Stylish Southampton Pool Home with Sunset Views Over Horse Reserve

Imagine arriving at a quiet lane in the heart of Water Mill, where the landscape opens behind you into protected reserve land and the sky stretches wide toward the horizon. By late afternoon, the light softens across the pool, and as evening approaches, the setting sun casts a warm glow over the reserve—one of those Hamptons sunsets that never looks quite the same twice.

This custom-built retreat was designed for that rhythm—slow mornings, beach days, and long, unhurried evenings outdoors. Just minutes from Southampton Village and the ocean, the home offers a rare combination of proximity and privacy, allowing you to enjoy the best of the Hamptons while feeling completely tucked away.

Recognized among the top homes in the Hamptons by Condé Nast Traveler, the property has consistently earned exceptional guest reviews, with many noting that the experience feels even more special in person than expected.

THE EXPERIENCE
Mornings begin quietly here. Soft natural light fills the home through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, with views extending out over the reserve. Coffee can be enjoyed indoors in the open kitchen or outside on the numerous terraces, where the only sounds are birds and the breeze moving through the landscape.

The home was custom built and thoughtfully designed by a premier award-winning Hamptons architect, with a focus on creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Every space is intentionally positioned to capture light, views, and a sense of openness, while still offering comfort and warmth.

Throughout the day, the home adapts to your pace—whether that means heading out to the beach, exploring nearby villages, or staying in to relax by the pool.

LIVING & ENTERTAINING
The main living areas are open, airy, and designed for gathering. Clean architectural lines, generous seating, and a natural flow between rooms make it easy to spend time together without ever feeling crowded. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped and ideal for both casual meals and more elaborate entertaining. Features include double ovens, two sinks, two dishwashers, and ample counter space, making it as functional as it is inviting. Whether hosting a dinner, preparing a simple breakfast, or enjoying a quiet evening in, the space encourages connection and ease.

BEDROOMS & REST
The home comfortably accommodates up to eight guests across four private, non-adjoining bedrooms—ideal for couples, families, or small groups seeking both shared space and personal privacy. The primary suite is a highlight of the home. Elevated and surrounded by windows, it offers sweeping sunset views over the reserve and a distinctive, almost treehouse-like feel—quiet, private, and immersed in nature. It is a space designed for rest, with a California King bed and a calming, open atmosphere. The primary bathroom is spa-like, featuring a soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower with windows that open onto a sunset. Refined finishes create a sense of relaxation and retreat. Three additional guest bedrooms each feature comfortable queen beds and are thoughtfully positioned to provide separation and quiet. In total, the home includes 4.5 bathrooms, with four spacious showers, including a steam shower—ensuring comfort and convenience for all guests.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Outdoor living is at the core of the experience here. The property has views of a protected reserve land, offering unobstructed views and a sense of space rarely found in the Hamptons. The heated/climatized 12’ x 40’ saltwater gunite pool is ideal for morning swims, afternoon lounging, or cooling off after a day at the beach. Surrounding lounge areas provide space to relax in the sun, read, or simply take in the setting. The outdoor dining area invites long meals under the open sky, while the deck provides additional space to gather throughout the day with outdoor gas fireplace. As evening approaches, the landscape transforms. Sunsets over the reserve become a daily ritual—best enjoyed with a drink in hand and nowhere else to be. For cooler nights, the outdoor fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, extending the outdoor experience well into the evening.
