"The Island" For the first time since 1968, this extraordinary property is on the market. Originally purchased and personally built by its current owners, this is a one-of-a-kind island retreat nestled on Pinewood Lake. Connected to the mainland by a charming private bridge, this .47 acre island is completely surrounded by water, offering panoramic lake views and unmatched serenity. It features a 2,675 sq ft split-level home ready to be reimagined or restored. Included in this rare offering is an adjoining lot on Pinewood Trail-also direct waterfront .28 acre lot, parcel #398420 with property taxes being $2,566 annually-being sold as a package deal. Together, they offer unmatched potential for those seeking a private compound, investment opportunity, or the ultimate lakeside lifestyle. Located in the coveted Pinewood Lake community, residents enjoy access to a private beach, clubhouse, and the peaceful charm of a lakefront neighborhood. This is more than just a property-it's a legacy. Scenic, tranquil, and completely private, this hidden gem is a rare chance to own a true island escape in the heart of Trumbull.
