Property Description
Welcome to Strong Island, a waterfront retreat on Highland Lake. The clean waters of Highland Lake in the town of Winchester in Litchfield County surround this 1.6 acres island. History abounds for this property as the original house dates back to 1890. There were significant alterations made in 1920 that added several rooms, a boat house, a barn and porch. Babe Ruth made several trips to Strong Island for his weekends and vacations away from NYC. Strong Island is one of the largest islands on Highland Lake and has the best views. The position of this island give it the longest view of the lake on a North view and also on an Easterly view. The position of the main house on the island, the various docks, piers and out buildings make this property unable to be duplicated today. Strong Island is a trophy property that needs some polishing, but incredible in so many ways.
