Copps Island, the southernmost of the Norwalk Islands chain, has been listed for sale at $2.5 million.
The 5.76-acre island is home to a 2,624-square-foot residence built in 1960 that includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The island is accessible by a boat that sails from East Norwalk”™s Cove Marina. Sotheby”™s International Realty, the property”™s listing agent, is conducting virtual tours of the residence.
The island was named for John Copps, a Colonial-era surveyor and medical practitioner. In the 19th century, its coastal rocks were gathered for use in creating some of New York City”™s cobblestone streets. The privately owned island has never been accessible to the general public, although boating tours through the Norwalk Islands have paused offshore to view the island’s ecosystem.
