This property offers significant privacy with over 15 acres of meadows and woods, including a small year-round freshwater stream. Delightful traditional hip-roofed boathouse, completely restored as an artist's studio and now grandfathered, sits perched on the edge of the shore with spectacular water views.

Home to well-known New York City artists and The Heliker-LaHotan Foundation for the past 60 years, this site was first settled by Enoch B. Stanley in the early 19th century and has a rich history of traditional boatbuilding. The island is accessible from the mainland by year-round ferry service or private boat. A unique and rare island offering.
