A farmhouse-style home on a private two-plus-acre parcel in Southampton offers a separate 1,500-square-foot barn, original to the property, that has been transformed into a versatile studio.

Listed with Pat Garrity of The Corcoran Group, the house at 645 North Sea Mecox Road is asking $5.895 million.

The 3,327-square-foot home sits amid beautifully landscaped grounds and enveloped on three sides by a 38-acre reserve, according to the listing description. The 2.27-acre offers a “perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and rustic charm.”

The spacious chef’s kitchen is equipped with premium stainless steel Viking, Asko and Sub-Zero appliances,  two farmhouse sinks, marble countertops and abundant cabinets. There is an eight-person breakfast nook and a center island with extra seating.
