About This Home
Welcome to Shelter Island — a place where time slows down and nature takes center stage. Accessible only by ferry, this rare island community offers a level of peace, privacy, and authenticity that is nearly impossible to find in today’s world. Set on over 2 acres of beautifully engineered rolling landscape, this property has been thoughtfully designed to enhance natural beauty while addressing elevation and drainage for long-term peace of mind. Bordering the historic Sylvester Manor, the property enjoys direct proximity to preserved land, scenic walking trails, and a setting rich in history and natural beauty—ensuring both privacy and a protected backdrop that will remain timeless. Surrounded by open skies, coastal breezes, and abundant wildlife, this is a setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end under starlit skies. Enjoy biking along quiet roads, swimming in nearby freshwater lakes, boating, fishing, or simply relaxing with a book as the day slips away. Unlike the increasingly crowded Hamptons, Shelter Island preserves the essence of what made the East End special—unspoiled, understated, and deeply connected to nature. With limited inventory and growing demand, opportunities like this are increasingly rare. Whether as a private retreat, legacy property, or long-term investment, this offering represents more than real estate—it’s a lifestyle
