There’s a particular kind of silence that exists only at the edge of the Long Island Sound — the kind where the only competition for your attention is the tide moving across the Connecticut shoreline in the distance and the way the late-afternoon sun turns the water into hammered copper. That silence, and that view, has a price tag. But for those who have experienced it, no amount of square footage or granite countertops in a landlocked suburb quite competes with it.

150 Landing Lane in Baiting Hollow is that rare property: a true Long Island Soundfront home that doesn’t ask you to choose between the raw beauty of waterfront living and the comforts of a fully modernized, move-in ready luxury residence. The original Victorian structure, built in 1998 on an elevated 1.58-acre lot, was purchased in October 2024 for $1,525,000 and immediately subjected to a comprehensive, spares-no-expense renovation that was completed in 2025. The result is a home that reads — from every system, surface, and sightline — as essentially brand new, while sitting on one of the most coveted positions on the North Shore of Long Island’s East End.

It is now listed at $2,149,000 through Heritage Diner Real Estate and Paola Meyer. What follows is the full story of the property, the place, and the lifestyle it represents.

Baiting Hollow: The North Fork’s Best-Kept Waterfront Secret

To understand 150 Landing Lane, you first need to understand where it sits — both geographically and culturally.

Baiting Hollow is a hamlet within the Town of Riverhead, tucked along the North Shore bluffs overlooking Long Island Sound in what Douglas Elliman’s North Fork guide describes as having “a distinctly New England feel — Connecticut lies just across Long Island Sound.” That description is apt. The bluffs here rise dramatically above the water, affording elevated vantage points that most beach-level waterfront properties simply cannot offer. From 150 Landing Lane’s second-floor wraparound balcony, you’re not looking at the Sound — you’re presiding over it.

Golfers know Baiting Hollow for its 18-hole Fox Hill Golf and Country Club, and Calverton Links in Calverton is another 18-hole golf course in the area. The region’s coastline offers breathtaking views, private beach access, and a luxurious waterfront lifestyle. Douglas Elliman The North Fork corridor surrounding Baiting Hollow has evolved dramatically over the past two decades. With over 35 licensed wineries currently operating on more than 3,000 acres, the North Fork is one of the country’s most exciting wine-producing regions. After many years of near isolation, the region has become a popular destination for families, couples, and anyone looking for a serene, relaxing getaway. Douglas Elliman

Think of it as the Hamptons’ quieter, more authentic sibling — without the traffic on Montauk Highway, without the $30 parking lots, and without the performance of being seen. The food culture here is driven by actual farm-to-table proximity: your farm stand is likely within two miles. Your winery might be five. Calverton is known for its fresh seafood, farm-to-table cuisine, and local vineyards, making it a popular destination for foodies and wine lovers alike. Townandcountryhamptons

The broader real estate context matters here. Paradise doesn’t come cheap here. Estates can cost between $800,000 and $6 million, more or less. They can come in many forms — waterfront homes, B&Bs, horse farms, and even artist’s retreats for creatives. The scarcity of these unique estates only enhances their exclusivity and preserves their value over time. Northforker

There is also a critical geographic reality that drives waterfront values on the North Shore bluffs: you cannot build more of it. The bluff line is finite. Properties with genuine Long Island Sound water frontage at an elevated position — shielded from flood risk while still offering direct beach access — are extraordinarily rare. Waterfront property is prime real estate. The North Fork’s coastline offers breathtaking views, private beach access, and a luxurious waterfront lifestyle. Many of these shoreline homes feature architectural design elements like natural textures, white oak floors and millwork cabinetry that complement indoor-outdoor furniture. Northforker

The $624,000 Renovation: What a Complete Reinvention Looks Like

The story of 150 Landing Lane in 2025 is fundamentally a story about transformation. The property was purchased in October 2024 for $1,525,000 — a figure that reflects solid waterfront land value — and has since been relaunched at $2,149,000 following a complete top-to-bottom renovation. That $624,000 delta represents one of the most methodical and comprehensive single-property reinventions you’ll find on the North Fork.

This was not a cosmetic refresh. Every major system was touched.

The Envelope: The exterior was completely re-clad with James Hardie Boothbay Blue fiber cement siding with Azek trim — a material combination that is specifically engineered to withstand salt-air coastal environments. Hardie board siding carries a 30-year warranty against rot, moisture damage, and insect damage, and it doesn’t fade, crack, or warp the way wood does in waterfront conditions. The roof was replaced with a GAF Camelot 50-year architectural shingle — not a standard 25-year architectural shingle, but the premium tier that includes a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. New gutters, soffits, and a new flat roof on the balcony complete the envelope picture. New Andersen 400 Series casement windows with bluestone sills throughout, plus Andersen A-Series patio doors and an 8-foot E-Series balcony slider — Andersen’s top-tier residential product lines.

