This newly-built, custom home in north-of-the-highway Water Mill stands 5,900 square feet on a full acre of land—making it the largest house that we’re featuring, but the one furthest from the ocean. There are six bedrooms and eight bathrooms inside, as well as an open floorplan, a fireplace in the living room, and a butler’s pantry off the kitchen.

Outside, one will find a gunite pool and spa, a pool house with a bathroom and wet bar, and views of the nearby 47-acre nature reserve.

857 Ocean Road: $4.395M

The smallest house on our list is 2,000 square feet in size—but it’s also on nearly a full acre of land, and it’s the closest one to the ocean. In fact, it’s just one mile—or a 20-minute walk—from Ocean Road Beach.

There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms inside, a three-car garage, decking and a gunite pool, and room for expansion.
