Fairfield County Estate

Welcome to this 7.4-acre sanctuary for you and your family, located in the peaceful heart of Connecticut, only 72 miles from Manhattan. At the estate you have all the amenities of a fine resort and the areas’ lush natural surroundings offer cycling, hiking and horseback riding trails, hunting, boating and fishing outside your back door.  Watch the spectacular autumn leaf show in forested hills and river valleys; explore the area’s charming Colonial villages and historic sites. For the ultimate big-city experience, hop a train from nearby Danbury to New York’s Grand Central Station. This getaway property keeps you in the heart of it all while offering exceptional privacy and access to sporting activities. A short walk down the street is Upper Paugussett State Forest and Lake Lillinonah. This 1900 acre lake is home to bald eagles and hosts power boating, water skiing, kayaking, world class fishing and world championship junior crew training. Adjacent to the boat ramp is state forest with miles of equestrian and mountain biking trails. In the winter the trails continue to be lovely for hiking, cross country skiing and snow-shoeing.
 

Whatever the weather outside, you will always enjoy the heated, ozone-purified water of your indoor pool, which is fed by waterfalls constructed from stone reclaimed from the property.  The pool room is enclosed with walls of double glass windows and French doors that bring the outdoors in. After a long day of recreation you can retreat upstairs to your deluxe master suite with heated floors, gas fireplace and a private balcony. The master bath is a true spa experience with an effervescing tub that’s filled from overhead, plus a walk-in shower with 5 shower heads, 2 handhelds and 3 body wash side jets. The gourmet kitchen invites you to spend many pleasurable hours creating culinary masterpieces, surrounded by Jerusalem marble, mahogany and granite finishes. In addition to the state-of-the-art Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, there’s also a fully functional antique wood-burning stove to keep the kitchen toasty warm on the coldest of days. Your horses’ comfort is always a top priority. The backyard equestrian complex encompasses a 3-stall barn with tack room, hay storage, run-in shed, 4 paddocks and a large 70’ x 160’ riding arena.  If horses aren’t of interest to you, the area might be converted to a tennis court or other sporting field. Come and explore this beautiful bucolic country home - this estate is a one of kind and has something for everyone!
