Devon Yacht Club Charts Course for Higher Ground

Hoping to survive rising seas, yacht club sets course for next 100 years

Citing the threat of erosion, the Devon Yacht Club, a private club and marina founded in 1908 on a 13-acre parcel of land along Gardiner’s Bay in Amagansett, is seeking to move to higher ground.

At the May 18 East Hampton Town Planning Board meeting, the club presented a preliminary plan for the move, which board members greeted favorably.

“The board of governors and the membership have realized that the aging facility should be upgraded to make it more flood-resilient to ensure longevity, while simultaneously improving the club’s efforts at the protection of the natural resources present on the property,” the application reads. “It is specifically noted that the improvements that are proposed at this site will not increase the size, membership, or the capacity of the Devon Yacht Club.”

The current buildings would be demolished, and the clubhouse, bath house, and sailing center would be moved away from the water. A residence used as staff housing would also be moved. Minor aspects of the plan include relocating a workshop and reconfiguring the tennis courts.

The town’s new Coastal Assessment and Resiliency Plan (CARP), released late in April, warns of the potential for East Hampton to be transformed “into a series of islands with permanent submergence of low-lying areas, as early as 2070.” Financially, this could be crippling: “Losses associated with property damage will increase significantly in the future due to sea level rise and increased flood risks.”

It would be years before some aspects of CARP, such as the implementation of flood barriers and levees, would happen. Right away, though, the report recommends starting “shoreline setback review and regulation” and establishing a “Design Flood Elevation, that incorporates sea level rise.”  

“They’re looking to make sure this club is going to be around for the next hundred years,” said Richard Warren, a land-use planner representing Devon before the board.

The current staff housing is located close to wetlands, which is problematic. Worse, according to Marco Wu, a town planner, the building is “serviced by a cesspool located in the wetlands.” The good news is that the club proposes to locate a low-nitrogen on-site waste treatment system in the optimal location, given the environmental constraints on the property.”

“How many employees reside in the residence?” asked Samuel Kramer, the planning board chairman.

“About 18,” said Mr. Warren. Its sanitary system “has been there forever,” he said.

“This is a pretty ambitious project on a difficult site,” he added. “We’re looking at phasing the construction.” To start with, the tennis courts will be removed. The sanitary, clubhouse, and parking reconfiguration would also be done in Phase One.

Devon will restore the dunes as much as possible, Mr. Warren said, as the buildings are moved away.

“This is the beginning of the process for us, we know we have a long way to go,” he said. Approvals from the Town Zoning Board of Appeals, the Suffolk County Health Department, and the State Department of Environmental Conservation will all be necessary. The move will likely take a year and a half or two years to complete.

“The East Hampton Star has characterized the projected sea level rise as ‘ominous,’ “ said Michael Hansen, a board member. He asked if there was a history of flooding on the property.

“One thing we are concerned about is sea level rise,” Mr. Warren replied. “They haven’t had incidents to date of significant storm damage.” He said the new buildings would be on pylons.

All the board members agreed that taking the cesspool out of the wetlands was key to the project and a huge improvement.

“It’s a hugely ambitious project, needless to say,” said Ed Krug, a member. “You’re rebuilding the club. I thank you for taking the issue of rising sea level and coastal resiliency seriously.”

Mr. Kramer, citing other big projects in town, was concerned about the construction debris. “In terms of community impact, I would like to make sure the hauling out of the former buildings . . . is not overwhelming the local streets,” he said.

But he was pleased with the detail shown in the preliminary plan. “It looks like you have a very comprehensive, forward-thinking way of dealing with this,” he said.

A Call for Pop-Up Mom-and-Pops

The Anchor Society of East Hampton, a nonprofit community group working to revitalize the village business district and return a warmer sense of community to Main Street and Newtown Lane, has issued a call for applications to its Winter Shops program, which will place pop-up shops in otherwise empty storefronts during the off-season.

Cole Brauer Has Made Her Mark

After successfully completing her 27,759-mile solo nonstop sail around the world last Thursday as part of the Global Solo Challenge, Cole Brauer received myriad thank-yous from near and far for having not only inspired a generation of young women (and at the beginning of International Women’s Month, no less) who might not otherwise have taken up a historically male-dominated sport, but also for having inspired everyone — young and old, male and female.

