The island is in size. It includes more than of old growth forest and another 1,000 acres of meadows. Many of the buildings date back to the 17th century. In 1989, the island was said to be worth $125 million.〔(Gardiners Island: What Next? )〕
The island has the largest stand of white oak in the American Northeast. Other trees include swamp maple, wild cherry and birch. The island is home to New York state's largest colony of ospreys, and is one of the few locations in the world where they build their nests on the ground, as there are no natural predators to the osprey on the island.
Its structures include the oldest surviving wood-frame structure in New York state, a carpenter's shed built there in 1639, as well as a private airstrip on the south side of the island.
