Serene Southampton Escape Near Bay and Preserve

Tucked away in one of Southampton’s most scenic enclaves, this charming five-bedroom retreat offers a serene escape surrounded by nature preserves and peaceful water views. Framed by glimpses of Bullhead Bay and Sedona Inlet, the home feels like a world apart — yet just minutes from the beaches, restaurants, and boutique shopping that make Southampton so beloved. Ideal for families or groups seeking both space and style, the home’s gracious design combines the character of a traditional Hamptons residence with the comfort and ease of modern living. Guests will find plenty of room to relax, gather, and recharge, from cozy fireside evenings to long, sunny afternoons exploring the nearby shoreline.

Outside, the home’s natural setting creates a sense of calm and privacy that defines the Hamptons lifestyle. Mornings begin with coffee on the lawn surrounded by the quiet hum of the preserve, and days often unfold with a leisurely paddle or kayak launch from the nearby boat ramp at the end of the road. Guests can explore the nearby bay and inlets, or simply stroll the peaceful lanes where the light changes beautifully through the trees. With ample parking and generous open space, the property makes outdoor living effortless — ideal for morning yoga, afternoon picnics, or evenings spent dining al fresco beneath a canopy of stars. Here, relaxation comes naturally, and every corner of the property invites guests to slow down and savor the stillness.

Inside, the home opens to bright, welcoming rooms that instantly feel like home. The spacious living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, is perfect for gathering with friends or curling up after a day at the beach. The formal dining room offers an elegant setting for shared meals, while the large, fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for home-cooked dinners or casual brunches. A separate den, featuring another wood-burning fireplace and a classic wet bar, provides a comfortable space for evening cocktails or family movie nights. Sunlight fills every room through oversized windows that look out toward the trees and water beyond, creating a natural connection between indoors and out. For guests who need to work remotely, the detached loft above the garage offers a quiet private office — or simply a tranquil hideaway for reading and reflection.

All five main bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged on the second floor, providing privacy and restful retreats for every guest. The primary suite features a luxurious king bed and an en-suite bathroom, creating a serene space for relaxation after a day of beachside adventures. Bedrooms two and three offer a king and a queen bed, respectively, and share a beautifully appointed hall bathroom — ideal for siblings, friends, or family members traveling together. Bedroom five is perfect for additional guests or children, featuring a queen and twin bed with its own en-suite bath. For extra flexibility and privacy, the guest house offers a full bedroom with en-suite bath, as well as an additional full bath and powder room. On the main level of the house, a conveniently placed powder room ensures comfort for daytime use. With six full bathrooms and two half baths throughout the property, each guest enjoys ease and convenience, allowing everyone to get ready for outings or unwind in comfort without waiting.

Beyond the walls of the home, guests are perfectly positioned to experience the best of Southampton living. A short drive brings you to the area’s pristine beaches, where soft sand and gentle surf make for idyllic days by the ocean. Southampton Village is nearby, filled with charming cafés, boutique shops, and art galleries waiting to be explored. Guests can spend their afternoons wandering the local markets, discovering farm stands, or enjoying a leisurely lunch at one of the Hamptons’ acclaimed restaurants. For those who crave adventure, sailing, paddleboarding, and kayaking opportunities abound in the nearby inlets and bays, while golfers and tennis enthusiasts will find premier facilities just minutes away. Whether your days are spent exploring or simply unwinding, this Southampton home offers an exceptional balance of coastal adventure and relaxed sophistication.

Every stay here feels personal and memorable — the kind of vacation where mornings stretch slowly, laughter fills the evenings, and the beauty of the surroundings becomes part of your rhythm. Whether you’re gathering with loved ones for a summer holiday, celebrating a milestone, or simply seeking time away to breathe and reconnect, this home welcomes you with open arms. Classic yet comfortable, private yet perfectly located, it’s the ideal Southampton escape where each guest can truly relax and live the Hamptons experience to the fullest.
