If you dream of a rustic escape in the form of a luxury hunting lodge in the Adirondacks, but you really don’t want to be far from the ocean, this Arts & Crafts-style estate on five-and-a-half acres in East Hampton is just what you’re looking for. Asking $5,995,000, Pine Eden at 9 Two Holes of Water Road is a 7,200-square-foot retreat–with guest quarters, patios, a pool and a spa–with the East End’s beaches nearby.
With a look you don’t often find on the East End, a majestic great room is the heart of the home. Beneath 16-foot ceilings, this dramatic living space is anchored by the sort of massive stone fireplace that you might expect to see in a Roosevelt-era Adirondack lodge.
Countless bespoke details have been maintained and upgraded. The all-season home takes full advantage of both indoor and outdoor charms. A wood-paneled library/den gets fancy with harlequin-stained wood floors and a handcrafted copper wet bar; a light-filled home office opens onto a large stone patio.
A large, well-appointed gourmet kitchen is a study in European country style. The adjacent formal dining room wears a hand-painted wall mural by a well-known decorative artist that’s as verdant as the home’s surroundings.
Surrounding the home, you’ll find 3,000 square feet of flagstone patio space for entertaining in grand style, anchored by a towering outdoor hearth of Connecticut fieldstone. Down a shaded stone path is a heated gunite saltwater pool and spa.
Also on the main floor, a sprawling primary suite has its own stone fireplace. This dramatic suite is served by two bathrooms and a dual dressing area.
Upstairs is a pretty pair of guest suites. A second stair leads to more guest rooms that share a kitchenette and living room.
A three-bay garage means cars and gear needn’t compete for space. Though this private Hamptons camp may not have the seclusion of a way-upstate estate, it offers the villages and beaches of Sag Harbor and East Hampton within easy reach.
