The Tavern Island is a three-and-a-half acre land mass off the coast of Connecticut that offers both luxury and privacy.  It is not a resort or rental property, however, it is up for sale.

The island has a mansion, caretaker’s cottage, boat house, game room, workshop, and more on its 3.5 acres. The six-bedroom Tudor mansion is just one of the many highlights of the island that also includes a pool, beach houses, a tea house, dock, and a garage.

“Rich in history, legend, and lore, this utterly unique property was first inhabited by European settlers in 1651,” a spokesperson for Sotheby’s (the auction house selling the property) said. “It witnessed the British invasion of Norwalk in the Revolutionary War, and housed Lillian Hellman in 1938 as she finished her classic ‘The Little Foxes.’ Historically significant, conveniently located within one hour of Mid-Town New York, serenely removed from the every-day yet entirely accessible, this is one residential offering that actually lives up to the designation ‘unique’.”

The island was built around 1900 and has played host to the likes of Marilyn Monroe. It has been off the market for more than thirty years. The asking price is $11 million.
