It feels like a secret-cross the footbridge and instantly exhale. Accessible only by footbridge, Compo Mill Cove is Westport's most private, car-free beachfront enclave, where the rhythm of the tide replaces the pace of everyday life and each day feels like a true escape. Designed by renowned architect Brooke Girty, this custom Nantucket-style home is a masterclass in refined coastal living and timeless craftsmanship. Inside, 5,567 square feet of curated elegance unfolds with reclaimed 100-year-old French oak floors, a sculptural three-story spiral staircase, antique-glass cabinetry, and walls of windows capturing uninterrupted views of Long Island Sound. The chef's kitchen, appointed with Sub-Zero and Viking appliances and anchored by a generous island, flows seamlessly to the screened porch and waterfront patio-ideal for barefoot dinners, sunset cocktails, and quiet mornings with coffee and salt air. The serene primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a fireplace, balcony, dual spa baths, and soaring ceilings. Throughout the home, five fireplaces, a third-floor great room with wet bar, hot tub, outdoor shower, and direct beach access create an effortless balance of luxury and ease. A professionally engineered Race Coastal bulkhead provides both protection and peace of mind. Just over an hour from Manhattan, yet a world away, this is not simply a home-it is a lifestyle. Quiet. Soulful. And unlike anything else on the Connecticut coast. Private gated
