About this home

Known as The Old King Farmhouse and Owl Hollow, this historic 1.05+/- acre compound is one of Peconic's most distinctive properties, pairing a beautifully preserved c.1860 Italianate Victorian residence with a remarkably purpose-built artist's studio in the heart of the North Fork. Rich in history and thoughtfully stewarded over time, the approximately 3,260-square-foot residence offers four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths while preserving many of its original architectural details, including period fireplaces, wide-plank wood floors, oversized windows, and graciously proportioned rooms filled with natural light. The interiors strike a rare balance between historic character and understated elegance, allowing the home's craftsmanship and surrounding landscape to take center stage. Across the grounds, Owl Hollow serves as an extraordinary extension of the property. The approximately 1,200-square-foot studio is defined by soaring timber trusses, dramatic north-facing windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and its own Certificate of Occupancy, offering exceptional flexibility as an artist's studio, creative workspace, guest retreat, entertaining pavilion, or wellness space. Set among mature specimen trees, clipped hedges, perennial gardens, and a fenced vegetable garden, the grounds unfold as a series of outdoor rooms centered around a heated 18' x 36' saltwater pool. A rare pre-existing, non-conforming wattle-and-daub stable offers additional storage or future possibilities, while separate driveways, updated utilities, new septic systems, rental permits, and separate Certificates of Occupancy further enhance the property's versatility. Both the residence and studio have an established history as luxury rentals. Located in the bucolic hamlet of Peconic, moments from renowned vineyards, farm stands, beaches, and marinas, The Old King Farmhouse and Owl Hollow represent an increasingly rare opportunity to own a historic North Fork compound where architecture, landscape, and creative living exist in perfect harmony.
