Longue Vue Island, River island in Alexandria, United States

The 1.3-acre artificial island features a 7,000-square-foot residence and a boathouse with three boat slips in the Saint Lawrence River.

Constructed in 1906 by architects Barney and Chapman, the island was created using four rock shoals enclosed by walls and filled with soil.

The property maintains its Arts and Crafts architectural style from the early 20th century, representing American residential design of that period.

Located adjacent to the St. Lawrence Seaway channel, the island includes swimming areas, docks, and water slides for recreational activities.

The island displays flags from different countries and states during major holidays, visible to passing vessels on the Saint Lawrence River.
