Wondering what your budget can get you on the red-hot North Fork real estate market? We’re here to help, home buyers. In our new biweekly column, we’re spotlighting homes for sale in hamlets across the North Fork at various price points.

Today we’re taking a short road trip via the North Ferry to look at homes for sale in Shelter Island. As on the North Fork, the island’s sales were strong in quarter one of 2021, according to the Hamptons 1Q 2021 Home Sales Report from Town & Country Real Estate. “Shelter Island closed 11 deals in the first quarter of 2021, 57% more than the same time period in 2020,” wrote Judi Desiderio, author of the report and CEO of Town & Country Real Estate. “But the total home sales volume dipped 13.4% and the median home sales price decreased 3%.”

That’s not to say Shelter Island is a place for bargain hunters — the Q1 median home price remained a hefty $795,000. But if you’re looking to buy in this special spot, here’s what on offer, from a three-bedroom cedar-shingled cottage to a unique waterfront compound with million-dollar (actually, $3.75-million-dollar) views.
