House by the Sea: Flying Point Road
1131 Flying Point Road, Water Mill
You've always talked about that great beach house you'd buy near Southampton, perhaps on Flying Point Rd near enough to the village but far from the crowds. Hopefully the views would also include blazing sunsets across Mecox Bay. Of course, since you are an early bird, sunrise beach walks are right up your alley. Wouldn't it be nice too if you could just plop your furniture in without having to do any renovations or better yet, buy the designer's offering already there? Certainly you imagine the languorous lunches and intimate moonlit dinners youll enjoy, all prepared in the new state of the art kitchen . And naturally you would expect room for expansion down the road. Y...

Certainly you imagine the languorous lunches and intimate moonlit dinners youll enjoy, all prepared in the new state of the art kitchen . And naturally you would expect room for expansion down the road. You say you already own that big estate off the water with pool and tennis? Well wouldn't this serve as a great beach bungalow during the day and a perfect guest house for the overflow at night. Imagine the bonfires on the beach with food being prepared right inside. You had better hurry though as there aren't many 3 bedroom beach houses at this price hanging around at the moment. In fact, maybe you should call today.
About Water Mill
The American Revolution is modern history to Water Mill, where grist for its water-powered mill was first ground in 1644. But it was the arrival of the Long Island Rail Road, in 1875, that shaped the Water Mill of today.

The mill still works and the wealthy still flock to Water Mill.
The hamlet has three magnificent beaches: Flying Point, Mecox, and Dead End. And there are still huge areas of woodsy wilderness, like the 148-acre Laurel Valley Country Park. Robert Wilson's Watermill C...

The hamlet has three magnificent beaches: Flying Point, Mecox, and Dead End. And there are still huge areas of woodsy wilderness, like the 148-acre Laurel Valley Country Park. Robert Wilson's Watermill Center, where the avante garde visionary develops new work in collaboration with students and professionals, is the East Endâs newest cultural mecca.
More mundane, yet still brilliant, are Hampton Coffee and the Green Thumb farm stand, which are conveniently located next door to each other on Montauk Highway. Hampton Coffee does make the island's best and its down-home food is lip-smacking good. Green Thumb, with its 300 varieties of locally grown organic produce, is the best explanation of why slow cooking is so darned delish.
