Entire Island With Mansion Built By J.P. Morgan Hits Market For $125M

Do you have a desire to live like Jay Gatsby and happen to have an extra $125 million lying around? A historical Glen Cove mansion, and the entire 85-acre private island it sits on, just hit the market.

The main house, which was built in 1919 by J.P. Morgan, has a dining room that seats 100, a ladies parlor, nine bedrooms, a sitting room and a servants’ quarters, according to Bloomberg.

The Sotheby’s International Realty listing says Dosoris Island was granted by King George I and purchased by Peter Caverly in 1721 for two hundred pounds. The island includes 46 acres of land comprised of roads and sandy beach, six houses, a 23-acre pond, a 250-foot dock to park yachts and seaplanes and two helicopter spots.

The island “offers spectacular and unparalleled views over the Long Island Sound to the Manhattan skyline, Connecticut and Westchester,” the listing says. It is conveniently less than 1 hour to New York City by car and less than 30 minutes by air or sea.

Dosoris Island has only been on the market three times in its 100-year history, Bloomberg reports. Its last buyer was socialite and real estate broker Margo Walker, who purchased the island in 1993, The Real Deal says.
