Welcome to the Holiday/New Year issue of North Fork Real Estate Showcase. As we prepare to celebrate the upcoming holiday season, let’s all be grateful for being fortunate enough to live in and enjoy a place of such great natural beauty as the North Fork – we are truly blessed.

Featured on this month’s front cover,Thomas McCloskey of Douglas Elliman Real Estate presents a contemporary beach house designed for outdoor living in South Jamesport. This outstanding home features 165 feet of frontage on Peconic Bay with sugar sand beach and endless views. This could be the holiday gift that keeps on giving – don’t miss this great waterfront value on the North Fork!

We always like to wrap up the year with a Marketwatch report on how the North Fork real estate market performed over the past year. 2017 saw a very strong market, with inventories continuing to shrink and prices rising. There were even some bidding wars. We saw increased new construction activity and waterfront properties remained in high demand. Southold and Greenport village were amongst the most popular areas for buyers, but activity was robust throughout the North Fork. Most brokers are predicting a continuation of these market trends into 2018. As always, we will keep you posted.

Also in this issue, be sure to check out Rachel Bosworth’s “Sound Bytes,” for the latest on what’s happening this holiday season around the North Fork; Sam Wilson’s “Turkish Delight,” featuring the Olive Branch Café and Restaurant, the Turkish newcomer on Front Street in Greenport; and Dawn Watson’s “Kingsand and Cawsand, United Kingdom,” a great getaway for those of you thinking of traveling abroad in the coming months.

North Fork Real Estate Showcase wishes all of you a joyous holiday and a very Happy New Year. A special thank you to all of our advertisers and to you, our loyal readers.

KINGSAND AND CAWSAND, UNITED KINGDOM SEAFARING, SCENIC AND STILL VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHED, CORNWALL’S TWIN VILLAGES ARE WORTH THE TREK

BY DAWN WATSON

Q

uaint, charming and oh so traditional, the United Kingdom’s Kingsand and Cawsand are the stuff that dreams are made of.

Mainly untouched by modern advancements, the eye-catching seaside villages in southeast Cornwall are as highly regarded today for their historic character as they are for their natural beauty. Off-the-beaten path yet popular with tourists and adventurers, the pair of picturesque places—which boast dramatic cliffs, densely wooded hillscapes and tranquil beaches—are an approximate five-hour drive from London.

Visually stunning, the Rame peninsula-based destinations need no more than the light and the landscape to capture the attention of travelers, though there is certainly much more to their story. Packed with history, and with much of the architecture in place to prove it, the tiny villages were once home to a thriving fishing industry and plenty of smuggling schemers.

Today the hotspots are now home to a tightknit artist and artisan community, as well as the expected ancillary inns, pubs, cafes, shops and galleries. And though the smugglers’ tunnels have long been sealed up, it’s still possible to hike, camp, fish, boat and dive into the clear waters of Cawsand Bay, which is tucked between the English Channel and the Celtic Sea. Twinned with Porspoder in France and oft referred to as “the Forgotten Corner,” the historical fishing villages are frequently honored 12

with England’s versions of “Best Kept Village” and “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” awards.

Adding to the charm here are narrow and windy streets, where automobiles are prohibited. But getting around is easy, and there’s quite a lot to explore in town and around.

The best-known landmark in the area is the seafront Clocktower in Kingsand, erected to commemorate the coronation of King George V in 1910 and nearly destroyed by floods in 2014. Now rehabbed and used as a community hall, the handsome stone building is protected by a reinforced seawall and houses a cross-stitch tapestry keepsake of the two villages, made by the residents to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.

Another significant draw to the area is the Coastal Path, which runs along the edge of the sea, past Penlee Point and ending at Rame Head. A fairly rugged trek by foot, the final destinations here, high atop a hill are the remains of a 14th century monk’s chapel and glorious views of Whitsand Bay.

The picturesque village of Kingsand has a few places to shop and eat.

Merely walking through the tiny villages (Cawsand is essentially a few homes, an inn and a very good artisanal bakery café, while the bigger Kingsand is host to a couple dozen places to eat, drink, lodge and shop) is enough for some, as the whitewashed and pastel hued cottages that line the streets are postcard pretty and more than enough to hold one’s attention. But there are also the beaches—The Cleave, a mix of sand and shingle, or “pebble” as we’d say here in the States; pebbly Girt Beach; sandy Cawsand Beach and several other points of interest.