After Jimmy Ernst died, a huge bed / piece of art from his father, the surrealist Max Ernst, had to be moved from Jimmy’s Lee Avenue house. It wasn’t easy.

Is This Wooded Enclave the Best-Kept Secret in the Hamptons?

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Tucked away from the opulent seafood towers at Le Bilboquet in Sag Harbor, The Surf Lodge’s famously raucous summer soirees in Montauk, and the designer boutiques in downtown East Hampton is a quiet, under-the-radar enclave in the Amagansett North area that is known to those in the know as Devon Colony. Among its laid-back charms are its tiny, no-frills downtown area and its 116-year-old yacht club, its swathes of preserved agricultural land, its authentic fish markets, and historic residences.

Devon Colony, between East Hampton and Amagansett, was founded in 1908 by four wealthy businessmen from Cincinnati: William Cooper Procter (of Procter & Gamble), Richmond Levering (of Lever Brothers), Joseph Rawn, and William Rowe. The men first came across the area during a hunting trip—back then, hunting was common on the East End of Long Island—and they eventually acquired 1,000 acres in the Amagansett Highlands, where they built a cluster of homes they used as their summer residences.

The enclave was one of the first gated communities in the Hamptons, but because Procter & Gamble’s soap sales helped pay for the homes within Devon Colony, it initially garnered a contemptuous reputation among some of the more high-brow Hamptonites as “Soap Hill.” The foursome also founded the still-standing Devon Yacht Club, which includes a small private marina.

Mickey, Marilyn, McCartney

“Devon Colony is tucked between Napeague Bay and the Atlantic Ocean; it’s much less crowded than the lanes or dunes of Amagansett,” says Martha Gundersen, a listing agent with Douglas Elliman in the Hamptons. “What people love about it are big plots of land surrounded by the Peconic Land Trust, which is state-owned land. There are 500 acres of New York State land that will remain undeveloped that surround Cranberry Hole Road, which is where many of the homes are. Many successful people seeking an under-the-radar destination own here, including [Galaxy CEO] Michael Novogratz, businessman Mickey Drexler, and entrepreneur Fouad Chartouni, among others.”

Those “others” include Paul McCartney, Alec Baldwin, Randy Lerner, and, on occasion, high-profile renters like Bill and Hillary Clinton; in the 1950s, Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller shacked up for a short time a charming cottage converted from a windmill. Still, despite its history of illustrious residents, Devon Colony has largely remained an unheralded hideaway, with neither a Chanel boutique nor a Sant Ambroeus cafe within miles.

More Elbow Room, More Privacy

“For as long Devon Colony has existed, people have taken the environment into consideration,” Gunderson says. “People come out here to enjoy the bird life and slow-paced living. A certain caliber of people don’t just want a house, they want land, privacy, and to be a part of the community. You’ll see Paul McCartney on his boat driving past, you’ll see Randy Lerner downtown.”

Gunderson goes on to say that once people get a feel for the landscape of the Hamptons and discover Devon Colony, it appeals because “there’s more elbow room and a more laid-back, less-crowded atmosphere,” she explains. Situated within the elevated Amagansett Highlands, Devon Colony has far-reaching views of Gardiners Bay, the ocean, and the surrounding land. Situated within thickets of forest, horse farms, and farmland, the lack of development is thanks to the large amount of preserved land.

Over the years, Devon Colony has also become known to design- and architecture-loving locals for its historic homes and picturesque gardens. Indeed, homes in Devon Colony are regularly included on the East Hampton House and Garden Tour that’s put on annually by the East Hampton Historical Society.

Yesterday’s Traditions, Today

When the men from Cincinnati built their homes for their families, they crafted four grand stucco mansions and one shingle-style home, which were originally known as ‘the cottages.’ The families tapped Cincinnati-based architectural firm Tietig and Lee to create the Italianate villa-style homes with English-style perennial gardens. This stucco-over-concrete style was unusual for the Hamptons at the time. Not just that, but these homes rivaled the size of other famed mansions in Long Island’s blue-blooded Gold Coast, particularly those in Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor.

All five of the original homes are still standing, though they’ve had extensive renovations and alterations. Many of the homes have remained in the same families since they were built. The Levering house was last sold in 2018 for $8.75 million to its current owner.

