About this property
Peaceful and Private Shelter Island Getaway
Enjoy a charming 3 bedroom/2 bath with central AC on an expansive shy acre corner plot located directly across from Sylvester Manor Farm. The land across the street is a preserve and the adjacent lot is undeveloped which allows for plenty of relaxation and privacy. An 800 sqft (open plan) great room with two balconies and large windows is perfect for entertaining or lounging with a good book. The rear balcony descends to a gravel patio area with a fire pit, dining area and charcoal BBQ grill. Owners are very reasonable, responsive, and pet friendly!
About the Area: Shelter Island is unique to Long Island's east end because it's only accessible by ferry. Upon arriving in S.I., you truly feel like you are in a different world with vacation mode fully setting in. You may be happy to hear that the island has been dubbed the "un Hamptons" by some because of its low key, relaxed and quiet atmosphere. Shelter Island is home to the 2,100 acre Mashomack Preserve which contains about 10 miles of coastline and represents 1/3 of the island. There you find breathtaking views of fields, creeks, and shoreline. If you are in the mood for an adventure, hop on the north ferry towards Greenport or the south ferry towards Sag Harbor and The Hamptons.

-Charcoal BBQ grill
-Hammock
-12 cup coffee machine
-New washer/dryer

The home is owned by myself and my brother. We have put some hard work and thought into making it a great place to hang out for family, friends and renters. We enjoy sharing what Shelter Island has to offer.
