For the first time in almost a century of private ownership, a nearly 25-acre property on Coecles Harbor in Shelter Island is now available.
The compound has been owned by the Passionist order of priests since 1911, and the grounds have been home to St. Gabriel's Spiritual Center for Youth since the 1960s.
The Passionists decided to leave the property since they no longer have the personnel to operate the center and need to sell the land to help pay for health care for their aging members, a representative told Newsday last year.
The 24.8-acre property is listed with Chris Burnside of Brown Harrs Stevens for $19.9 million. There are 10 buildings, including a 29-room guesthouse, a long boat dock, a pool and a chapel. The property also has 1,500 feet of beach frontage, tennis and basketball courts. If you don’t need quite that much room, but still want a spectacular Shelter Island hideaway, a 7,500-square-foot Mediterranean-style home with six bedrooms and 7½ an baths on 3.6 acres has also come on the market.Amenities include guest quarters, elevator, a courtyard with fountains, a roof garden and a fresh water pond stocked with fresh water bass.
There’s also a tennis court with a pavilion, a croquet court and a dock on Shelter Island sound. It's all for $4.9 million, listed with Seth Madore of The Corcoran Group.
