In Connecticut’s supply-constrained luxury market, a home auction offers buyers access to distinctive properties that might not otherwise come to market. Take, for example, this coveted Branford estate, which boasts a waterfront locale overlooking Long Island Sound and the Thimble Islands.
Located in the town’s tony Pine Orchard community, 60 Island View Avenue comes to sale through a timed auction beginning October 1, 2026, at 10am. Bidding will open at $2.1 million and will conclude on October 8 at 4pm. The sale is subject to seller confirmation.
What’s generating all the buzz? The estate is wrapped in glass to take in the horizon from every angle. A custom kitchen features Craft-Maid cabinetry, a Majestic natural gas range and appliances from Sub-Zero and Miele. Multiple wet bars and a butler’s pantry add to the possibilities for entertaining.
Upstairs, the waterfront primary room opens to an ensuite bathroom with heated marble floors and a custom walk-in closet. Secondary bathrooms and carpeting could use some updating, but the bones, location and views make it worth any extra TLC. “Set within the coveted Pine Orchard community, the property offers a rare opportunity to experience sophisticated coastal living, exceptional privacy and effortless entertaining,” confirms Kelley, CAI, CEO of Tranzon Auction Properties. Just steps from the members-only Pine Orchard Yacht and Country Club, residents can take advantage of neighboring golf, boating, tennis and waterfront dining.
The property is offered by Tranzon Auction Properties, in cooperation with Greg Robbins and Rhonda Young of Houlihan Lawrence.
