Welcome to Great Island, a remarkable private 60-acre island offering over a mile of shoreline on the Long Island Sound. Home to the same family for generations, this is the largest private island ever to be offered for sale on the East Coast. The centerpiece of the property is a circa 1905 13,000sf manor, reminiscent of a romantic villa. A 3-bedroom stone house, 19th century Farmhouse, Seaside Bungalow & a charming Beach Cottage share the setting with a sandy beach & rare deep-water dock. The compound's world-class equestrian facility is equally impressive, & includes a beautiful 18-stall granite stable, indoor & outdoor rings, polo field, paddocks & riding trails. Exceptional on every level, there's no doubt that Great Island represents one of the nation's most extraordinary offerings.
