House proud

The original footprint is from 1989 but the current owners gave this bespoke estate a do-over in 2018, customizing it for an active lifestyle centered on recreation, health and wellness. Those amenities include a fully equipped barn and riding arena for horse trainers and riders; a wine-barrel-style sauna with steam and hot rocks, a putting green and 16 raised garden beds ready for farm-to-table culinary use.

Kristy Naddell, the Douglas Elliman listing agent representing the property, says, “There’s a shift in home buyers wanting wellness and sustainability now, and the North Fork provides that with unique properties like this that offer a variety of ways to integrate that into your lifestyle.”

She added that though there’s a “large equestrian component to the property, there’s a bigger aspect toward a healthy lifestyle and with lots of possibilities to adapt the buildings to those uses.”

What’s the plan?

The first floor features all the common rooms in a circular flow that gives the 1,499 square feet of space on this level a sense of airiness and easy room to room movement. The living room, kitchen and dining areas all offer egress to a sunroom, patio or a deck. Naddell calls the 350-square-foot wood-beamed sunroom that overlooks the paddocks “the heart of the home.” The second floor is dedicated to the 280-square-foot primary ensuite bedroom and two bedrooms that share a hallway full bathroom. The lower level features a 354-square-foot exercise room (inquire with agent about the possibility of purchasing the equipment), a 225-square-foot recreation room, a bedroom, wet bar, full bathroom and a flexible room. 

What’s cooking?

The kitchen and breakfast nook, a combined 245 square feet, feature Jenn-Air and Thermador appliances and white quartz counters. 

What else?

The barn and stable are fully retrofitted to equip equestrians and their horses. There’s a six-stall barn, inside riding arena, tack room with laundry facilities, and a separate flexible structure for lounging or recreation. There is also a separate artist’s studio.

There are numerous ways to enjoy a sustainable lifestyle on this estate—from the chicken coop with 20 chickens and productive Flow beehives to raised bed organic gardens and a planted merlot vineyard. 

Agent’s callout 

“Once you enter the gates, you don’t know where you are – you could be in California or Montana, but you’re definitely in your own private oasis,” Naddell says. “I keep saying luxury isn’t what you have, but how you live and this property really embodies all that by combining sustainability, wellness and luxury together.”  

 

Location, location, location

“This is the heart of the North Fork,” Naddell says, surrounded by farmland and offering easy access to everything. The estate is one mile from the center of Jamesport, 2.4 miles from South Jamesport Beach and Park, and 1.7 from Laurel. Numerous vineyards are within close proximity.
