A Private Dunes Retreat in Amagansett
Behind a charming wooden gate, on a quiet Amagansett Dunes lane, lies a world of its own, just a short distance from the ocean beach. At the heart of the property, a saltwater gunite pool is bordered by a bluestone patio on one side and lushly landscaped lawn on the other, evoking a private resort more than a backyard. Dual heating systems extend the swimming season of this 25′ x 15′ pool to six months or more. To the side of the house, an oversized enclosed outdoor shower, multiple beach-gear sheds, and a full-house generator handle the practical side of Hamptons living. Then comes the real magic: at the back of the property, a 2.5-acre dune preserve unfolds in complete privacy, with no neighbors in sight. At nightfall, the star-filled sky overhead is something guests often call unforgettable. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed as an “upside-down” house, placing main living spaces upstairs to capture sweeping dune views from a wraparound porch off the open-concept great room with fireplace, flowing easily from a light-filled, renovated kitchen to a private outdoor space for grilling and entertaining. The primary suite occupies the second floor with an en-suite bath and radiant heat. Downstairs, antique brick floors with radiant heat warm two additional bedrooms and a full bath, along with a wood-burning stove, a kitchenette, laundry room, and a flexible bonus room currently used as an office. Ample space remains to expand to a fourth bedroom and third bath, if desired. Turnkey and move-in ready – a rare combination of true privacy, resort-style outdoor living, and proximity to the ocean, almost impossible to find together in the Dunes.
