Buy a $125 Million Island Compound Under an Hour From New York

Built by a J.P. Morgan scion on the North Shore of Long Island, the property comes with six substantial houses and landscaping by Frederick Law Olmsted.

If the Hamptons are the vacation playground for New York’s rich and famous, the North Shore of Long Island is the backyard for the city’s almost-as-rich and vastly more discreet.

Towns less than an hour from New York, such as Glen Cove and Oyster Bay, have long been home to insular, old money communities whose heyday was more than a century ago.
