Great Island

DA R I EN , C T

An extraordinary 63 acre island compound with over one mile of coastline directly on the Long Island Sound.

High on a rocky bluff, a stately, nine-bedroom, 13,000-squarefoot Mediterranean-style Manor with two guest wings commands unobstructed views of The Norwalk Islands to the East, Greens Ledge Light and the north shore of Long Island to the South.

A shoreline reminiscent of the Maine coast and white crescent sand beaches are complemented by a rustic beach and bath house, and a seaside cottage with breathtaking views. A deep-water marina with private docking and stone boathouse offer direct access to Long Island Sound.

The world class Equestrian Center consists of an 18-stall, Norman chateau-style granite stable with Guastavino-tile vaulted ceilings, and an attached indoor riding arena. Nearby, overlooking the harbor, is an outdoor sand dressage ring and a half-size polo field, suitable for hunter/jumper courses.

Great Island

DA R I EN , C T Great Island is the premier estate property located in the exclusive Connecticut coastal community of Darien. On the market for the first time in over a century, the 63-acre private island estate is accessible via causeway and dramatically opens to over one mile of Long Island Sound shoreline.

The largely undeveloped Great Island, originally purchased in 1905 as a summer estate by baking powder magnate William Ziegler, is still owned by his descendants. Several architecturally significant buildings, many constructed in granite, grace the island and nearly all buildings are sited on high ground. Alternating wooded areas interspersed with ornamental lawns balance each other beautifully.

Great Island is a superb gem of land — natural, unspoiled and easily secured. One of the last intact, gilded-era European-style waterfront estates on the east coast, this historic property is steeped in rich and storied tradition. A world-class waterfront estate, within striking distance to New York City, is just 15 minutes to Greenwich, CT.
