2 Cottage Walk, Gilgo Beach, NY 11702

Rare opportunity to build your dream beach house just one hour from NYC on this 60x167-foot lot, complete with approved plans and permits for a stunning three-story, four-bedroom, four-bathroom coastal home designed to capture breathtaking views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Great South Bay! Nestled in the exclusive oceanfront community of Gilgo Beach on Long Island’s South Shore, this serene sanctuary offers a rare blend of privacy and natural beauty, with only 55 homes creating an intimate, sought-after retreat. Not only is this property just a short walk to the ocean, but it is also the only property in the community with a private bay beach in your backyard—perfect for swimming, sunbathing, clamming, fishing, birdwatching, kayaking, and boating. Picture yourself starting the day with a fresh cup of coffee on your back deck, overlooking the breathtaking Great South Bay, with not a cloud in the sky. In the distance, boats glide effortlessly through the marsh, making their way toward the inlet for a day of fishing. Just a minute’s walk away, the ocean awaits. Will you take a leisurely stroll along the shore, collecting beach glass, or grab your board for a morning surf session at one of New York’s premier breaks—just steps from your back door? The afternoon is yours to enjoy—sink your toes into the warm sand with a good book and cold drink and, if you're lucky, spot a humpback whale or a pod of dolphins gliding through the waves. Try your hand at surfcasting for striped bass if the season is right, or set off from your backyard in a kayak, paddling through serene waterways as herons and ospreys soar overhead. Gather fresh clams along the way, embracing the true essence of coastal living. If adventure calls, bike the breathtaking 20-mile Ocean Parkway Coastal Greenway just outside your door, or simply stretch out and bask in the sun with the sound of the waves as your soundtrack. Here, every moment feels like a dream. As the sun sets in a stunning display of pink and gold, with the NYC skyline shimmering in the distance, stroll on over to the Gilgo Beach Inn, where live music, delicious food, and a lively yet laid-back atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening. And if you're lucky, your favorite band might be playing at the iconic Jones Beach Amphitheater—just a short drive away—offering the ultimate finale to a perfect day. This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build your dream home in one of Long Island’s most exclusive oceanfront communities.
