Boatsman Lane Estate Sells For $28 Million in Southampton

In Southampton Village, the sale of the waterfront estate at 1 Boatsman Lane recently closed for $28.13 million after seeking $35 million.

The shingle-style summer colony “cottage” offers close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean as well as direct wide frontage on Taylor Creek, according to the listing.

The property with a long, crushed-stone driveway boasts a waterside pool with offset steps and a wading area, boat dock and tennis court. The residence is two stories with six bedrooms and an open floor plan. Walls of glass overlook the pool and spectacular sunsets, the listing states.

The foyer leads to a living room with blonde hardwood floors and pale walls and a large hearth. French doors open to an outdoor living space with creek views and an established landscape. A glass-walled cabana room is off the living room, showcasing the pool and brick and bluestone patio.

The kitchen is outfitted with modern appliances and warm stone accents. A den, a mudroom, laundry, en suite guest accommodations, two additional family bedrooms, a powder room, and a full bath complete the first level.

An upstairs library floats above the den below. A designated staircase leads to a second guest suite. A master suite has built-in cabinetry, a window seat, and a private balcony. The third upstairs bedroom features its own balcony accessed through both the bedroom and bath, while the fourth bedroom offers custom storage and another private bath.

The listing agents were Tim Davis of Corcoran and Hans von Schirach of Saunders & Associates.

“A coveted location and an incredible opportunity to own and develop a west-facing waterfront property with boat dock and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean,” Davis said.

Christopher J. Burnside and Aubri Peele of Brown Harris Stevens and Harald Grant of Sotheby’s International Realty brought the buyer.

Burnside said: “1 Boatman’s Lane is a truly exceptional property — a rarely available waterfront estate of over 4 acres, with a boat dock and deep-water access to Shinnecock Bay, tennis, pool and complete privacy. My customer had been in the market to buy for some time, not finding exactly what they wanted. After looking at over 100 homes together, we found something that was not only very special, but perfectly suited for an avid outdoor adventurer and nature lover.”

Peele added that though the real estate market has tightened in the past year, there is still much demand for quality Hamptons properties.

“As always, this business is about bringing buyers and sellers together, and in a low inventory market this is certainly more challenging. But persistence — and patience — pays off, and we were thrilled to be part of the process of getting this deal done,” Peele said.