At the heart of the community is the Devon Yacht Club, which has remained largely unchanged since its founding in 1908, and that’s just the way members like it. Situated along Gardiner’s Bay, the club has long been popular as a family-friendly club that hosts kids’ sailing and tennis lessons. It’s also one of the few private members’ clubs that still holds old-school traditions true; a dress code is enforced throughout, from the beach to the dining room and the tennis courts. “They still shoot off a cannon at sundown,” says Paul Brennan, a listing agent with Douglas Elliman, who lives and works in the area.

Putting Down Roots

At a time when the Hamptons real estate prices are skyrocketing—and bidding wars have reached an all-time high—agents are seeing increased interest from buyers seeking close proximity to their favorite Hamptons hotspots and the beach, yet with more land, lower taxes, and additional privacy.

Among the current offerings is a brand-new, $5 million modern farmhouse-style estate that sits on three quarters of an acre directly across from a 30-acre preserve and an eight-bedroom residence on two acres that’s just five minutes from the beach and priced at $11.7 million . And just south of Montauk Highway, another new build, a 12,400-square-foot spread that borders the golf course of South Fork Country Club and isn’t too far from the popular Amber Waves Farm, Market, and Cafe, is on the market for $14.75 million .

“The thing that attracts me the most—and I think the thing that attracts people like the Randy Lerners and Mickey Drexlers of the world, is that they can step onto the public bay beaches and swim, kayak, and paddleboard without anyone bothering them,” Gunderson says. “It offers clean air and a quiet life.”

A world apart in many ways, Devon Colony is also convenient to the farm stands in Amagansett, downtown East Hampton and popular hot spots like the Stephen Talkhouse music venue. For many modern buyers, the solitude of the forested land and the working farms might not appeal. But once you get accustomed to the open spaces and slower pace of living, it’s pretty hard to leave.

Amagansett yacht club sues Suffolk over shellfish leases

An Amagansett yacht club has filed a lawsuit against Suffolk County’s aquaculture lease program, alleging 21 potential leases for shellfish farms in Napeague Bay could infringe on members’ sailing.

Devon Yacht Club, which according to the filing in state Supreme Court in Riverhead, has 326 member families who sail 8- to 14-foot vessels from Memorial Day to Oct. 1, alleged the Suffolk County Aquaculture Lease Board did not consider the club’s boating rights when it approved 2017 leases on July 26. Also named in the suit is the county Department of Planning and Planning Director Sarah Lansdale.

If completed, the aquaculture operations could make 300 acres of the bay near the yacht club off-limits for boating, the lawsuit states. Of the half dozen potential leaseholders named in the filing, only Amagansett Oyster Co., plans to move forward with shellfish farming, county officials told the club’s attorney.

“It’s a very unfortunate choice of sites. I can’t imagine that the county actually understood there was recreational use here,” Devon’s attorney Linda Margolin said.

A state judge last Wednesday issued an order barring the county from authorizing new leases or allowing operations to move forward on 10 parcels near the yacht club. County officials declined to comment on the lawsuit, which was filed Nov. 27.

Legis. Bridget Fleming (D-Noyac) said she was hopeful the county could reach a compromise with the yacht club.

“These uses are not incompatible. Our economy depends on both of these groups being able to thrive,” she said.

Adopted in 2009, the aquaculture program offers 5- and 10-acre leases of underwater county-owned land in Peconic Bay and Gardiners Bay for shellfish cultivation. There are currently 50 leaseholders, according to the county’s website.

The program is intended as an economic stimulus for the marine industry as well as an environmental solution for contamination in the bays. Bivalves such as oysters and clams are natural filter feeders and can help clean the water.

“To limit that is ridiculous,” said Robert Valenti, who owns Multi Aquaculture Systems, one of two aquaculture companies already operating near Devon. It is not named in the suit.

Margolin said the club isn’t against aquaculture in principle — it makes an annual contribution to a shellfish hatchery in Montauk — but has concerns about the location of the parcels named in the lawsuit.

East Hampton Town and the state Department of Environmental Conservation were named as additional respondents in the suit. East Hampton Town Attorney Michael Sendlenski noted that since there are no allegations against the town made in the lawsuit, he expected the town to be dismissed from the case. A spokeswoman for the DEC said agency officials do not comment on pending litigation.
