It's being auctioned off in June

Here's an incredibly rare opportunity. This 45 acre Hudson River island in Gansevoort is being sold at auction and could be yours. Known as Thompson Island, it was vacant until George Story and his wife Sarah bought the land in 1995. They built a beautiful stone house, horse barn and razed acres and acres of pasture. 

In addition to the stunning landscape, you'll have your own private ferry to take you to and from the island. 

Want to own it? Thompson Island is scheduled to be auctioned on June 28th and will go to the highest bidder.