History is evident all around. Close by is Mount Edgcumbe, a 16th century Tudor estate built in the mid 1500s and overlooking Plymouth Sound and the River Tamar. Other nearby historic country estates are Country Park and Anthony House, which we didn’t get the chance to visit but look quite nice.

And for those who aren’t necessarily into nature and architectural-type meandering, there’s also the nearby historic Plymouth Barbican area. It’s a quick ferry ride away and home to the National Marine aquarium and plenty of shops and restaurants. Can’t wait to head back and explore even more!

SOUND BYTES WINTER HAPPENINGS ON THE NORTH FORK

ADULT CHRISTMAS TREE SHOPPING Farm life is actually pretty fun on the North Fork. While we cherish the joyous family experience of picking out the family Christmas tree, sometimes a little something for the grownups too is just as appreciated. Mattituck’s Shamrock Christmas Tree Farm is offering just that by teaming up with local wineries to offer tastings and glasses in the winter wonderland they have created. Sip wines from Pellegrini Vineyards and Saltbird Cellars on weekends now until the trees are gone.You can also cozy up by the outdoor fire pits, listen to music and carols, nosh on snacks and treats, and of course, find the prefect Christmas tree.

Ring in the New Year at The Frisky Oyster.

NEW YEAR’S EVE IN GREENPORT Year after year you can watch the ball drop in Times Square on television, or for the brave, in person amidst the large city crowds, but that same old routine heading into the New Year doesn’t give us quite the thrill it may once have.

You don’t have to travel far to experience a swanky New Year’s Eve. The Frisky Oyster in Greenport steals the show with its elegantly decorated, intimate interior spiced up with hundreds of metallic balloons that cover the restaurant’s entire ceiling.

Whatever you order, it’ll be the perfect remedy to a night of celebration and a North Fork start to 2018.

MARTHA CLARA WINE 101 You’ve survived the holidays, now take some time to do something just for yourself. The off-season is an ideal time to learn about one of the area’s biggest attractions – the Long Island wine region. Learn about the terroir, seasonal harvest, and vintages in an inviting setting that isn’t overcrowded by fellow tasters at Martha Clara in Riverhead on Sunday, January 14.

The vineyard will host their Wine 101 class in which recipients will be part of a conversation discussing the basics of winemaking, wine tasting, the region, and the vineyard’s own history. Though the vines are bare, this class is a beautiful complement to what draws you out.

ROYALTON FARMS EXCLUSIVE EQUESTRIAN COMMUNITY AND $32M GRAND ESTATE PROPERTY

I

t only took one phone call between Daniel Ferrara and business associate Richard Behmoiram in the summer of 2013 to start the ball rolling on what would become Royalton Farms. Dan and his wife Danielle had found a delightful and bucolic forty-acre property in Mattituck and knew it had promise; but the question of what kind of promise had yet to be answered. The pivotal phone call began with “I know you like horses…” and out of that call the concept of Royalton Farms was born. Together, the Ferraras and the Behmoirams set out on a mission to create an equestrian facility like no other. A place where horse and rider would be “treated like royalty.”

At Royalton Farms in Mattituck, New York the team created an equestrian community unlike any other on the East End of Long Island.

Complete with world-class amenities, trainers of the highest caliber, and show quality rings all center around The Estate, a breathtaking 16,000 sq.ft. manor house on a very private 12-acres with 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, elegant bar and lounge, chef ’s kitchen, tennis court, sauna, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

For those who wish to fully immerse in the luxury equestrian lifestyle there are the Estates

at Royalton. With the utmost in exclusively, the Estates are 11 custom homes designed by noted Westhampton Beach architect Nick Vero. The Estates range from 3,500 to 5,500-sq.ft., each with a pool and 2 stall barn with paddock or pool house. Ownership of an Estate at Royalton affords residents access to the entire Royalton Equestrian Facility. Located within Royalton Farms these homes offer a once in a lifetime opportunity for those who live and breathe their passions.

Trails and bridle paths surround the private, gated equestrian community and lead to a pond and the equestrian facilities. In their quest to build the finest possible equestrian center, Royalton Farms, no expense was spared in furnishing amenities to suit the needs of any rider. With top-flight arenas, trainers, and boarding options; the discerning aficionado need look no further.

