"Field of Dreams"

Posted to Doug McCullough, Hamptons Lifestyle

At the end of my street, on Dayton Lane, East Hampton, an 8 acre farm lot was spared from the clutches of further development. It will forever remain a rich open “Field of Dreams.” It’s a lovely meandering meadow, for the propagation of wild flowers, and so much more significant flora. I’m accustomed to now think of it as one huge landing strip for fine, feathered, fauna to feast upon. It also serves as the new hot spot for land lubbing four legged critters, contently mulling around day into night.

What makes this site so unique is that it blankets 8 acres in the Village of East Hampton; a rare and valuable commodity.

The Peconic Land Trust, a non-profit organization, along with a wonderful group of local conscientious residents, ensured the protection of this precious natural land. To them, I am grateful.

They work to protect thousands of acres of land now, and, in the future. With every successful open space preservation, they demonstrate their steadfast dedication to saving our community’s traditional ways of life and its rural character. They treat the land, and by natural extention, the residents; both part time and year round, with respect.

I urge you to explore and participate in one or several of the varied Hamptons’ events which the Peconic Land Trust hosts throughout the year. These events celebrate all the successes and help support future preservation work on Long Island.

While you’re out here visiting, let me help you further your exploration and understanding of what our residential communities have to offer. I can arrange for private appointments to view many wonderful rental and sales opportunities. At the top of the list of luxury homes to explore could possibly be one of my listings!

Until then…WDM
