Calf Pasture Island #

Opportunities like this are rare. Calf Pasture Island is one of just 10 private islands off the coast of Norwalk, offering a uniquely private coastal setting and a blank canvas for imagination. Properties like this remain in the same hands for many decades and do not come up for sale often. Located approximately a half mile offshore, it is among the closest islands to the mainland and takes its name from the cattle once kept there. The island is easily accessible from Norwalk Harbor and the Saugatuck River, making it a convenient yet distinctly separate retreat. A small A-frame structure currently sits on the island, and future development options may be explored. Shaped by retreating glaciers more than 17,000 years ago, the Norwalk Islands form a rare archipelago scattered across Long Island Sound. For generations, they have attracted boaters, kayakers, and those drawn to life just beyond the shoreline. Rich in maritime history and surrounded by protected waters, portions of the island chain fall within the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, helping preserve the natural beauty, wildlife, and sense of escape that define this remarkable setting. A place for those who appreciate that true privacy often lies just beyond easy reach.
