I'd give up walkable to the train station and look at Centerport/Northport. Especially since it's not a concern now. Only problem is close to the water is not close to the highway but it's probably worth the tradeoff if you really want to feel like you're "getting away from it all".
It is next to Oyster Bay but it does have a more country tree lined street feeling. It is within 5 minute drive to Oyster Bay’s Teddy Roosevelt Park, boat lunch and the Waterfront Center, where you can rent kayaks and sailboats. Oyster Bay LIRR branch is the slowest but Syosett and Hicksville are about 10 min drive.
I know this house is large and almost 1M but it’s on a private 1 acre of land (I am not related to seller but I just love the location):

Thanks, never been in that area. Will check it out.
East Norwich was on my list when I was looking for my first house.
I still keep an eye on it, at the specific area you are pointing at up to Sagamore Rd. Ridge Rock Ln is very nice street, much nicer than Sagamore or Highwood, but houses on this street come up for sale only once in a few years,so there is really nothing to choose from.
I could not identify any areas there that meet my criteria - easy access to water and transportation. Areas that have ok access to water (for example Beachcroft association) seems to be too far from highways and train station. If you have in mind any specific area, please share, I would like to hear.
flood zone shouldn't be an automatic strike against a property. If the first floor of the house is at a high enough elevation, the risk (and flood insurance costs) is likely minimal.
why on gods green earth would you want to move to the water when you willl flood in the next 10 years.
