Lloyd Harbor Real Estate, Scenic and Private

At more than nine square miles in size, the Village of Lloyd Harbor doesn’t sound very village-like. Still, while it is the state’s second largest incorporated village, Lloyd Harbor also has a small population – a mere 3,700, as of 2008 U.S. Census estimates – that live in homes strewn throughout a tranquil, mostly rural landscape. If you prefer living far from the madding crowd, Lloyd Harbor real estate sounds ideal for you.

The village is within the Town of Huntington in Suffolk County and lies perched on a neck of land that extends onto Huntington Bay and Long Island Sound. Waterfront views abound and some of the most valuable Lloyd Harbor real estate are homes that have sweeping water vistas and their own private docks.

Being a particularly picturesque section of the North Shore, Lloyd Harbor was the site of many of the grand estates that once marched along the Gold Coast during the Gilded Age. Among the grandest was Caumsett, Marshall Field III’s 1,500-acre estate, which survives to this day as the Caumsett State Historic Park. Residents of Lloyd Harbor real estate enjoy the park’s fields, rocky coastal area, thick woods and miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails.

As with many like communities on the North Shore, zoning in Lloyd Harbor is currently restricted to a minimum of two acres, and may be upzoned in the near future. New homes are also required to not exceed 6,000 square feet if they are built on two-acre lots. These and other restrictions – including the ban on streetlights and much outdoor lighting – have helped preserve the community’s secluded, country feel.
