SHELTER ISLAND SOUTH-FACING WATERFRONT ACREAGE

This coveted waterfront acreage, 5.6 acres of meadows on Dickerson Inlet and Peconic Bay, currently a part of the historic estate "Kemah" located directly across the road is now offered for sale. With elevated, cleared vistas toward the the hills of Bridgehampton over a sandy beach peninsula on the western tip of Wades Beach, there is 596 +/- feet of shoreline. Many years ago, the property was critical to the Native Americans of the East End of Long Island, who came by canoe across the bay for fresh drinking water on Fresh Pond, using this acreage as an access point. The meadows, cut most summers, border Dickerson Creek inlet. "In my early childhood, I had the extreme pleasure of knowing the Last Queen of the Montauks," Amy Tuthill Wallace wrote in 1924. "I often walked with her in the shade paths between our home and Fresh Pond, and it was she who took me in thought to the days of her people, and taught me the beauties of nature as the [American] Indian knew it." This property has had only two owners in the last 272 years. Come and experience the natural vistas and beauty that capture the spirit of the East End of Long Island and Shelter Island-and build your home of a lifetime here.
