About this home
Set within Compo Mill Cove, a rare private association where homes are accessed only by footbridge and no cars are permitted, this Brooke Girty-designed shingle-style residence offers 5,567 SF of true coastal sanctuary. The footbridge approach immediately separates the home from daily life, delivering a level of seclusion few coastal properties can match. Interiors are warm, considered, and serene: reclaimed French oak floors, a sculptural three-story spiral staircase, and walls of windows framing sweeping Long Island Sound views. The screened porch invites long mornings; the hot tub, slow evenings; the private beach with kayak launch, full days spent entirely on the water. Direct gated access to Sherwood Island State Park extends the sense of refuge across acres of protected shoreline, woodland, and walking trails. Just over an hour from NYC, yet feels worlds removed. A home defined by privacy, quiet, and escape rather than spectacle - an everyday retreat in every season.
