Gracious Riverfront Home where the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound Meet

Discover the ultimate nature retreat at this inviting riverfront home, situated ideally in the heart of the Great Island Estuary at the mouth of the Connecticut River - one of the world's most beautiful and ecologically significant destinations.

Surrounded by three acres of meadows and lawns, this unique setting is a haven for birdwatchers, kayakers, fishing enthusiasts, and anyone seeking tranquility in unspoiled landscapes. Watch ospreys soar, herons wade, and the tides gently shift right from your doorstep.

Step onto your private deck and take in panoramic views of tidal marshes, two light houses, winding creeks, and the sparkling Connecticut River as it meets Long Island Sound.

Enjoy this all from a gracious, riverfront, air-conditioned home with bright, airy living spaces and large windows that frame stunning water views. The main house has two bedrooms that comfortably accommodate up to four guests, each with a fully renovated en-suite bathroom. An adjacent guesthouse with two bedrooms is available on demand, for an additional fee. The guest house is more rustic and does not have central AC.

You have a choice of two newly renovated kitchens to prepare local seafood and native summer produce, or enjoy the freshly renovated main deck, perfect for sunset barbecues, morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or launching your kayak.