The Mechanical Systems: In an era when oil-to-gas conversions are one of the most financially prudent upgrades a Long Island homeowner can make, this property has already done it. A new gas boiler and tankless hot water heater replace the prior oil system — eliminating oil tank liability, reducing annual heating costs, and removing one of the first questions sophisticated buyers ask when touring any North Shore home. First-floor central air conditioning was installed new, and the upstairs bedrooms feature cast iron radiators with individual thermostats per bedroom — a rare feature that provides personalized comfort control without the ductwork disruption of a full system replacement.

The Infrastructure: New Marazzi Vero porcelain wood-look tile covers the entire first level, with three-zone radiant heat beneath it — meaning your feet are warm even on a January morning with the Sound visible through every window. All walls and ceilings throughout the home were skim-coated and freshly painted — no skip-trowel textures, no builder-grade roller finish. New seven-foot interior doors throughout, new crown molding on every level, new staircase railings, and new plywood flooring in the attic for usable storage. Pre-wiring for an alarm system and an exterior camera system are already installed.

The garage — more on this separately — received a new Fimbel architectural garage door and epoxy-coated flooring.

The total picture is a home where a buyer can walk in, put their furniture down, and not face a capital expenditure for a decade. In the current market, where buyers are increasingly sophisticated about total cost of ownership, that proposition carries enormous weight.

A Chef’s Kitchen That Earns the Name

The kitchen at 150 Landing Lane is the kind of room that gets photographed in a magazine and then referenced by buyers who visited six months later. That’s not hyperbole — it’s a function of the specification choices made here, which read less like a “nice upgrade” and more like a deliberate design statement.

The layout centers on a large center island in a space that combines cream cabinetry with gold hardware — a palette that manages to feel both current and timeless, avoiding the all-white-with-chrome aesthetic that will feel dated in five years. The countertops are quartz, providing the durability and maintenance profile that professional cooks and home entertainers actually want (unlike marble, quartz doesn’t stain, etch, or require sealing).

The appliance package is where the kitchen earns its chef’s designation:

• Bosch 36-inch gas cooktop with integrated downdraft — the downdraft ventilation eliminates the need for an overhead hood, preserving sightlines and the sense of openness
• KitchenAid double wall oven — two ovens operating independently, which matters enormously when you’re cooking for ten people or running Thanksgiving without a second thought
• Bosch 800 Series dishwasher — consistently ranked among the quietest and most efficient dishwashers in Consumer Reports testing, with a 42 dBA noise rating that means it runs while you’re still at the table
• Bosch French-door refrigerator — the 800 Series refrigerator line features flexible storage with a bottom drawer freezer configuration ideal for a kitchen that sees serious use
• Sharp microwave drawer — built into the island at an ergonomic height, invisible from across the room

The kitchen connects to a formal dining room and a spacious family room, creating the open social flow that modern buyers consistently cite as their top priority. A separate laundry room/mudroom with washer, dryer, and tile flooring is adjacent — keeping the kitchen clean of laundry traffic entirely. A half-bath on the main floor with new Kohler fixtures completes the first-level picture.

For a home positioned at $2.1M on the North Fork, this kitchen spec is not just appropriate — it’s essential. Comparable waterfront properties at this price point with lesser kitchens consistently sit longer and negotiate harder.

The Soundfront Experience: 150 Feet of Private Beach, 14 Families

Here is where 150 Landing Lane makes its most extraordinary value argument, and it deserves to be explained carefully because it’s a configuration most buyers don’t fully understand until they see it.

The property is a member of Baiting Hollow Estates, a private HOA comprising just 14 homes. Those 14 households collectively own and maintain a gated, private staircase leading down to 150 feet of private Long Island Sound beach — accessible only to those 14 families. The HOA fee for this privilege is $750 per year, which also covers gate and lock maintenance and upkeep of the community circles.

To put that in context: private Sound beach access shared by 14 homes — not 200, not 50, not even 30. Fourteen. On a summer weekend, that beach will be, by definition, almost empty. You will likely recognize every face you see there.

