Life on the North Fork is casual and easy. Less traffic, less formal, and more varied than on the South Shore. All kinds of water to explore, from wildlife on the creeks, to the quiet warm bays, to sunsets on the Long Island Sound. Dig for clams, collect mussels on the rocks, and enjoy the fantastic farm stands and wineries.
The house itself is set off a small quiet road, down a curving private drive, and is invisible from the road. Privacy is a rare commodity in a popular vacation area. The pool is right behind the house and deck, so no buggy hikes. And you can talk to guests in the pool and watch the kids while dining on the deck. The yards are fully fenced to keep the deer out.
The surrounding land was a Christmas tree farm in the '60's, and the remaining huge Norway spruces create a magical atmosphere, part Long Island and part Marin county.
A bio-organic tomato farm around the corner is an August delight. Golf, fishing, tennis all nearby, no need for long drives.
