148 Governors Island Road

About this home

A point property on Governors Island with a hundred and forty feet of frontage, water on two sides and the only private launch ramp on this stretch of shoreline.

Governors Island is a peninsula off the Mendota north shore, and point lots on it come up perhaps twice a decade. This one has water on the north and east, a hundred and forty feet of combined frontage and an elevation that keeps the main floor well above any high-water year on record.

The house was built in 2011 to take advantage of that geometry. The great room has glass on two sides, the primary suite is on the water corner, and there are two more en-suite bedrooms upstairs plus a guest wing over the garage with its own entrance.

A private concrete launch ramp runs down the east side, which means you can put a boat in without trailering to a public launch on a July Saturday. The pier system is permanent crib with a removable outer run.
