The Beach Barn

The Beach Barn: New York

Among The Hamptons' most famous offerings are golf resorts, beautiful beaches, and luxurious homes. But how would you like a taste of all three? This house is just a twenty-minute stroll from East Hampton’s Main Street, a six-minute drive from the nearest golf spot, and the same distance to Two Mile Hollow Beach. And as for being luxurious, let’s get into the details.

Arriving at this majestic house conjures up all sorts of scenery in your head. It feels like a secluded oasis away from the vibrant town. It also has the air of a country home, with an almost barn-like structure that wouldn’t look out of place in a rural setting. But its wooden slatted exterior is also reminiscent of a beach hut, especially when you throw the poolside umbrellas and sun loungers into the mix.

After dipping your toes in the pool, step into the elegant interiors. We were immediately drawn to the living space – architecturally, it’s already intriguing. With an apex ceiling, chunky beams, and exposed stonework, these rustic features work perfectly with the modern decor. Hardwood floors lead you around the entire home, except the bathrooms, which have their own luxury. Choose from one of three tubs where you can soak the night away with a glass of fizz in hand.
