About This Home
RARELY AVAILABLE PRIVATE ISLAND ON BASHAN LAKE! Welcome to one of Connecticut's most extraordinary waterfront opportunities. Tucked away on a pristine private island in the heart of crystal-clear Bashan Lake, this remarkable seasonal retreat offers more than 700 feet of sandy waterfront, spectacular panoramic views, and the kind of privacy that's nearly impossible to find. Cherished by the same family for over 100 years, this beloved island has been the backdrop for generations of unforgettable summers. Now, for the first time in a century, it's your turn to write the next chapter. Known as one of Connecticut's cleanest lakes, Bashan Lake is a 273-acre, spring-fed, deep-water gem treasured for its exceptional water quality and endless recreation. Spend your days boating, water skiing, wake boarding, jet skiing, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, fishing, or simply floating in the clear water. The lake is stocked with trout for those who enjoy casting a line. Wake up to shimmering water in every direction and enjoy breathtaking lake views from two private docks, patios, and a deck. The sandy swimming areas around your shoreline are perfect for all ages. Whether you're soaking up sunshine, relaxing in the shade beneath the trees, or watching unforgettable sunsets paint the sky, every day feels like vacation. This island retreat offers exceptional privacy without sacrificing convenience. Better yet, it is individually deeded with no homeowners association.
