Home to the same family for generations, this is the largest private island ever to be offered for sale on the East Coast.

A 3-bedroom stone house, 19th century Farmhouse, Seaside Bungalow & a charming Beach Cottage share the setting with a sandy beach & rare deep-water dock. The compound's world-class equestrian facility is equally impressive, & includes a beautiful 18-stall granite stable, indoor & outdoor rings, polo field, paddocks & riding trails. Exceptional on every level, there's no doubt that Great Island represents one of the nation's most extraordinary offerings.
