Everything stays on the other side.



That is what people here say about the footbridge. You cross it, and whatever you were carrying does not come with you. Compo Mill Cove is a gated peninsula of nineteen homes on Long Island Sound, and no car has come out here since 1903. The tide is the loudest thing you hear most mornings.



This is the one with the water in every room. 5,567 SF, Brooke Girty-designed shingle style, 2008. Century-old reclaimed French oak, a three-story Nautilus stair, five fireplaces, Viking and SubZero kitchen, primary suite with balcony over the water. Screened porch, deck, hot tub, private sandy beach with kayak launch, gated access to Sherwood Island State Park.

Nineteen homes. There will not be a twentieth.

Your car is 150 feet away. You will not want it.
