About This Home
Opportunities like this are exceedingly rare. Betts Island is one of just 10 private islands off the coast of Norwalk, offering a uniquely private coastal setting and a canvas for imagination. Located approximately one mile offshore, the island is distinguished by its natural land bridge, which connects its two halves and creates a protected cove long favored by boaters. A small bungalow currently sits on the island, and future development options may be explored. Shaped by retreating glaciers more than 17,000 years ago, the Norwalk Islands form a remarkable archipelago scattered across Long Island Sound. For generations, they have attracted boaters, kayakers, and those drawn to a quieter, more adventurous relationship with the coast. Rich in maritime history and surrounded by protected waters, portions of the island chain are preserved within the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, helping maintain the natural beauty, wildlife, and sense of escape that define this rare environment. A setting for those who appreciate that true privacy often lies just beyond easy reach. Also for sale is Calf Pasture Island which is MLS #24147619.
