A Court of Forest Green

A Court of Forest Green: New York

Complete with a private tennis, volleyball, and basketball court, this Sag Harbor house might not need much more in terms of entertainment, and yet you'll also find a swimming pool, outdoor bar, fitness and games room available here. Made for outdoor summers, little ones can enjoy unravelling the mysteries of the lush garden whilst the grown-ups sip cocktails poolside. Though it's set over two brightly-lit floors, there are ground-floor bedrooms for those who find stairs daunting, and the king beds can also be split into singles, giving you flexibility when it comes to sleeping arrangements. When you're eager for a bite to eat or to browse the mom-and-pop chops, head into the village for plenty of small-town charm.
