The picturesque North Fork of Long Island
is surrounded by the Peconic Bay, Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Each body of water has its unique charms.
Just looking at the water has a calming effect... and swimming in any of these marvelous bodies of water makes
a splendid memory.
Harbor Knoll overlooks Shelter Island and is an easy walk from the charming Village of Greenport. Antiquing, Biking,
Sailing, Swimming, Horseback Riding, Fine Dining and Wine-tasting are all within easy reach.
The landscape of the North Fork boasts golden-hued vineyards, horse pastures, fishing villages, historic barns
and 19th century churches. Farm stands sell farm-fresh produce and seasonal fare: pumpkins, fruit pies, and an
abundance of fresh vegetables. The warm sea breezes create a micro-climate akin to that of Bordeaux, France. Fertile
soil and hospitable climate has transformed the North Fork into a new and important wine region.
