An Equestrian’s Island Paradise
Equally memorable is the compound’s world-class equestrian facility designed by renowned architect Rafael Guastavino and was home base to five-time Olympic show jumper and gold medalist William Steinkraus. Equestrians will appreciate the beautiful 18-stall granite stable and indoor heated riding arena. Just outside and overlooking the harbor, there is an outdoor sand dressage ring and a large, half-size polo field which is suitable for setting hunter/jumper courses and the numerous paddocks and riding trails that comprise the facility.
Private Dock, Secluded Beach, Panoramic Views
Exceptional for its history, architectural beauty and spectacular natural surroundings, there’s no doubt that Great Island represents one of the nation’s most extraordinary o!erings.
