A Serene Hamptons Retreat Founded On Architectural Heritage

Bordering an undeveloped 130-acre nature reserve, a stunning retreat in the “Promised Land” of Amagansett combines modern sensibility with the quiet refinement of East End architecture. This $4.295 million property, created by Stelle Lomont Rouhani Architects, reimagines vintage Long Island building vernacular with a refined rethinking of space, light, and relationship to nature.

On Cranberry Hole Road, the house’s three-bedroom, two-loft, and two-and-a-half-bath floor plan greets the surrounding landscape. The open floor plan’s living, dining, and kitchen areas are positioned to take in the panoramic southern reserve views, while Napeague Bay views are uncovered from the second floor. A heated 10′ x 34′ gunite pool and an outside private shower invite relaxation within the natural beauty of the Hamptons outdoors.

“The house is a simple reconstruction and adaptation of the buildings as they stand within the vocabulary of the building tradition in Eastern Long Island,” said Fred Stelle, a principal at Stelle Lomont Rouhani Architects. “That vocabulary is architectural and volumetric—grounded in the economy of means that defined early building here.”

Mirroring the neighborhood’s historic appearance, the house’s gabled rooflines, natural materiality, and plain detailing honor the past yet welcome contemporary convenience. Expansive decking and screened porches seamlessly transition between inside and out, enclosing residents in dynamic meadow vistas.

Conveniently located just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, Napeague Bay, and the Walking Dunes, this home is quintessential Hamptons luxury with a deep respect for its architectural heritage—a gem in an increasingly modernized marketplace.
