One of the most remarkable properties ever to become available, Great Island is a private 60-acre island offering over a mile of pristine shoreline on the Long Island Sound. The beloved home to the same family for generations, this is the largest private island ever to be offered for sale on the East Coast and represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy your own supremely private paradise in one of the region’s most exclusive locales.
Surrounded by sparkling blue waters and approached via a causeway, the centerpiece of the property is a circa 1905 13,000-square-foot manor, reminiscent of a romantic Italian villa and beautifully detailed with the fine craftsmanship for which the era is known.
A guest house, caretaker’s cottage, 19th-century farmhouse, and a charming seaside cottage share the serene setting with a white sandy beach and a rare deep-water dock that can accommodate a 100-foot yacht.
Equally memorable is the compound’s world-class equestrian facility designed by renowned architect Rafael Guastavino, famed for his work on NYC’s Grand Central Station and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Equestrians will appreciate the beautiful 18-stall granite stable, indoor and outdoor riding rings, polo field, and the numerous paddocks and riding trails that comprise the facility.
