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.
This week, we’re dreaming of the beach. There’s nothing better than a beach day when Memorial Day rolls around…except that is, a beach day you can experience with no loading up the car, no parking permit needed and no panicking when you realize you forgot the sunscreen. These homes are all right on the sand, so that SPF you forgot to pack is right inside your own back door.
Here’s what’s on offer on the beach and how much it might cost you, from $679,000 for a cliffside home in Baiting Hollow all the way to the eastern tip of the fork, where you’ll pay $2.55 million for 100 feet of rare Orient Village beachfront.
A deck-side beach on a cliff in Baiting Hollow
This two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home is perched on a dramatic cliff overlooking the Long Island Sound, has dramatic views you can enjoy your own little piece of sand out back. Built in 1959 and recently updated, the space has a modern kitchen, open plan and master suite with a clawfoot tub overlooking the beach. It’s listed for $679,000 by H & G Realty New York.
A 1920s beach cottage in Wading River
This sweet little beach cottage, built in 1920, has two bedrooms, one bath, a wood-burning fireplace and Long Island Sound views from every window.

A chic shack near Greenport Village
This petite and stylish one-bedroom has a unique history and a unique location.

It’s about 700 square feet and features two screened-in porches. The property is listed for $1.195 by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
