Oceanfront Contemporary 5 Bedroom Home on Meadow Lane, Southampton

Some homes just have the kind of presence where you walk up the driveway and something settles in your chest. This oceanfront five bedroom villa on Meadow Lane in Southampton does that to you. Honestly, the air just smells cleaner out here close to Shinnecock Bay with the ocean never out of sight or earshot. Maybe it is the way the gravel crunches a little underfoot as you cross the five acre plot with tall hedges all around. I remember pausing on the front walk and just taking a slow breath. There is space here you feel it right away even before you get to the front door.

The first thing you notice is the play between sharp architecture and the natural beauty around it. There are blue tinted glass walls that catch different colors every hour and these modern shapes that blend into the soft shapes of the dunes and sky. Sometimes you walk up in the early afternoon and the house almost glows. As you come in there is a tennis court set out front which always makes me think of summer friends laughing and the little thrill of a good shot. You can imagine kids biking around or gathering for a quick game before heading down to the water.

Inside feels both grand and warm at the same time. The interior has this clean white canvas but always with just enough wood or stone under your feet so you never feel cold. There are huge sliding doors around the living area. I tried leaning against the glass and you can watch the waves roll in or just the birds chasing each other across the bay. It gets bright in here in the best way and when you open everything up you get that sea breeze that makes you almost forget your phone. There is an easy kind of flow from living spaces out onto a wide terrace that wraps around. You start to picture lazy breakfasts or late afternoon lemonade out here.

And speaking of breakfast, the kitchen is just a nice place to be. Sometimes luxury kitchens look great but do not really welcome actual cooking but this one is practical with lots of wooden cabinets you actually want to touch. There are proper appliances for real meals and you get a breakfast nook that actually feels like a spot where mornings would begin rather than just another piece of staging. There is a convenient passage out to another terrace which gets the sun just right for morning coffee. I also noticed how the layout does not rush you at all no running back and forth just natural spaces to wander or gather.

Upstairs and down you find big bedrooms that still feel inviting rather than overwhelming. The en suite bathrooms fall in that sweet spot between fancy and easygoing and everywhere you find these little touches in the colors or textures that make a space work. What really stands out is how you can wake up in the morning and step right onto a sunlit terrace. There is a perfect spot for a few lounge chairs and if you like sunsets well have a seat and wait. Honestly every room feels like somewhere you could actually live not just pose for pictures and the ocean is always just there when you glance out.

The pool is a whole story by itself tucked beneath a skylight so you can float or swim any time of day rain or shine. It keeps a nice temperature so it feels comfortable even when the weather outside is playing tricks. There is a spiral staircase that takes you down to a patio next to the pool. I could see friends gathered there for a barbecue or just watching the world slow down. From that patio is a wooden path that cuts straight through the dunes to your own stretch of beach. At sunset the sand seems to hold onto the warmth and you realize how private this slice of the Hamptons really is.

This is the sort of villa you can imagine as both a primary home or the summer base you end up loving more than you thought possible. Meadow Lane really is as exclusive as you have heard but it never feels forced here. The only way to know if it feels right is to come see it. If you are curious or want to walk around and just take it all in reach out any time. At LuxuryProperty dot com we want your next place to feel like a home from the very first hello.
