素晴らしい景観を楽しめる牧歌的なショアラインハウスnr Ct College＆Wesleyan

I am a former correspondents for Newsweek Magazine and a banker presently running a non-profit organization focused on preserving the spectacular river ecosystem that surrounds the home.

Our family has been coming and living in the Old Lyme for more than 300 years.

There are few places as beautiful, tranquil or serene on the US East Coast. We are conveniently situated between New York and Boston.

Whether you are boater, triathlete, birder, duck hunter, celebrity in search of anonymity, CEO in search of peace, an academic writing a doctoral thesis, author or just need a break you will find it all here in this very rare, pristine shoreline ecology.

When you arrive you are greeted by the spectacular view of the The secluded three-acre property is one the edge of two-mile long Great Island nature reserve, offering the kind of privacy that is almost unheard of on the East Coast of America. The property has a a dock and a boat house that leads to the Connecticut River and more than 1,000 acres of beaches and federally protected habitats for osprey, and a vast array for birds, and fish that gather at the mouth of the river that leads to Long Island Sound.

Days are filled with swimming, kayaking, sailing, fishing, crabbing, hiking and exploring. At breakfast and dinner you will experience breathtaking sunsets and sunrises and some of the best views on the U.S. East Coast. Some have likened it to being on the African savanna because of the vast expanses.

It's all is accessible by boat or kayak, but not cars.

The property is a perfect launch pad for some of the finest fishing, hiking, kayaking in the world. You can fish for striped bass, blue fish, fluke, black sea bass, flounder and more.stripers, blue fish, etc. You can expect to eat fish every day caught from the sea.

Water Access

Enjoy direct access to the Connecticut River, with easy boating access to Long Island Sound.

Please note: Guests must provide their own kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, boats, life jackets, and any other watercraft or safety equipment. Use of the dock, waterfront, and river is entirely at the guest’s own risk. Guests are responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, boating requirements, seasonal restrictions, and safety guidelines.

For nature lovers, the surrounding estuaries and pristine shoreline offer exceptional opportunities for exploration. The area is home to one of the largest osprey populations in the United States, along with a remarkable variety of wildlife. Depending on the season, you may see piping plovers, great blue herons, sandpipers, bald eagles, ducks, swallows, owls, and many other bird species.

The river is ideal for swimming during the warmer months, while autumn brings excellent hiking and waterfowl hunting opportunities (in accordance with all applicable regulations). The area is also a paradise for triathlon training, with miles of open-water swimming, quiet country roads for cycling, and scenic routes for running.
