156 Deforest Road Montauk, NY 11954

Perched on 4.2 oceanfront acres high on a bluff with a private staircase to over 1000 feet of frontage on one of the best surf breaks in Montauk, Cottage Point, built by the iconic Francis Fleetwood in the legendary style of McKim, Mead, and White, is surrounded by reserve for unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and the majestic bluffs of Montauk from every room. Cottage Point is an unrivaled oceanfront location occupying a peninsula buffered by reserve to the east and west, making the panoramic ocean views a breathtaking combination of pristine nature reserve and the sea. A broad, covered porch offers idyllic sunrise and sunset views over the ocean and leads to the stunning negative edge, salt water pool, custom designed by Loebs and Gordon. As part of the Montauk Association, the grounds were originally laid out by the notable Frederick Law Olmstead, famed designer of both Central Park and Prospect Park. Stanford White designed the homes of the Montauk Association in the 1880s and Cottage Point pays homage to this heritage with reclaimed floor boards from the 1800s, full of character, and beautiful 100 year old mantles on its three fireplaces. Featured on the cover of Architectural Digest with interiors by designer Alexa Hampton, the generous layout features a living room and dining room on the ocean side with walls of windows and French doors to the covered porch. A gourmet eat-in kitchen with timeless soapstone countertops, library, and powder bath complete the main level. A bright and voluminous landing upstairs leads to four en suite bedrooms including the primary suite with fireplace and balcony. The finished lower level offers a bar area, complete with working telephone booth, two additional bedrooms and a full bath. A generational opportunity to own the pure magic of Cottage Point in Montauk.
