Experience timeless architecture and peaceful luxury in this Feng Shui inspired estate nestled within the prestigious Short Beach enclave of Nissequogue. Privately sited on 2.49 manicured acres, this unique compound offers unmatched tranquility and thoughtful design, surrounded by a protected wildli...fe sanctuary. Built in 2011 and oriented to face south, the approx. 8,500 square foot residence embraces the natural light and balance that comes from intentional planning and global craftsmanship. From the moment you arrive, the setting is both grand and serene. A recycled glass driveway leads you to the main residence, which has been carefully positioned for optimal sunlight and energy flow. Inside, you're welcomed by expansive open spaces, panoramic windows imported from Germany, and finely curated finishes. Every room is designed to connect with the outdoors while maintaining a sense of comfort, elegance, and modern ease. The floor plan flows seamlessly across two levels, offering a mix of formal and informal living spaces ideal for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. There are six spacious en-suite bedrooms, each featuring a gas fireplace, private balcony, and views of the surrounding landscape. The primary suite is a standout, offering peaceful water views, a sun-drenched retreat area, and a spa-style bathroom centered around a round soaking tub that feels more like a wellness escape. Throughout the home, natural hardwood flooring, custom millwork, radiant heat, and high-end materials create a luxurious yet grounded aesthetic. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen outfitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and a center island that connects beautifully to both the dining room and the more casual family space. Whether you're preparing an intimate meal or hosting a larger gathering, the layout supports both privacy and connection. Tucked away on the property is a beautifully designed two-bedroom guest cottage, complete with a private entrance, its own living space, and full bathroom. Perfect for extended family, live-in staff, or long-term guests, this cottage adds flexibility and comfort for multigenerational living or entertaining. The estate is also zoned for horses, making it an exceptional choice for equestrian buyers seeking a high-end North Shore location with flat usable land and room to expand. This offering is more than just a home, it’s a lifestyle opportunity. The property sits just minutes from Long Island Sound beaches, The Knox School, Stony Brook University and Hospital, and the charming village centers of St. James and Head of the Harbor. Convenient access to the Saint James LIRR station provides a direct connection to NYC, placing this serene retreat within reach of the city but worlds away from the hustle. Sustainable touches like the imported Spanish roof tiles and the eco-friendly driveway nod to the home’s global influence, while the Feng Shui-based design offers a rare sense of balance not commonly found in the luxury market. The acreage allows ample space for a pool, tennis court, gardens, or future custom amenities. Storage is plentiful, and the oversized two-car garage and circular motor court provide easy access and ample parking for guests. This property is part of a three-listing portfolio and is being offered as its own standalone estate. The adjacent two-acre vacant buildable lot is available separately or as part of a combined 4.49-acre compound, making this a rare chance to secure a legacy property in one of Long Island’s most sought-after coastal enclaves. Whether you’re seeking a forever home, a private family retreat, or a unique investment in luxury real estate, this estate delivers refined living in perfect harmony with nature. ****This Sale Does NOT Include The Additional 2 Acre Lot****
