North Fork

Situated on the Peconic Bay, this East Marion house offers breathtaking views of the Bug Light, Orient Harbor, Orient State Park and Shelter Island.

The 1.3-acre property at 240 Briar Lane went into contract at full ask after just 13 days on the market in October, according to Thomas McCloskey, a broker with Douglas Elliman’s office in Cutchogue. The deal closed on December 21.

With inventory on the South Fork in the million-dollar range becoming harder and harder to come by, the North Fork offers an alternative. In Laurel, a small community between Jamesport and Mattituck, a postmodern house in the private community of Laurel Links is one such house on the market.

The property offers an estate-like setting with panoramic views of Haywater Cove, a creek on the North Fork’s south side, thanks to 150 feet of water frontage.

As property changed hands at a frenetic pace, demand increased, sending Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Fund revenues to record heights.

Over on the North Fork, a rare one-acre, waterfront house in Cutchogue also has sweeping vineyard views.

This newly-renovated 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom house is located down a long driveway on the northern side of the peninsula that ends at Orient Point.
