Remsenburg, deep in its farming, equine, and nautical history, has a distinctly Norman Rockwell–ish charm—where lawns, winding roads, and classic homes set the scene for a close-knit, unhurried way of life. Shaped by land and water, it reflects a timeless sense of community, local pride, and everyday moments that feel warmly familiar.  Despite not having  ‘Hampton” in its name, it is the south western-most hamlet of Southampton, New York, and closest to NYC both by car and by train. This small, rural community features an array of inviting homes, from  large country manors to  converted cottages and new construction homes on quiet, tree-lined streets.
