Sunset Hill, formerly owned by author James Jones, “From here to Eternity” was an 1860’s farmhouse built to capture the sunsets from one of the highest points south of the highway. Standing proudly as a gateway into the historic district of Sagaponack, Sunset Hill is surrounded by working farm fields, local produce stands and majestic ocean beaches. This hilltop home boasts 200-year old copper beach trees, maples, hawthorns and chestnuts – creating an unrivalled setting of timeless beauty in this highly sought after locale.

ModernGreenHome has proudly restored this historic residence into a 6300 sq ft environmentally friendly yet stunning modern home. The existing historic residence has been fully renovated and restored utilizing eco-friendly materials such as FSC certified lumber, formaldehyde-free insulation and a multitude of recycled and energy efficient products. The 3300 sq ft addition off the back of the old house includes a great-room, a luxurious master bedroom, master bath and dressing room. A modern pool house with gunite pool, three car garage and historic potting shed complete the picture. This house is a delicate balance of modernism that is in complete harmony with both history and nature.

One of the stunning aspects of this project is that despite all the focus on sustainable building practices, nothing has been spared in the way of luxury and the quality of specifications. Gaggenau appliances, Boffi kitchen cabinets and Dornbracht fixtures are just a few of the names that have been included. There is a state of the art geothermal system that combines central heating and cooling, radiant floor heating, hot water collection and a pool temperature control system. Roof drains collect rainwater used for irrigation and a 10 kilowatt photovoltaic solar panel system reduces the house’s carbon footprint by half.
