Wrapped in cedar shingles and set among mature woodland, this house draws you in before you've even stepped inside. The living room – where a generous sectional sofa faces a working fireplace – opens directly onto a sunlit deck, making it easy to drift between cosy evenings indoors and lazy afternoons among the autumn trees. Direct beach access means the water is never far, and a private garden with a barbecue rounds things out nicely for those who'd rather stay close to home.

About Shelter Island
Reachable only by ferries, private boats, or small seaplanes, getting to Shelter Island is something of an adventure. And once you’re there, its turn-of-the-century charm, historical buildings, relaxed attitude and endless nature preserves (that make up one-third of the island) captivate city escapees and year-round residents alike.
