Welcome to Roger's Island.

Part of the Thimble Islands archipelago off Connecticut's southeastern shore, Roger's Island is one of the eight islands that have been renovated over the years, according to the New York Post.

Bridgewater Associates executive Greg Jensen recently listed his private Branford island for a hefty $35 million earlier this year. 

The 120-year-old Tudor-style home is accessible only by boat, but once you're there, you'll won't find many reasons to leave.

The 8,700-square-foot recently renovated mansion sits on 7.65 acres. The seller wants potential buyers to imagine themselves lounging poolside, surrounded by amenities and the Long Island Sound.

Relax in the elegant pool house, challenge friends on the tennis court, or stroll through the formal gardens, winding trails, and serene koi pond. With three private beaches, two docks, a putting green, an artist's studio, staff quarters, and a greenhouse, this estate offers a curated vision of refined living.

The home also features a gazebo, a koi pond, and panoramic views of the Sound from nearly every vantage point.

Boasting 10 bedrooms and eight bathrooms, the property includes dual septic systems and is powered by electricity from the mainland. Additionally, two large generators provide backup power during outages.
