About this home
Set on its very own private isle, this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom retreat redefines luxury coastal living. Enjoy unmatched privacy and serenity, all just a five-minute boat ride from the idlyllic Stony Creek mainland-a rare balance of peaceful island living with effortless convenience and peace of mind. Family and guests will appreciate the added benefit of a seasonal water taxi, operating hourly in the summertime, ensuring smooth and enjoyable arrivals and departures. Sunlit interiors showcase sweeping, unobstructed water views from nearly every room, while gentle sea breezes drift through a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. Elegant living and entertaining rooms spill onto a series of spectacular balconies and terraces, each oriented to capture the ever-changing hues of sunrise and sunset over Long Island Sound. The kitchen, slightly staged with new countertops, offers both style and flexibility-ready for your personal touch to transform it into a culinary haven. This property is brimming with potential: imagine your own vacation escape for spring, summer, and fall, a lucrative VRBO investment, or an unforgettable wedding venue where guests are enveloped in the island's enchanting atmosphere. The primary suite is a world unto itself, boasting its own private balconies, a spa-inspired bath, and vistas that stretch to the horizon. Three additional bedrooms offer comfort and privacy for family and guests alike.
Outdoors, the resort-caliber amenities continue-a heated gunite pool shimmers beside lush, manicured lawns, while an expansive 1.1-acre landscape unfolds with secret gardens, winding pathways, and sunny lounging decks. Whether hosting sunset socials by the pool, launching a kayak from your private dock, or simply savoring total seclusion, every moment here is infused with the magic of island life. This is more than a home-it's a legacy estate, a private sanctuary, and an invitation to experience Connecticut's most enchanting coastal enclave. Escape the ordinary and claim your place among the Thimble Islands' storied shores.

Finally..A spectacular East Coast luxurious Island priced comparable to most beautiful shoreline retreats but with one special feature...PRIVACY!!!! Potato Island (Featured in Forbes and Fox News) - Private, serene, almost transcendental environment; a brief but reflective two minute boat ride from the colorful shores of Stony Creek, Connecticut. Enjoy the sunrise over your heated, gunite pool nestled on the Eastern end of your private island, facing Stony Creek's quaint shoreline. Follow the sun to it's setting on the West end, while enjoying your favorite book and beverage by your custom granite Jacuzzi. This captivating 3,781 square foot residence embraces four bedrooms, two of which are suites, three and one half baths; all of which have been renovated to perfection. As perfect as the residence is, the privilege of owning such an island emanates from experiencing the outdoors or, at worst, peering out the windows while enjoying the many comforts from within. Outside, enjoy your wrap around porch, 360 degree water views, and park-like grounds adorned with a heated pool and deep water dock. To make it even easier the owners are conveying a boat and working on long term slip and parking space arrangements in Stony Creek. A mere 85 miles to New York City, 135 miles to Boston and a two minute boat ride for a pizza to go! Enjoy!!
