An Amazing American Historical Home is for Sale on South Midway Road on Shelter Island

As we celebrate 4th of July this year, a unique 22.95 acre waterfront estate continues to be a tangible reminder of American History and local Patriots’ dream of self-reliance as an independent country. Penelope Moore has the listing located at 81-82 South Midway Road on Shelter Island.

 

The pre-Revolutionary War, wood shingled colonial which was built circa 1750 is named “Kemah”, a Shinnecock word meaning “in the face of the wind” because of its prevailing southwest breezes. With two separate waterfront lots, there are 17.35 elevated acres with 385 +/- feet on Great Fresh Pond to the north side, and over 5.6 acres of meadow with 596 +/- feet on Peconic Bay facing south.

 

The history of the property is incredible.

 

“In 1698, George Havens came to Shelter Island and bought one thousand acres from Nathanial Sylvester II whose father claimed ownership of Shelter Island. This property was part of those thousand acres,” Penelope explains. “Over the last 271 years there have only been two other families there, the Tuthills and the Robbs who are its current owners.”

 

The vast acreage of the property gives you a sense of awe as you tour through.

 

 

The Shelter Island Declaration of Independence and Obadiah Haven’s signature

 

Obadiah Havens, who signed the Shelter Island Declaration of Independence and was a member of the Provincial Government and 1st Lieutenant of the Militia during the Revolutionary War, lived at Kemah. During the British occupation of Shelter Island and the East End, Obadiah fled to Connecticut to continue his work as a Patriot from there.

 

“Kemah offers a glimpse to the distant past, with its rolling fields meeting eelgrass at the edge of saltwater, which then ripples to what was then described as ‘the hills of Bridgehampton’. Stone accents throughout the property blend in with work that was done in the 19th and 20th centuries, including a grand two story barn, a cobblestone outbuilding and a music studio,” Penelope said. “In reading the detailed descriptions of life during the Revolutionary War on the East End, and in particular on Shelter Island in historic books, when I am at Kemah, it is easy to see the very things that the Patriots held dear. There are few properties in our area that have witnessed countless historic events and entertained great people over its nearly 300 years.”

 

On July 4th, The Daughters of the American Revolution are conducting a self-guided tour in the grounds to the rear of the Shelter Island Presbyterian Church and will be discussing the contribution toward America’s Independence by Obadiah Havens and other Shelter Island Patriots.

 

Whether you are a history buff, vintage home lover, investor or preservation seeker, www.81-82SouthMidwayRoad.com is unique to the real estate market and an estate for the ages.

 

The remarkable property is listed exclusively for $14.995M

  • Did You Know That Seagulls Love Spaghetti?

I have no idea who was the first person to think of bringing a bowl of spaghetti to the beach to share with a seagull but my money’s on Jackson Pollack who happened to love spaghetti after having it for the first time at 18.

  • Sensational Food at the 1770 House

All I can say is wow. JUST WOW!

The 1770 House is the real deal. It’s some of the best fine dining that the Hamptons has to offer. Executive Chef Michael Rozzi has put together a menu that is hard to beat and the restaurant is run by long-time manager, Carol Covell. I want to get to the food because that’s the real star of the show, but the people that work here are also.  @1770house

  • Handy Lane Now a Luxury Street in Hamptons Real Estate

The entire street has transformed for the better thanks to the developers of 8 luxury properties on a relatively unknown South of the Highway cul-de-sac in Amagansett. 

Romaine Gordon of Saunders & Associates, the exclusive listing agent, has been ringing the news about this unique opportunity. “These houses are absolutely gorgeous and the cul-de-sac is a hidden gem. You are right in the heart of Amagansett, minutes to the ocean beaches and Amagansett village. Each property offers every amenity a buyer could want. To have something like this South of the Highway in Amagansett in this price range is really a special opportunity for buyers.” @hamptonsrealestate @romainehamptons

  • Sixty-Something: My Two Favorite Hamptons Movies and Book

Before there was easily accessible internet and various movie streaming networks, there was always the East Hampton Library – that beautiful historic building located on the corner of the beginning of Route 114 and intersecting Route 27. My first year as an east-end writer I actually composed all of my articles in the basement of that library. They had primitive internet access computers there.