This is the kind of beach access that typically disappears from the market within days when a property offering it comes available, because there is genuinely no substitute and no way to create more of it. The regulatory environment on Long Island’s Sound bluff shoreline is exceptionally restrictive — obtaining permits for new beach staircases involves the Army Corps of Engineers, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Town Trustees, and often years of environmental review. Property seekers must also be aware of setback requirements and potential town Trustee/state Department of Environmental Conservation approval before permits are issued for building or renovating. Northforker The beach staircase and access rights at 150 Landing Lane exist, are maintained, and convey with the property. That is not something you can buy elsewhere and add.

From an elevated position on the property’s 1.58 acres, the mahogany waterside deck and wraparound second-floor balcony offer unobstructed views across the Sound to Connecticut. The listing describes “dramatic sunsets” — which, given the westward-facing orientation of the Long Island Sound’s north shore bluffs, is not marketing language but geographical fact. These bluffs face directly into the setting sun across open water. On clear days, you watch the sun lower into the horizon over approximately 18 nautical miles of open water.

“This home was designed for someone who values comfort, technology but also nature. It’s a waterfront home at the end of the street, so you feel transported to a different place with ultimate privacy.” Northforker That quote, from a North Fork real estate professional describing a comparable Sound-facing waterfront home in the area, precisely describes the experience 150 Landing Lane is built around.

The property also has room for a pool — an addition that, at this price point and with this site configuration, would be a natural next step for a buyer who wants to complete the outdoor living picture.

The Collector’s Garage: A Rare Bonus on the North Fork

One of the most unexpected features at 150 Landing Lane is its vehicle storage capacity — a detail that, for the right buyer, transforms this property from desirable to irreplaceable.

The home offers a 2+ car attached garage at the main level with a new Fimbel architectural garage door and epoxy-coated floors. Below it, an expansive lower-level garage and storage area adds capacity for a total of up to 6 vehicles across both levels combined with driveway parking. The lower level has been specifically described as suitable for antique or collector-car enthusiasts.

This matters more than it might seem. Finding a luxury waterfront home on the North Fork with meaningful enclosed vehicle storage is genuinely uncommon. The elevation changes, site constraints, and historic development patterns of North Shore bluff properties typically result in homes that have minimal or no garage. A buyer who collects vintage automobiles, maintains a boat-related equipment inventory, or simply wants their vehicles properly stored in a salt-air coastal environment will find this feature eliminates an entire category of problem — and there is essentially no way to add equivalent garage square footage to a site like this post-construction given the regulatory environment.

Beyond vehicles, the lower level’s workshop potential adds a dimension that’s increasingly sought after by buyers in the $2M+ range who want functional infrastructure alongside aesthetic luxury. Think: woodworking shop, marine equipment storage, wine cellar buildout, home gym, or dedicated hobby space — all without sacrificing the main living area’s clean, polished presentation.

The Numbers: Understanding the $2,149,000 Ask

For anyone doing their financial due diligence on this property, here are the key data points that inform the pricing and value picture.

Price History:

• October 2024: Sold at $1,525,000 (MLS #L3566999) — reflecting Sound-front land value and structure without the 2025 renovation
• December 2025: Listed at $2,149,000 following complete renovation — a $624,000 value-add investment
• Price per square foot: $800/sqft — reflecting the premium tier for renovated waterfront product on the North Fork

Tax Assessment & Annual Costs:

• Tax assessed value: $1,272,182
• Annual property taxes: $22,424
• HOA (Baiting Hollow Estates private beach): $750/year

Comparables: There are currently 68 waterfront homes for sale in North Fork at a median listing price of $965K. Redfin 150 Landing Lane at $2,149,000 is priced at more than double the median waterfront listing in the North Fork — but it is not comparable to median North Fork waterfront inventory. The combination of Soundfront position, elevated bluff location, the scale of the 2025 renovation, 1.58 acres, and the extraordinary private beach access (14 homes, 150 feet) places this property in a distinct tier.

For further context: North Fork estates can cost between $800,000 and $6 million, more or less. Northforker At $2.149M, this property sits in the upper-middle of that range while offering physical attributes — the private beach membership, the renovation spec, the garage capacity — that compete with listings at significantly higher price points.

The renovation investment math is also worth examining. The property was purchased for $1,525,000 and relaunched at $2,149,000 — a $624,000 spread. That represents a 41% value-add above the acquisition price. Given the scope of the renovation (new roof, siding, windows, doors, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, HVAC systems, gas conversion, garage), a $624,000 all-in renovation budget for a 2,687 square foot home is not unusual — it works out to approximately $232 per square foot in renovation cost, which is consistent with high-end contractor pricing in the North Fork market. The seller has absorbed the disruption, construction management, and decision fatigue so that the buyer inherits a finished product.

