North Fork Long Island village with wineries and bay beaches
Situated at the foot of Long Island’s North Fork, Jamesport is a semi-rural, semi-suburban area with acres of fields dedicated to winemaking and a quaint downtown with popular owner-operated businesses. “While there are plenty of farms and vineyards, infrastructure is starting to grow because of sales,” says Carol Szynaka, a broker with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s, member of the prestigious Gold Circle of Excellence and a longtime resident of neighboring Cutchogue. “New residents want more restaurants, groceries—everything.” The area has grown significantly since the Covid-19 pandemic and yet Jamesport maintains its small-town charm with generationally rooted year-rounders welcoming in newcomers and seasonal residents.
Main Road in Jamesport has its historic district with its cute shops and restaurants.
Love Lane Kitchen in nearby Mattituck is wildly popular even on the sometimes sleepy North Fork.

Pristine waterfronts on two sides
Peconic Bay and Long Island Sound coastlines are more subdued yet equally idyllic compared to the Atlantic Ocean beaches in the far pricier Hamptons, just to the south. Homes here are also much more modestly priced. Situated along the Sound, Iron Pier Beach has up-to-date facilities and a boat launch. Miles of pristine and sparsely built-up waterfront extend in either direction. Much of this land is in the Hallock State Park Preserve. On the other side of town, South Jamesport Beach and Park juts out into the bay and includes amenities like tennis courts and a marina. The distance between both waterbodies is only four miles. Great Peconic Bay Marina is another option for residents to dock their seacraft. Indian Island County Park in nearby Aquebogue is a 275-acre nature preserve with wetland trails, campsites, a playground and dog run. Indian Island Golf Course is also close by.
This Marina in Jamesport is a relaxing place to Dock your boat and cruise around town.
Hallock State Park Preserve, beside a vineyard in Jamesport, has extensive hiking to the sound.

Homestead Farm was built in 1760 and operates a popular farmstand that sells eggs, produce and honey, among other goods. Long Island’s North Fork is famous for its thriving wine industry. Jamesport Vineyards is one of the area’s oldest wineries, but Jason’s Vineyard is arguably the most renowned. CUDDY'S is a locally beloved watering hole close to the bay. Jamesport Farm Brewery is situated near the Sound. The closest grocery stores are in Riverhead where there’s a Fine Fare and Gala Fresh Farms. There are also several big box stores located along Riverhead’s Old Country Road.

Postwar ranches and coastal colonials
Homes are mainly near the center of the village on Peconic Bay and in a cluster in the middle of the peninsula while a few grand estates can be found on the Long Island Sound or bayside. While ranch-style homes on quarter and third acre lots range from $500,000 to $650,000, midsized Brookfield colonial and Expanded Cape Cod homes sell for $700,000 to $900,000. Larger waterfront houses with pools and/or private beaches fetch between $900,000 and $2.5 million, depending on size and condition. Because the area is only a few feet above sea level, homes closest to the water might require flood insurance.
The most affordable style of home in Jamesport would most likely be the ranch or the cottage.
