If you’re interested in a seaside retreat without the airs of the Hamptons, a prime waterfront property is for sale in a quaint village that has been affectionately called “Boreport.”

The nearly five-acre property with 300 feet of beach in Bellport was owned since the early part of the 20th century by the family of Elmer Sperry, an inventor who founded the Sperry Corporation. (His original residence was sold off years ago and is on the adjoining property.)

The property has a three-bedroom cottage — which was built in the 1960s, long after Sperry’s death — with panoramic water views, two in-ground pools and a guest cottage overlooking a pond on a parcel preserved by the town.

Isabella Rossellini and Charlie Rose live in the low-key beach community, which was once summer home to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis when she was a girl.

The property was sold by the Sperry family in 2007 for $5.5 million and is now back on the market for $5.7. It is listed with Anthony Gandolfo of Old Purchase Properties in Bellport.
