North Fork Dream Home: $1,999,000 Soundfront property in Southold

Perhaps the best asset of this week’s North Fork Dream Home is the assurance that if you owned this property, virtually nothing could mar your view of the Sound.

That’s because the property, which is listed for $1,999,000 and located on Hortons Lane in Southold, isn’t situated on a bluff — making the walk to the sand that much easier.

“That particular stretch I have always affectionately called the ‘Dune Road of the North Fork,’ ” said listing agent Nicholas Planamento of Town and Country Real Estate.

The family who built the home in the 1960s originally owned a Soundfront parcel in Peconic, he said, but found its elevation a barrier when it came to taking full advantage of the property.

“They could never enjoy the beach. It was complicated to have stairs and literally hike up a bluff,” Planamento said. “When they found this lot in the early 1960s they loved it because of its immediate access to the Long Island Sound for swimming.”

The listing was just made public this week, though it has quietly been on the market for about a month, Planamento said. It is also available as a rental home.

“It’s a charming, easy-to-use home,” Planamento said. “It’s an expanded ranch with three bedrooms and it’s lovingly well-maintained. It’s the ideal property for someone to move in and use.”

And although the .65 acres lot does afford plenty of privacy — it’s surrounded by tall trees and abuts the shorefront — it’s also fairly close to downtown Southold.

“It has a wonderful spirit,” Planamento said. “It is a true beach home built to create memories.”
