Living on the North Fork can be a tantalizing proposition, with its historic villages, farm-to-table (and other!) restaurants, iconic farms and close proximity to the water. Whether you’re looking for a house to put down roots, a second family home or a weekend getaway, there is plenty to choose from.
Here are five North Fork open houses scheduled for this weekend, priced from $745,000 to $18 million, offering simple waterfront living as well as a resort-quality waterside compound, a historic Victorian farmhouse in the country and a few things in between.
