This gorgeous, secluded Nantucket-style shingle home is primed for entertaining – it's the perfect retreat for a family or a group of friends. Splash around in the heated pool or enjoy a glass of wine in the sunken hot tub. We felt very zen on the vast mahogany deck, gazing out over the ocean. There's a hammock, too – the perfect spot for lazing in the sun. There are not one but two fire pits – one on the deck and a wood fire pit on the lawn – gather around as the light fades and create beautiful memories with your loved ones. Inside, there are breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic Ocean from every room, and the living space is stunning with its cathedral ceilings and wall of windows. Whitewashed walls show this home's artwork off beautifully – speaking of works of art – there's a studio in the basement for any budding Rothkos (there's a movie theatre here too). Prepare a seafood feast in the lovely chef's kitchen, then set the mood for dinner with the surround-sound Sonos system. When you feel like exploring the area, the Hither Hills State Park is around a three-minute drive or twenty-minute walk. Or downtown Montauk, with its stylish restaurants and boutiques, is six minutes by car.