Ride no matter the season or weather in Royalton’s groundbreaking 34,000-sq.ft. indoor arena. The largest privately owned indoor arena on Long Island, and a cornerstone of Royalton’s commitment to creating the perfect equestrian center. In addition, Royalton has 20 meticulously maintained grass turnouts, where your horse can walk and graze in peace, a covered horse walker, grass derby field, and two rings with German Geo Textile footing.

DINING

TURKISH DELIGHT THE OLIVE BRANCH CAFÉ OPENS IN GREENPORT

BY SAM WILSON

Chef Yusuf Alptekin

T

he Turkish port city of Izmir, on the Aegean coast, isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of Greenport. But you might think otherwise if you were Yusuf Alptekin, a Turkish chef who was born and raised in Izmir. One day, not long ago, he travelled from New York City, where he was then living, to the North Fork for a cycling tour.

When he clapped eyes on Greenport and spotted the boats on the bay, he felt as though he’d come home. And then a funny thing happened. He and a friend walked by a courtyard that looked like the kind of enclosure you see in towns throughout the Mediterranean. In this courtyard were three parcels that had been vacant since Hurricane Sandy. Alptekin’s friend, as it happened, knew the property’s owner. One thing led to another and before you knew it, the chef had rented all three spaces and with his wife, Michelle, he opened The Olive Branch Café and Restaurant. As the name suggests, the Alptekins’ nascent little empire consists of two separate venues, each within shouting distance of the other. One is a restaurant with a proper dining room and a comprehensive menu and the other is a café that sells food to go. So now Alptekin and his wife Michelle have a new home and Greenporters have divine food from Izmir, which features Greek, Roman, and Ottoman-inflected vegetable dishes and seafood.

Both the restaurant and café are open year-round, seven days a week.

It’s a marvelous little spot with tables in the courtyard which has views over the harbor.

In the warmer months, people sit outside and watch the boats and eat spit-roasted lamb and dream of Turkey. A hairdresser works in one of the neighboring shops on the square, and every day at noon, the chef can be seen crossing the courtyard with a plate of food.The hairdresser has a standing order for lunch and Alptekin likes to 20

serve it to her personally, which seems like a very Turkish thing to do. Alptekin has been cooking professionally since he was a boy. He says he was “a little bad kid.” In the summer of his tenth year, to teach him some discipline, his father sent him to work in the kitchen of an uncle’s restaurant.

He spent that first summer washing dishes and mopping floors. When he turned thirteen, his uncle hired a dishwasher and promoted his nephew to prep cook. To everyone’s surprise, Alptekin found he enjoyed the work and what’s more, he was good at it.

After travelling and cooking in restaurants throughout the Mediterranean, he pitched up in New York City, where in recent years he has made a name for himself as a restaurant consultant, training chefs in Turkish cookery.

He’s been around long enough to know that ingredients matter, and so he imports extravirgin olive oil (“I pay unbelievable money for this oil,” he says,) labne, or thick strained yogurt, red pepper paste, rosewater preserves, and other staples from Turkey. He’s even hired a pastry chef from Istanbul. This man makes phyllo dough by hand – who does that anymore? – and turns out marvelous baklava fresh every day. Although Alptekin is schooled in classical cuisine, he likes to improvise. Thus he’ll toss sundried tomatoes in a shepherd’s salad, which traditionally consists of little more than flat-leaf parsley, spring onions, olive oil, ripe tomatoes, and barley rusks. “I’m a chef,” he explains. “Not some shepherd sitting on a hilltop six hundred years ago.” And instead of baking his spinach pie, he cooks it by the slice in a very hot grill pan until the cheese melts and the phyllo is crispy. And then there’s his chilled Anatolian yogurt soup, thickened with bulgur and seasoned with dried mint. If you close your eyes when you eat it, you could almost be in Izmir.

IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR 2017 MARKED BY LOW INVENTORY AND RISING PRICES

I

t was a very strong year for the North Fork real estate market in 2017. As inventory shrank and prices rose, there were multiple instances of bidding wars. The mid-market segment $500K-$800K was the most active with Southold and Greenport Village the most popular areas. New construction is on the rise and waterfront is always in demand. It’s a seller’s market right now on the North Fork, but if inventory increases, predictions are for a very busy and more balanced market in 2018.

