    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 crystal-clear water. The lake is even 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. Whether you preserve its timeless rustic charm or create your own vision for generations to come, the possibilities are endless. Properties offering over 700 feet of waterfront on Bashan Lake are exceptionally rare and unique. Conveniently located just two hours from both New York City and Boston, you'll also enjoy easy access to the Goodspeed Opera House, Gillette Castle State Park, Devil's Hopyard State Park, championship golf courses, the Connecticut shoreline, and countless nearby attractions. Extraordinary. Private. Irreplaceable. Legacy properties like this rarely become available. If you've been waiting for something truly special, this is it. Some properties are purchased. Others become part of a family's story. This island has been doing that for over 100 years. Now it's ready for its next chapter.
