Just seven minutes from the heart of East Hampton Village, a long, winding gravel driveway leads to a private country estate tucked away on seven acres of lush, natural landscape. Secluded from the bustle of summer yet remarkably close to town, this five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath residence offers the rare luxury of complete privacy, with space to slow down and savor the season. Spanning approximately 5,000 square feet, the home is designed for the kind of summer spent as much at home as on the beach. Mornings begin with coffee on the private patio off the vaulted primary suite, afternoons unfold over leisurely poolside lunches, and evenings bring everyone together for long dinners prepared in the chef's kitchen. Featuring a generous island, Wolf range and double ovens, Sub-Zero appliances, and a butler's pantry with additional refrigeration and dishwasher, the kitchen is designed for effortless entertaining. A soaring double-height, barn-style great room invites gathering, while a wood-paneled library offers a quiet escape. Overlooking the grounds, the expansive screened porch features separate spaces for lounging and dining, perfect for afternoon reading, alfresco meals, and conversations long after sunset. Outdoors, a pathway leads to a heated Gunite pool, bluestone patio, and charming pool house, setting the scene for sun-soaked afternoons. A playground and built-in fire pit offer additional places to gather, while the surrounding greenery and open landscape create a sense of complete seclusion. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet afternoon, the property feels like a private world of its own. Thoughtfully arranged for comfort and flexibility, the home features a vaulted primary suite with dual bathrooms and walk-in closets, plus a separate guest wing with three spacious en suite bedrooms, sitting areas, and picturesque views. The finished lower level includes a bedroom and bath, home office, bonus room, private entrance, and patio with hot tub, offering an inviting retreat for extended family, guests, or staff. Additional comforts include heated bathroom floors, two laundry rooms, and high-speed internet with strong Wi-Fi throughout. For those who believe the best part of summer is having nowhere else they need to be, this exceptional East Hampton estate offers an idyllic setting to gather, unwind, and make the season entirely your own.
