Idyllic Private Island Near The Hamptons Hits the Market For $2.75 Million



A stunning private island just 14 miles from The Hamptons in southern Connecticut has hit the market for just $2.75 million. Located in the iconic Thimbles archipelago, the fully-furnished 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house has it’s own dock. The 2,038-square-foot home sits on a private island that was a hub for lobstermen and commercial fishermen in the 1800s. The house was built in 1912 and was originally a boarding house. While the property has been restored for a modern-day homeowner, it still maintains its vintage vibe inside. The external features have been professionally modified to include a new roof, irrigation system, porches, and exterior window trims. The grassy yard around the house has also been expanded, with pink granite added to the seawall. There is also a shed for storage, which has a new roof. The island is 75 miles from Manhattan, with access to Amtrak and Metro North stations nearby.
