Nestled in the pine-dotted landscape of East Quogue, The Hills by Discovery Land Company is redefining what it means to live well in the Hamptons. More than a residential community, The Hills is a members-only retreat where luxury, outdoor recreation and holistic wellness are thoughtfully woven into every detail of daily life.
As the only gated community in the Hamptons offering 24-hour security, a Tom Fazio-designed golf course and exclusive access to the iconic Dune Deck Beach Club, The Hills sets a new standard for modern coastal living. All residents—who must also be property owners—enjoy exceptional amenities: “barefoot golf” complete with gourmet comfort stations, pickleball, padel and tennis courts, a comprehensive wellness center and spa, and a robust culinary program that celebrates the region’s local flavor.
With 110 residences ranging from sleek condominiums to turnkey golf-side homes and cottages, there’s a dream home to be found for every lifestyle. Architecture by Hart Howerton honors the natural beauty of the landscape, while the property’s proximity to the Francis S. Gabreski Airport ensures seamless weekend arrivals. “We’ve created community by integrating customized amenities, five-star service and unique family programming,” says Discovery Land founder and chairman Mike Meldman. “It’s the laid-back charm of being home, with all the perks of hotel concierge services, where our team truly feels like family.”
Residents enjoy the best of both worlds: A 15-minute drive allows exclusive access to Westhampton Beach’s Dune Deck Beach Club, a coastal escape with private cabanas, oceanfront dining, a resort-style pool and a full roundup of outdoor pursuits—from paddleboarding and sailing to seaside wellness sessions.
Health and vitality are at the heart of life at The Hills. The wellness complex, designed around the four pillars of movement, sleep, nutrition and recovery, fuses state-of-the-art tech with holistic programming to support longevity and a deeper kind of well-being for all. Whether residents opt for a restorative spa treatment, cutting-edge training or a recovery-based therapy, wellness is part of every day.
Mindful living extends beyond The Hills’ top-tier wellness offerings. Set amid hundreds of acres of stunning preserved land, care for the planet is also top of mind. To lessen the community’s carbon footprint, water runoff from local farms will be recycled and reused for golf course irrigation, while also prioritizing geothermal heating and cooling, solar energy and electric vehicles throughout the property. Even The Hills’ rich culinary program reflects a steadfast commitment to this ethos, with on-site gardens producing fresh ingredients for the community’s dining venues.
And while life at The Hills is distinctly luxurious, it’s equally grounded in family and legacy. “It is the pinnacle for families seeking a strong sense of community and a modern take on Hamptons tradition,” says Meldman. From its Kids’ Club and recreation center to design-forward gathering spaces and multigenerational programming, the property is built to inspire meaningful connection across all ages and stages. discoverylandco.com
