There are oceanfront homes, and then there are places where the very rhythm of the Atlantic becomes part of daily life. At 140 Dune Road, the sea is not a backdrop. It is a defining presence, a muse, and the quiet pulse behind a home crafted with extraordinary intention. Set on more than two acres of sculpted land with sweeping ocean views and private layered gardens, this shingle style estate stands among Quogue’s rarest coastal offerings, a sanctuary of architecture and artistry.
“Properties along this stretch of Dune Road are among the most coveted on the East End,” says Tim Davis, The Corcoran Group’s Hamptons Luxury Market Leader. “This home represents the highest level of quiet luxury combined with an extraordinary piece of land that is simply unmatched.”
From the moment the gates part, the estate reveals itself in a slow, elegant procession. A long drive curves past stone walls and mature evergreens guiding you toward a façade that feels both timeless and contemporary. Old growth cypress shingled textures shift gently with the light, rooflines sweepin confident arcs, and hand-crafted mahogany Reilly windows are placed with the precision of a painter composing a scene. The architecture nods to classic Hamptons heritage yet rises far beyond convention.
Inside, the foyer immediately establishes the home’s emotional tone. A soft wash of natural light drifts across finely rendered millwork, polished wood floors glow with warmth, and an ethereal hand painted mural of curling waves throughout the Hamptons four seasons stretches above as a reminder that the ocean is always near. This entrance does more than impress. It envelops you, quieting the mind and preparing you for the calm that permeates every room.
The principal living spaces unfold with a sense of ease. The living room, anchored by a refined hearth and coffered ceilings, captures sweeping views of sea and sky through French doors that open to terraces and manicured lawns. The adjoining media room elevates this connection even further with vaultedceilings and walls of glass that bring the horizon inside. Throughout, the palette is serene and tactile, a whisper of coastal elegance rather than a declaration.
The kitchen is a triumph of understated luxury, where sunlight plays across white cabinetry andnatural stone counters. Equally suited to casual breakfasts and chef-driven dinners, it sits at the heart of the home’s social spaces, encouraging movement, conversation, and conviviality. Its seamless connection to the dining room and outdoor terrace smakes entertaining effortless, whether hosting a summer luncheon or an intimate winter gathering beside the fire.
Outdoors, the landscape becomes a living extensionof the architecture. A shimmering pool stretches toward the dunes like a crystal ribbon, framed bygardens of hydrangea, ornamental grasses, seasonal perennials, and specimen trees that soften every edge. Hand-laid stone paths wind through the property, weaving between shaded nooks, open lawns, andunbroken ocean views. On quiet afternoons, thesound of waves drifts across the Epay wood terraces & cooled Bluestone patio, mingling with sea side breezes and the warm scent of sunlit cedar.
“This property has one of the most beautifully curated landscapes on the oceanfront,” Davis notes.“Every tree, pathway, and planting was chosen to move with the wind and the light, reflecting the natural rhythm of the coastline.”
Upstairs, the private quarters offer sanctuary in its purest form. The primary suite commands a magnificent vantage point, with French doors opening to balconies that capture sunsets in full cinematic sweep. The suite’s volumes are generous yet soothing, its palette soft, its bath refined with subtle marble details and natural light that warms every surface. Guest suites continue the theme, offering quiet ocean views, graceful detailing, and a sense of privacy that encourages long, lingering stays.
The estate grounds carry their own sense of narrative. Mature cypress, umbrella pines, and cryptomeria trees rise with sculptural confidence, framing wide lawns and intimate gardens. Perennial borders shift with the seasons, and exposed tree trunks surrounded by lush host as add sculptural character. A private footpath meanders through the property and over the dune, opening directly onto miles of pristine Atlantic shoreline. The ocean appears with dramatic immediacy, a sweep of blue that feels both grand and deeply personal.
While anchored in traditional Hamptons craftsmanship, the home also lives effortlessly in the modern world. Spaces are scaled for contemporary lifestyles, rooms flow naturally for both gathering and retreating, and the overall composition maintains an intentional balance between elegance, warmth, and functional ease.
“To me, this is not just a home,” Davis reflects. “It is the essence of Hamptons living, the rare combination of sophistication, comfort, and connection to nature that defines this community at its very best.
