Herring Creek Farm

New Construction

Set on a sprawling nine-acre lot within the idyllic landscape of Herring Creek Farm, this gambrel-roofed home epitomizes refined living in a private enclave. Surrounded by waterfront and pastoral land, the property is part of an exclusive community with only a handful of residences. Inspired by the shingle-style Gilded Age coastal "cottages" of the Northeast, the design of this home reflects a bygone era, imagined as a historical narrative of resurrection after the devastating hurricane of 1938.

The H-shaped plan of the residence cleverly conceals its size, creating the illusion of a smaller footprint and fostering intimate outdoor spaces. Touches such as flowerboxes, multiple fireplaces, and porches evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, while a summer living room styled after Palm Beach speaks to the previous owners' unique aesthetic preferences. This home seamlessly blends historical charm with modern luxury, offering a sanctuary where family gatherings and cherished memories are made against the backdrop of a timeless coastal landscape.
