Hen Island in Rye, NY – $499K for a Piece of Paradise*

With our various reporting on Hen Island, you may still be thinking – even with no running water, no electric, no sewage, rampant mosquitoes, possible septic issues – I want part of the Rye island life. You can have it – perhaps the best spot on Hen Island – for a $499,000 check made out to Helen Tierney.

Tierney has her home on Hen Island’s southern-most point currently for sale. The deck on 29 Kuder Island has a stunning view south of the Long Island Sound, the New York City skyline and the Throgs Neck and Whitestone bridges.

For $499,000 clams you get four rooms including two bedrooms, one bathroom and an eat-in-kitchen. The home, built in 1952 has an expansive outside deck. The annual $8,209 tax bill entitles you to send your children to the Rye Neck schools. View MyRye.com’s photo album of 29 Kuder Island.

*Boat not included. Neither is running water, electricity, sewage service or mosquito repellent.
