Discover Matinecock: Long Island’s Best-Kept Secret of Old-World Prestige

Tucked quietly on the North Shore of Long Island, Matinecock is a village where privacy, pedigree, and pastoral charm converge. Often overlooked by casual visitors but revered by discerning buyers, Matinecock blends Gold Coast grandeur with an understated, rural elegance just 30 miles from Manhattan.

Estate Living with Legacy Appeal
Matinecock features:

  • Gated country manors on sprawling acreage

  • Historic colonial and Georgian-style estates

  • Horse properties with private riding trails

  • Custom homes set amid mature woodlands

Neighborhood Highlights:
✔ Minutes from the charming village of Locust Valley
✔ Access to elite private schools (e.g., Friends Academy)
✔ Adjacent to exclusive country clubs and yacht harbors
✔ Serene, forested roads ideal for equestrian and outdoor lifestyles

The Matinecock Lifestyle
Morning: Stroll through your rose gardens with coffee in hand
Afternoon: Tennis at the Creek Club or foxhunting nearby
Evening: Candlelit dinners on stone terraces overlooking preserved nature
Weekends: Sailing from nearby Oyster Bay or gallery hopping in Cold Spring Harbor

Why Discerning Buyers Choose Matinecock
• One of Long Island’s most exclusive and private villages
• Located within the historic Gold Coast corridor
• Just over an hour to NYC via private car or LIRR
• Zoned for low density—no commercial sprawl, no streetlights, no nonsense

Note: Zoning restricts commercial development, preserving Matinecock’s tranquil, estate-driven identity. Many homes are generational—off-market purchases are common.

For buyers who value heritage, seclusion, and refined countryside living, Matinecock is the North Shore’s hidden crown.
