The 7.65-acre private island near Branford comprises a 1902 Tudor-style mansion, guest house, tennis court, and swimming pool.
This Tranquil Estate in Santa Barbara’s Hope Ranch Can Be Yours for $13 Million’s coast has only traded hands a few times since it was first inhabited in 1900—and now it’s ready for a new chapter. Known as Rogers Island, the 7.65-acre stone outcropping is situated just off the coast of Branford, Connecticut. It’s part of the Thimble Islands—an archipelago of around 365 small islands in the Long Island Sound, of which 23 are inhabited. Rogers Island has a particularly long-standing history.
Outdoor spaces include covered patios and dining areas, as well as a resort-like pool with plenty of stone terracing. Ancillary structures include a pool house and a dedicated artist’s studio. And, just a short stroll from the pool, an airy gazebo is perched directly on the rocks above the water. with a basketball hoop, a koi pond, and serene formal gardens. There is also a Jack Nicklaus-designed putting green, a greenhouse, two docks, three private beaches, and dedicated staff quarters.
The wooded island, the ultimate trophy property for those who love to entertain loads of guests or simply enjoy a tranquil, nature-filled escape, is listed with Jennifer Leahy of Douglas Elliman, who is no stranger to selling within the Thimble Islands. Leahy is also representing several less expensive islands that are for sale, including Jepson Island for $1.5 million, Burr Island for $1.3 million, and Belden Island for $2.75 million.