For buyers interested in financing, the current 30-year fixed mortgage rate environment in the mid-6% range translates to approximately $11,500–$12,500/month on a standard 20% down purchase — or approximately $138,000–$150,000 annually. Many buyers at this price point are also evaluating part-time rental income: comparable Sound-facing North Fork properties with beach access have been documented generating $30,000–$50,000+ per season in short-term rental income when the owner is not in residence.

The North Fork Lifestyle: The Amenity That Doesn’t Appear on the Floor Plan

There’s a reason that North Fork real estate has outperformed broader Long Island metrics over the past decade, and it’s not primarily about the homes themselves. It’s about what surrounds them.

Buying 150 Landing Lane is not just buying a house on the water. It’s buying proximity to a lifestyle that has become one of the most coveted in the Northeast — and one that, unlike the Hamptons, has not yet been fully discovered by the mass market.

After many years of near isolation, the region has become a popular destination for families, couples, and anyone looking for a serene, relaxing getaway from the stress of daily life. Douglas Elliman Within a short drive of 150 Landing Lane: the Fox Hill Golf and Country Club (literally in Baiting Hollow), Calverton Links golf course, the Tanger Outlets, Splish Splash water park, the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead, and the farm stands and seafood shacks that define the North Shore’s food identity. The North Fork Wine Trail — anchored by over 35 licensed wineries operating across 3,000+ acres — is one of the East Coast’s great culinary tourism destinations, and it begins, practically speaking, at the end of Landing Lane.

The lifestyle analogy that resonates with many buyers from New York City is this: the North Fork is what the Hudson Valley promised 20 years ago before the crowds found it. It is genuinely rural in feel, genuinely agricultural in character, and genuinely close to the water in a way that most of the Hudson Valley simply isn’t. And it’s 90 minutes from Midtown — on a Sunday afternoon when you’re not in a hurry.

For remote workers, the area has become particularly attractive since 2020. The combination of high-speed internet infrastructure improvements across Suffolk County, a property that allows for a proper home office setup, and a daily commute that involves nothing more than walking to a bluff-top deck makes the remote work calculus extremely compelling.

The areas known as “the race” and “the gut” — referring to the spot where the Long Island Sound meets the Atlantic Ocean — are among the world’s most rewarding spots for striped bass fishing. Orient State Park offers swimming, boating, golf and fishing. Douglas Elliman For boaters, the Sound is one of the greatest bodies of recreational water on the East Coast: calmer than the open Atlantic, rich with fish, and studded with destinations from Port Jefferson to New Haven to Shelter Island.

There is also a well-documented historical and cultural texture to the North Fork that distinguishes it from purely recreational waterfront communities. The hamlet of Southold, just east of Baiting Hollow, was founded in 1640 — making it one of the earliest English settlements in New York. In Peconic, amid acres of farmland, well-kept historic homes are perfect for those interested in the natural beauty of the island rather than summer hotspot revelry. Douglas Elliman Orient — the easternmost tip — retains a genuinely 19th-century village character that draws architects, writers, and artists who find in it the kind of place-ness that money usually cannot purchase.

An Extraordinary Home in an Extraordinary Moment

The Long Island Sound doesn’t negotiate. It doesn’t hold open houses, offer buyer incentives, or reduce its asking price if you wait long enough. What it does is remain stubbornly beautiful across every season — spectacular in July, haunting in November, and alive with movement in every month between. 150 Landing Lane earns its position on those bluffs not just because of the 2025 renovation that touched every system and surface, but because of what that renovation has enabled: a home where you can be fully present to that view without the anxiety of deferred maintenance or outdated systems competing for your attention.

The combination of assets here is genuinely rare: True Long Island Sound frontage on an elevated 1.58-acre lot. Private beach access shared by just 14 families. A complete 2025 renovation with appliance and materials specs that would be at home in any luxury new construction. A vehicle storage solution that doesn’t exist at comparable properties. A North Fork lifestyle that stands among the finest in the Northeast — and a price point that, relative to comparable Hamptons waterfront, remains a compelling entry into that world.

Properties like this don’t wait. When something this specific — Soundfront, renovated, private beach, garage capacity, 14-home community — becomes available, it tends to find its buyer faster than the market average suggests it should.
