Inn at Box Farm

Cedar shingles emerged as the preferred building material for siding in the 1600s. Resistance to rot, weather worthiness, ease if use, combined with the abundance of red cedar trees made it the perfect exterior finish for the modest homes of the time. The modern-day architecture referred to as "Hamptons Shingle Style" utilizes this humble building material as the finish for elaborate Hamptons estates.
Box Farm
Located in the beautiful community of Water Mill, in Southampton, New York, Box Farm is an original 1600's colonial farmhouse situated on twenty acres. The rarity and age of this residence, and architectural significance of the property have qualified it to be placed on the list of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Lovingly restored and beautifully decorated, Box Farm has three common rooms, a dining room and country kitchen, six beautiful bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and a lovely porch, overlooking the Inn's own swimming pool, all less than one mile from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The House and Property
Box Farm is one of the few farmhouses which have survived from the 1600's. The property's first owners predated 1686. Expanded over generations, the house derived its form from early English and Dutch traditional homes and although modified over time, still remains an excellent example of architectural decoration of the 1700 and 1800's. The property boasts spacious lawns, 200 year old shade trees with hammocks and a lovely porch overlooking our beautiful swimming pool.

In brief, it is not possible to be more centrally located in the Hamptons. One mile from sandy ocean beaches, Box Farm rests in the center of the Hamptons, four miles to Southampton, one mile to Bridgehampton, six miles to East Hampton.
