Yahoo Lifestyle Kayak to the Beach From the Private Dock of This $26 Million Home in the Hamptons
Summer rentals in the Hamptons have long lured New Yorkers and others looking for some sunshine and sand between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the traditional opening and closing of the summer season. The string of beach towns that comprise the Hamptons have become so popular that a good summer rental, like a brand-new estate in Water Mill, easily runs more than the cost of purchasing most homes in America. But if you’d rather put down some roots and spend time in the Hamptons during the quieter off-seasons, a finer choice cannot be made than this nearly $26 million pond-front home in sleepy Sagaponack.
Built in 2008, the Faruk Yorgancioglu-designed residence sits on an acre of land with calming views over Sagaponack Pond toward the Atlantic Ocean. Six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, plus a powder room, make up its 6,000 square feet of tranquil living space, which has been comfortably appointed by acclaimed interior designer Steven Gambrel. Five wood-burning fireplaces and a private dock for rowing or paddleboarding to the ocean are among its relaxed charms.

As you pass through the home’s Shingle-style façade, a long corridor breaks off into a series of light-filled rooms visible from the foyer. The combination living and dining space makes an ideal spot for an aperitif or a nightcap relaxing by the fireplace, while the great room includes the chef’s kitchen, complete with high-end appliances and two side-by-side porcelain farmhouse sinks. The massive island doubles as a breakfast bar. Elsewhere lies the formal dining room, with room for 10 or more, and a den, which has a fireplace and a pretty view of the dock extending out over the pond.
The natural settings come even more into focus via the en-suite bedrooms on the second floor. The primary bedroom features a cathedral ceiling complimented by a massive fireplace, pale blue walls, and an attached sunroom. The en-suite bath features a soaking tub wrapped in tile, plus a separate glass-door shower. Other bedrooms are equally luxurious, complete with fireplaces and private bathrooms. There’s also a gym on the upper level for those who wish to break a sweat.
A screened patio alongside the pool is perfect for a summer luncheon, while the ample decking around the pool has plenty of room for sunbathing beds. A fully equipped pool cabana offers a bathroom, changing rooms, and a sauna. The property’s private dock rounds out the home’s summer-ready amenities and makes it easy for kayakers and paddle boarders to make their way across the pond to popular Sagg Main Beach.
Marilyn Clark and Raquel Lopez of Sotheby’s International Realty – Bridgehampton Brokerage are co-listing the home along with Deborah Pirro and Diane Anderson of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty.