Judi Desiderio of Town & Country Real Estate says, “2017 will go down as one of the North Fork’s biggest years yet! Town & Country’s third

quarter home sales report showed the number of home sales was up 15.3%, the total home sale volume rose 23%, and the median home sale price increased 22.34% over this time last year. The $1M-$2M price range rose the most at +140%, but the $500K-$1M price range logged 55 home sales, a 67% increase year over year.

Southold and its surrounding areas performed the best. Inventory on the North Fork is very, very, very low, while prices are on the rise.” Judi observes, “As the North Fork enjoys its new mojo, the vibe and audience are all moving in all the right directions.”

BY RUTH THOMAS

Harris Stevens say, “The North Fork real estate market was robust in 2017. Listing inventory shrank and prices continued to rise, which led to multiple instances of bidding wars. Currently, the mid-market segment, $500K-$800K is the most active. Southold continues to account for the large majority of sales. There is a steady flow of new construction and several new developments are popping up from Mattituck to Cutchogue.”

Jesse and Gigi remark, “There are no signs that sales on the North Fork will slow in 2018. That being said, a continued tight supply of inventory could hold back the market, but continue to drive up prices.”

JoAnn Wind of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty says, “Sales were up in 2017 but inventory is still low. We saw a very competitive market. More all cash buyers and many more properties with multiple offers and houses selling over asking price. Greenport Village continues to be very active. Orient is another popular location. Prices are steady and still on a slight uptick, mostly due to low inventory and the discovery of the North Fork’s vineyards, farms, beaches and farm-to-table restaurants. New construction is on the rise.”

JoAnn thinks, “The North Fork has become a vacation and wedding destination. This will continue to keep the real estate market active and trending towards higher prices. If inventory increases, we should have a very busy 2018.”

unusually low while builders are active.” Jill expects, “Next year will continue to be a seller’s market, which will pose the biggest challenge for buyers. Buyers need to be qualified and ready to make a strong offer. As for sellers, there seems to be no ‘season’ at this moment; serious buyers are looking throughout the winter.”

- Judi Desiderio, Town & Country Real Estate

Thomas McCloskey of Douglas Elliman Real Estate says, “This has been a very good year for the North Fork real estate market. Properties are moving on and off the market quickly. This is a result of low inventory, increased buyer demand, and the increasing popularity of the North Fork. Waterfront is hot and in demand as is Greenport. Inventory is currently very low and will continue to diminish going into the holidays. Prices are strong and that trend will continue until inventory increases significantly.

New construction is in demand as buyers would rather build than renovate.” Tom notes, “We are in a seller’s market right now, I expect an increase in inventory next year that will lead to a more balanced market.”

Jill Dunbar of Douglas Elliman Real Estate says, “The 2017 market has been brisk and competitive. It was not unusual for there to be multiple offers. Prices on the North Fork are approximately 6.7% higher than last year, and should continue to rise. Greenport remains sizzling. Waterfront and water community properties are strong. Houses in the modest price range are selling swiftly. Inventory is

Sheri Winter Clarry of The Corcoran Group says, “There has been a ton of activity in every segment of the market! Especially the new condo development in Cutchogue I’m representing.

Sales have been swift especially when something comes on the market that is unique and priced properly. There is a lack of inventory out there, so now is a good time to sell. Prices have been holding steady. Lots of good new construction

“2017 will go down as one of the North Fork’s biggest years yet!”

projects are happening and are in the works for 2018!” Sheri predicts, “If 2018 is anything like the last couple of years, it will be another good solid year. The North Fork is really coming into its own. With our restaurants and hip vibe, it’s a great location to spend time and to invest!”

Marie Beninati of Beninati Associates says, “This year has been a very strong year for home sales. As always, waterfront homes or homes near the beach are in high demand. Also homes that were updated and move-in condition, were quickly sold and often had multiple offers.

Inventory is the lowest level in the past 20 years, while prices are heading up.” Marie believes, “2018 is a big question mark because the tax bill going through Congress has many provisions that attack the tax deductions homeowners rely on, especially the second-home owner.

We have barely recovered from the real estate market crash of 2008. The legislation proposed, suggests members of Congress have very short memories and don’t understand the importance of a stable residential real estate market.”

As 2018 fast approaches, the North Fork has become a vacation destination with its festive vineyards, bucolic farms, and charming villages.

With demand high, inventory low, and prices rising, 2017 was one of the biggest years yet for real estate on the North Fork. If inventory increases next year, expectations are for another solid year for real estate on the North Fork in 2018!
