▶ Tour the Farm ShopA rare holding of home, farm and protected land.
Rooted in the agricultural heritage of Cutchogue, 4735 Cox Lane represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive North Fork farmstead, thoughtfully assembled across three separate parcels totaling approximately 27.8 acres. At its heart is a fully functioning farm shop and market, complete with a commercial kitchen, dedicated cheese-making building, restrooms, and accessory processing facilities, accompanied by a three-bedroom residence. Beyond the farmstead, 25.69 acres of protected agricultural land, complemented by accessory farm structures, preserve the property's connection to the land and the enduring farming traditions of the region. A separate 0.27-acre homesite, featuring an additional three-bedroom residence, further expands the possibilities of this exceptional offering. More than a collection of buildings and acreage, 4735 Cox Lane is an opportunity to carry forward an established agricultural presence, with the infrastructure, land, and versatility to support a new chapter in the North Fork's storied farming landscape.
The three parcels offer a unique combination of commercial, agricultural, and residential uses, creating an opportunity for a buyer to acquire an established farm operation with the land and infrastructure to support its continued growth. The Farm Shop and Residence provide an immediate commercial presence and the facilities to support retail, food preparation, and agricultural processing, while the 25.69 acres of protected farmland offer a substantial agricultural foundation for cultivation and production. The separate homesite adds a second residential component, creating flexibility for an owner-operator, farm manager, extended family, or those seeking to combine business and country living. Whether envisioned as the continuation of an existing agricultural enterprise, a specialty food and farm-market operation, or a multi-generational farming venture, the offering brings together elements that are increasingly difficult to assemble on the North Fork: productive farmland, established commercial infrastructure, and residential accommodations in one cohesive setting.
What buyers ask.
Can the parcels be purchased separately?
Offered together as a single package, the three parcels provide a turnkey opportunity for a buyer to step into an established agricultural operation with the land, infrastructure, and facilities already in place.
What does the Development Easement mean for an owner?
25.69 acres are protected by a development rights easement, preserving the land's agricultural character while allowing it to remain privately owned and actively farmed. Permitted uses generally include crop cultivation, livestock, greenhouses, and agricultural structures such as barns and equipment storage, subject to easement terms and applicable approvals. Conventional residential development, subdivision, and non-agricultural commercial construction are generally prohibited. Importantly, the easement does not prevent productive use of the land; rather, it protects its long-term agricultural potential. Paired with the separately situated Farm Shop, commercial kitchen, cheese-making facilities, and residences, the protected acreage provides a substantial agricultural foundation for a buyer to continue and build upon an established North Fork farming operation.
Is the farm shop currently operating?
At the heart of this offering is its established, currently operating farm shop and market, a cherished destination for the North Fork community and a reflection of the farm's longstanding commitment to local agriculture, sustainability, and thoughtfully sourced food. Featuring an on-site butcher shop, café, commercial kitchen, and an exceptional selection of pasture-raised meats, house-made charcuterie, fresh produce, eggs, prepared foods, and specialty goods, the market has cultivated a loyal following of local residents and visitors alike. More than simply a place to shop, it has become a gathering point for the community and an integral part of the North Fork's farm-to-table culture, offering a new owner the opportunity to carry forward an established and beloved local business.
Can the property produce income?
Yes. The farm and residences offer multiple potential revenue streams, creating an opportunity for a buyer to acquire a diversified agricultural and commercial enterprise rather than simply a farm. The operating farm shop provides income through retail sales of pasture-raised meats, charcuterie, fresh produce, eggs, specialty foods, and prepared meals, complemented by café and food-service operations. The 25.69 acres of protected farmland provide opportunities for continued livestock production, crop cultivation, specialty agriculture, and wholesale distribution to local restaurants and markets, while the farm's processing and kitchen facilities support value-added food production. Additional opportunities may include farm-to-table experiences, educational programming, community events, and rental income from the two residential dwellings, subject to applicable zoning and easement restrictions. Together, the three parcels offer a diversified platform with multiple avenues for generating income, expanding existing operations, and building upon an established North Fork agricultural brand.

The Land
The 25.69-acre agricultural parcel serves as the expansive foundation of the farm offering, providing a substantial tract of protected farmland that preserves the property's connection to the North Fork's rich agricultural heritage. Secured by a development rights easement, the land remains privately owned and available for continued agricultural use, including crop cultivation, livestock, specialty farming, orchards, and other permitted agricultural activities, with opportunities for approved farm-related structures and infrastructure. Its protected status helps safeguard the open landscape and long-term agricultural integrity of the property, while the adjoining farm shop, commercial kitchen, processing facilities, and residential accommodations create a complementary operation with the infrastructure to bring farm production directly to market. Together, the parcels offer a rare opportunity to acquire a cohesive agricultural enterprise with meaningful scale, established facilities, and the potential to carry its legacy forward.
One of the property's greatest strengths is its diversified agricultural operation, combining pasture-raised livestock, rotational grazing, vegetable cultivation, and value-added farm products. This creates a genuine farm-to-market model, with the ability to raise, grow, process, and sell products through the established on-site retail operation.

What it means for an owner
The development rights easement preserves the 25.69 acres as protected agricultural land, ensuring its long-term availability for farming while allowing the owner to retain full ownership and continue productive agricultural operations. Permitted uses generally include crop cultivation, livestock, specialty farming, and approved agricultural structures, subject to the terms of the easement. While conventional residential and non-agricultural development is restricted, the preservation status safeguards the property's open landscape, agricultural integrity, and connection to the North Fork's farming heritage. For a prospective buyer, it represents an opportunity to own a substantial and protected agricultural resource as part of a fully integrated farm operation.
