged using feng-shui principles. Furnished with beautiful antiques or environmentally friendly furnishings. All those who visit find it to be a magical place of peace and rest. Three bedrooms, two baths, including en suite master bedroom overlooking the water . Brand new kitchen with all new appliances, including chef’s AGA stove. Laundry room in full basement which doubles as a children’s playroom.
Outdoors, you will find a children’s swing set overlooking beautiful Arshamomaque Pond, a lovely outdoor shower with beach stone floors and bamboo siding, 2/3 of an acre all on the water, hammocks and herb gardens. Not to mention the most spectacular sunsets in the world. El Tigre has unobstructed water views and is a swim or kayak away from the Town of Southold's Arshamomaque Pond Preserve. Water life includes scallops and clams, swans, egrets, turtles, osprey and many others. Water is clean and gets nice and warm in the summer.
We are situated in an undiscovered location that we call the best kept secret in the North Fork which itself remains largely undiscovered and tranquil. Other beaches abound: we once visited a different beach for each day of a month. With close to thirty wineries and vineyards within a short driving distance, and more farms than you will ever need, you will have a choice of dining out at the many local restaurants, or eating in to take advantage of the local produce, fish, and wines. The nearest farm, Farmer Joe’s, is walking distance. Pick from the many herbs in our herb garden, including tons of lavender, to prepare your favorite meal. We can also recommend catering services.
Kayak, bikes, motor boats may be rented. Five minute drive to the beautiful waterfront Island’s End Golf Course. Other golf courses include the famous Bethpage black, about one hour’s drive. The Long Island National and Cherry Creek are less than half an hour’s drive. All of the above are public golf courses.
Deep sea fishing available off of Greenport, which is located three miles from the home. Greenport is a historic New England style village, with lots of quaint boutiques, antique shops and restaurants. Shelter Island is accessible by ferry, and is a great place to hike, bike, or dine on Sunset Beach. Take another ferry to the beautiful village of Sag Harbor, in the Hamptons. Manhattan is accessible by luxury bus, and a day trip to catch a show is easily done. Other day trips include a visit to the Foxwood Casino, to the beautiful village of New London, Connecticut, to the Mystic Seaport and Aquarium. Or just stay home and enjoy our little corner of paradise.
Rent includes all utilities, weekly cleaning on monthly rentals, 100% organic cotton bed linens and towels, beach towels. Cable TV, local and long distance phone service to certain countries, rubbish and trash removal, and a high speed internet wireless connection, so you can work on the beach.
