Description

Long regarded as one of Bellport Village’s most distinguished waterfront estates, Porta Bella enjoys what many consider the Village’s finest waterfront location.

Set on two private acres atop one of the highest natural waterfront elevations on Long Island’s South Shore, the property opens to 180-degree views across Bellport Bay. Just moments from the Village marina, shops, restaurants, and cultural offerings, it offers exceptional privacy while remaining effortlessly connected to the very best of Bellport Village.

Arrival is as memorable as the property itself. A long drive beneath a magnificent canopy of mature sycamores gradually reveals the residence through beautifully established grounds that have matured over decades. The approach is gracious and timeless, entirely fitting for one of Bellport Village’s landmark waterfront properties. Lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 45 years, the landscape has evolved with the property, giving the estate a presence that simply cannot be recreated.

The rear grounds unfold as a series of beautifully composed outdoor living spaces. At their center, a sculptural heated gunite pool overlooks Bellport Bay, where broad limestone steps descend gracefully into an expansive shallow lounging area.

Renowned minimalist architect Michael Gabellini conceived a continuous architectural platform of hand-selected Bulgarian limestone that wraps the residence and extends to the pool and surrounding terraces, subtly elevating the home within its landscape.

A custom-built Bulgarian limestone buffet with an integrated grill complements the outdoor entertaining spaces. Beneath the canopy of century-old sycamores, a shaded dining terrace overlooks the expansive lawn and Bellport Bay beyond, creating one of the property’s most memorable settings for outdoor living and entertaining.

Beyond, sweeping manicured lawns extend to the water’s edge, opening to uninterrupted views across Bellport Bay and providing an extraordinary setting for larger gatherings while preserving a remarkable sense of openness.

Along the bulkheaded shoreline, a private deck offers an intimate place to experience the bay. Sailboats move across the horizon, the light shifts throughout the day, and the ever-present sound of the water sets a quiet rhythm. It is a place to linger, to watch the day unfold, and to feel entirely connected to the waterfront.

Inside, the connection to the water is immediate. Upon entering the residence, panoramic views across the bay draw your attention, introducing interiors where natural light and the waterfront remain the defining features.

The gracious living room and formal dining room each enjoy beautiful water views and are anchored by their own wood-burning fireplaces, creating welcoming spaces equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

Just beyond, a light-filled sunroom enjoys sweeping views across the bay, while a secluded limestone terrace offers a more private outdoor setting.

The custom-designed stainless steel kitchen, created by B&B Italia under its renowned Arclinea collection, shares the same connection to the water and outdoors. A dramatic wall of French doors opens completely to two separate terraces, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. Whether preparing everyday meals or entertaining guests, the kitchen flows naturally to the pool, outdoor dining areas, and waterfront beyond.

Complementing the main living spaces, a private den offers a quiet retreat, while a first-floor guest bedroom is served by a beautifully appointed full bath.

Upstairs, the primary suite overlooks the water, where waking to uninterrupted views becomes part of everyday life. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character, while the spacious en-suite bath, appointed with a Philippe Starck vanity, reflects the home’s understated elegance.

Two additional guest bedrooms complete the second floor, including one with its own wood-burning fireplace. Served by a well-appointed full bath, these inviting rooms continue the home’s light-filled character.

Beyond the main residence, a separate guest cottage offers generous living space with soaring vaulted ceilings, a kitchenette, and a full bath. Nearby, a dedicated studio provides a light-filled setting equally suited to creative pursuits, a private office, or a wellness space. Together with the detached two-car garage, these additional buildings complete the estate.

Decades have shaped this remarkable place, allowing the landscape, architecture, and life along Bellport Bay to become inseparable. The result is something that cannot simply be recreated, and an opportunity that may come only once in a lifetime.
