Cobble Villa, also known as Villa Clara, was a historic home located at Long Beach in Nassau County, New York. It was built about 1912, and was a 2+1⁄2-story, asymmetrical Mediterranean Revival style brick and stuccoed dwelling. It consisted of an L-shaped core, a two-story gambrel roofed addition, and a one-story porte cochere. The building featured a varied, multi-gabled roofline covered in red terra cotta tile. It was built as the nascent resort's first showpiece and a demonstration of its developer's vision.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 and despite a dedicated preservation effort from the community, the home was ultimately demolished by the property owner in 2025 due to its state of decay and burden in repairs. ^[1]^[3]
