Behold the breathtaking views from this $18M home on the Montauk coastline

High on the southernmost bluff of Long Island, the Stone House at 408 Old Montauk Highway embodies the mythical wildness and wonder of Montauk, long referred to by locals as “The End.” This peerless private oceanfront estate, surrounded by panoramic views of Montauk Lighthouse and Block Island, occupies a front-row seat to watching the sun and moon rise over the water. Asking $18,000,000, the 3.2-acre estate’s main residence sits on a vegetative 70-foot bluff protected by a rare rock revetment on the Atlantic Ocean.

Allegedly built in 1912 as a storage house for the Montauk Point Light House, this historic cottage has been converted into a private home with a long list of notable owners. In addition to being the former home of renowned designer Tony Ingrao, who rebuilt it in the 1990s, it was frequently mentioned in Andy Warhol’s diaries.

The triple-chimneyed main house features custom copper handmade windows and stonework with hand-carved wood exterior details. On the first floor, the living room, formal dining room, and media room/den are anchored by hefty wood-burning stone fireplaces–and given the otherworldy blessing of stunning ocean views.

The eat-in kitchen features marble worktops, hand-painted millwork, and high-end appliances. Arched doorways allow unobstructed ocean views.

Up a hand-painted wood staircase, the home’s second floor hosts a primary bedroom suite with 14-foot vaulted ceilings. A bath accented with marble and stone offers a soaking tub and a separate steam shower with glass walls overlooking the ocean.

Outside this charming chamber, a private balcony overlooks the Montauk Lighthouse and Block Island. In the home’s east wing is a den, a guest bedroom, an office/gym, a bathroom, and laundry facilities.

Also on the property is a lofted artist’s studio with a bathroom and a covered porch. A separate pool house offers a bath and an outdoor shower overlooking a pond-shaped saltwater pool. This heavenly outdoor oasis is surrounded by rolling lawns and gardens with the ocean beyond.
