Incorporated Village · Town of North Hempstead · Nassau County

F. Scott Fitzgerald Country on the Long Island Sound

Kings Point is an incorporated village sitting on the Long Island Sound in Great Neck, Nassau County — F. Scott Fitzgerald country. The United States Merchant Marine Academy anchors the village, lending intellectual and cultural prestige. This is one of the most exclusive residential addresses on Long Island, with waterfront estates on Long Island Sound and a buyer profile that skews toward accomplished professionals, investors, and old-money families.

Homes here trade in the multiple millions. The waterfront is pristine. Village governance is white-glove. Zoning is protective. This is acquisition-level real estate — not a stepping stone, but a destination purchase for buyers making a significant wealth statement. The typical property changes hands once a decade or less frequently.

Kings Point competes primarily with Plandome and a handful of other ultra-exclusive Nassau County addresses. Buyers at this price point are comparing Great Neck addresses to the Hamptons, the North Fork, and multi-state luxury markets. Long Island positioning is almost incidental — the buyer profile is making a statement about themselves through the address and property quality.

Market Intelligence

Off-market is standard. Properties at this price point rarely come through MLS. The Lenard Team is one of the few resources with relationships deep enough to access inventory at this level. Serious buyers should engage the team early and often.

Waterfront command top pricing. Every Kings Point property has water exposure. The value distinction is whether it is direct Sound waterfront with private beach access (top of market) or back-lot positioning with water views (still significant, but a meaningful discount).

Cross-shopping with Plandome and Hamptons. Kings Point buyers making decisions at this price point often compare Kings Point and Plandome (both Great Neck area, different micro-locations) to Hamptons properties and international markets. Long Island positioning is one variable among many.

Wealth statement, not lifestyle choice. Buyers at this price point are making a statement through the address, the academy association, and the quality of the property. The decision to buy in Kings Point is not primarily about walkability or amenities — it is about prestige, privacy, and waterfront positioning at the market peak.

Swan Landing is a magnificent waterfront estate custom-designed by Shope Reno Wharton Associates to exemplify luxury at its highest level. Spanning approximately 23,000 square feet and nestled on 5.4 pristine acres on Long Island’s North Shore, this stone and shingle masterpiece offers 13 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms in a setting of unparalleled beauty and privacy. A long, tree-lined drive leads past sculpted boxwoods and Tuscan-style columns to the home’s striking facade. Inside, grand barrel ceilings and cove lighting guide you into two formal libraries - one clad in English oak, the other in mahogany - each centered around twin 18th-century fireplaces. The heart of the home, a great stair hall with arched windows and custom inlay flooring, leads into a formal living room with panoramic views of Manhasset Bay, curved window walls, circular columns, and refined finishes. The formal dining room features an antique fireplace, crystal chandelier, French doors, and exquisite custom millwork, flowing seamlessly to a stone patio overlooking the waterfront. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with state-of-the-art appliances, a butler’s pantry, a two-level island, and custom cabinetry, while the adjacent octagonal breakfast room - with stained glass accents and five sets of French doors - blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living. Throughout the home, bespoke details abound, from padded and cloth walls to Tischler und Sohn windows, blending old-world elegance with modern comfort. The primary suite offers breathtaking water views, 12-foot ceilings, a sitting room, and two lavish ensuite baths, one a hand-tiled mosaic showpiece, the other rich in mahogany and emerald green marble. Two walk-in closets with dressing areas and a custom island add to the suite’s refined luxury. Additional amenities on the main level include a refrigerated wine room, antique powder room, a staff suite, and a gated elevator. Upstairs, two distinct guest wings offer seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, office space, a secondary laundry room, and a heated stone terrace. The lower level features an indoor saltwater lap pool with French doors to the outdoors, a gaming area, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and changing rooms. The estate grounds, designed by renowned landscape architect Peter Cummin, are a year-round sanctuary with Japanese maples, beech trees, and hydrangea-draped seawalls. Outdoor highlights include a romantic lily pond, English garden, greenhouse, custom pony house, waterfront Har-Tru tennis court, and a private dock and beach with East End-imported sand. An outdoor saltwater pool with slate patio and entertaining pavilion completes the main residence, while a separate two-bedroom, two-bath guest cottage offers additional accommodations. Grand in scale yet warm in feel, Swan Landing is a one-of-a-kind property where timeless architecture meets modern sophistication - an enduring estate that simply cannot be replicated.
