$10.75M Montauk home has tackle room, wine cellar, Fort Pond Bay views
A Montauk home with a fishing tackle room and wine cellar is on the market for $10.75 million.
The home has five bedrooms, 7½ bathrooms, a gym and bay views. Annual taxes on the property, which falls within the Montauk Public School district, total $29,478.
"It’s just breathtaking," said Douglas Elliman agent Kate Plachy of the views of Fort Pond Bay, visible from the kitchen. "It’s just so calming and beautiful."
Built in 2008 on a 1.66-acre lot, the light gray-shingled house has two levels and the basement wine cellar. The house is warmed by propane, forced air and radiant heat, and cooled by central air conditioning.
Beyond a staircase and through a red-brick passageway, a cast-iron gate leads to a dine-in wine cellar.
"It totally transports you to a different world," said Plachy, who has co-listed the property with Katherine Casey and Miles Bouckoms. "It’s such a moment, to experience walking in there and just having a glass of wine at that table."
Stone and wooden details promote a neutral color scheme and a nautical quality. In the tackle room, wood-paneled walls wear racks for fishing poles; a mural depicts fluffy clouds, flying seagulls and frothy waters.
"When you’re in the house, you can just feel that a family lived there and loved this home, and that they built it to bring people in and make people feel at home in their home, and enjoy themselves," Plachy said.
