Nestled on the picturesque North Shore of Long Island, Sands Point exudes timeless charm and elegance. This quaint village, situated at the northern tip of the Cow Neck Peninsula in Nassau County, New York, offers a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life while still being conveniently located within reach of urban amenities.
With a rich history dating back to its incorporation in 1910, Sands Point has evolved into a close-knit community of approximately 2,675 residents. Spanning 5.6 square miles, the village boasts a captivating landscape, with 4.2 square miles of land and 1.4 square miles of pristine waterways. Bordered by Long Island Sound to the south, Hempstead Harbor to the east, and Manhasset Bay to the west, Sands Point is a haven for waterfront living.
The village's history is woven into its fabric, with landmarks such as the iconic Hempstead House, once owned by Daniel Guggenheim and now maintained by the Friends of the Sands Point Preserve. Harry Guggenheim's estate, "Falaise," adds to the area's historical allure, while the assimilation of Barkers Point and Motts Point in 1917 reflects the village's evolution over time.
Today, Sands Point offers an array of real estate options, from sprawling estates to cozy waterfront cottages.
