For the first time in the East End’s storied history, full-service hotel residences are making their debut at one of America’s most historically significant locations. The Canoe Place Boathouses represent a groundbreaking development situated on the site of America’s oldest inn, originally constructed in 1697, where British soldiers once found refuge during the Revolutionary War. This rare collection of fully serviced waterfront residences sits just west of the Shinnecock Canal, offering a blend of historical significance and modern luxury living in the heart of the Hamptons.
These turnkey homes eliminate the traditional burdens of second-home ownership while delivering the ultimate lock-and-leave lifestyle. Starting at $1.7 million and featuring up to 1,617 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, each residence seamlessly blends the comfort of home with the sophisticated amenities of a boutique hotel. The development offers both two- and three-bedroom configurations, all fully furnished by acclaimed designer Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, whose interiors draw inspiration from the inn’s rich colonial heritage while incorporating modern elegance and classic Hamptons charm.
Among the collection’s standout offerings, 67 Old Boathouse Lane North, currently listed for $2,198,000, is a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom residence spanning 1,917 square feet. The home showcases the signature design elements that define the Canoe Place aesthetic, including pristine white oak floors, sophisticated shiplap walls, and gleaming quartz countertops throughout. The gourmet kitchen features top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, while a cozy fireplace creates an inviting focal point in the main living area. Multiple private terraces extend the living space outdoors, perfectly positioned to capture water views and facilitate seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining that defines the Hamptons lifestyle.
The Canoe Place Boathouses deliver an impressive array of amenities as well. Residents enjoy exclusive access to a waterfront pool and hot tub, offering the perfect retreat for relaxation while overlooking the canal. The state-of-the-art fitness center ensures wellness needs are met without leaving the property, while the elegant club lounge provides a sophisticated space for socializing or conducting business. Perhaps most notably, the private floating dock opens up endless possibilities for boating, fishing, and water sports, providing direct access to explore the area’s renowned beaches, restaurants, and charming villages. The comprehensive hotel-style concierge services elevate the living experience further, offering housekeeping, pre-stocked kitchens, beach shuttles, spa appointment coordination, and tee time reservations. For investment-minded owners, a full-service rental program generates income during periods of non-residence.
The development’s location offers the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility that defines premium Hamptons living. Positioned directly across from the historic Canoe Place Inn—which was beautifully reimagined in 2022 by Brooklyn-based design studio Workstead—the Boathouses extend the legacy of this iconic property through thoughtfully designed private homes. The reimagined inn features 20 guest rooms, five cottages, an outdoor pool, and meticulously landscaped gardens, hosting numerous events throughout the year. Residents can enjoy world-class dining at Good Ground Tavern, managed by Union Square Events, along with indulgent spa services. The strategic location places residents just 90 minutes from New York City, with convenient access to world-class golf courses, the sophisticated shops and restaurants of Southampton Village, and Gabreski Airport for private aviation needs. This rare combination of historical significance, modern luxury, and prime Hamptons positioning makes the Canoe Place Boathouses an exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers seeking effortless access to the best the East End has to offer.
