It may be the “quiet season” on the East End, but new building remains active throughout the towns and villages. Perched on the outskirts of Sag Harbor, a six-lot subdivision is just one of the many new developments on the scene that are under construction.
Known as Lighthouse Landing, the subdivision is more than 2 acres and abuts Washington Avenue and Hampton Road, also known as Route 114, which connects East Hampton with Sag Harbor.
David Reiner, who owned the land and decided to subdivide it, feels there is a need in the village for new homes. “It’s a great setting for a family with a pool and a yard in the village,” he said. “There are a lot of smaller, interesting houses, but there’s an appetite for new houses in the village.”
The traditional cedar shake homes, ranging in price from $1.645 million to $1.95 million, are designed by McDonough and Conroy Architects and built by Master Builders Villadom Custom Homes. The houses range from about 2,900 square feet to a little more than 4,000. In various stages of completion, the homes—two of which are finished—have four bedrooms, between 3.5 and 4.5 baths, a den or living room with a fireplace, a pool, two-car garage and a full basement.
“In general, there has been much activity and interest in these houses,” said Sandra Morell, who is co-listing the houses with Maureen Geary at Corcoran. She added that there is very little inventory of new homes in the Village of Sag Harbor offering quality construction under $2 million.
Two lots have been sold and one is in contract. Meanwhile, construction on lots 2 and 6 started last November/December and is expected to be complete by spring or early summer. Land was also cleared late last fall for lot 1, the last of the bunch. The designated home for that property is in the final stages of design, according to Mr. Reiner. While the five other lots are 0.46 acre each, lot 1 is the largest at 0.89 acre, said Ms. Morell, adding that a larger home with a price tag of more than $2 million will also built there, replacing an old farmhouse that was torn down.
The entire subdivision is expected to be complete in about a year.
