Southampton Town officials authorized the purchase of a 2.2-acre oceanfront parcel situated at 1950 Meadow Lane. Funded through the municipal Community Preservation Fund at a transaction price of $25.8 million, the land acquisition converts private real estate into public shoreline access within Southampton Village. The site sits along an established oceanfront corridor known locally for high-value residential properties, immediately adjacent to existing public sand lanes.

Under the terms of the municipal transaction, the property’s existing 1980s-era residential structure and swimming pool are slated for complete removal prior to the municipality taking ownership. The municipal plan utilizes the cleared footprint to build a dedicated vehicle parking lot for local residents while preserving the established dune catwalk to facilitate direct access over the shoreline vegetation.

The project secures coastal property for municipal environmental protection, natural dune conservation, and local recreational use. By converting developed oceanfront property into protected open space, the town board expands resident access to Atlantic shoreline waters while advancing regional coastal resiliency goals.
