Experience waterfront living in this charming shingle-styled beach cottage. Located at the end of (private) Shaw Road on +/- .68 acres, the property has 75 feet of water frontage and a private sandy beach. A nine acre parcel purchased in 1887 by Charles Henry Shaw was divided into building lots and became known as Shaw Estates. This special property is part of that division and has become available for the first time in five generations. Time has pretty much stood still here. This property, though walking distance to Sag Harbor Village, is remarkably quiet, even on the busiest weekends.
While the house is live in ready, you may choose to renovate the existing 3 BR 2 1/2 bath cottage to suit your needs or start over and build your dream home on this sizable property. There is room for a pool. Enjoy this house for water-based activities like boating, swimming and sailing. A private boat mooring is permitted with ownership of the property. Go fishing or clamming for dinner. Walk the beach barefoot. Or seek the solitude and the beauty of nature and paddle your kayak up Little Northwest Creek s Nature Preserve and enter the world of the wild things. Great blue Herons, Egrets, and Osprey live there. If you time it right, on your return trip, you can watch the sun go down over the breakwater. The sunsets can be spectacular, and many have been watched and enjoyed from the front porch swing. The sweet light at this time of day is part of why some people who have stayed here have called this place magical.
Nearby are several golf courses, some of which are world-class. In the village is Mashashimuet Park with a fun playground for kids as well as tennis and pickleball courts. The Breakwater Yacht club offers sailing lessons and hosts JY sailboat races. Bay Street Theater always has something interesting going on. Take in a movie at the restored Sag Harbor Cinema. Stroll Main Street. Shop. Dine. Visit galleries. Or stay home, sit on the porch swing and watch the sun go down.
