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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
