A timeless aesthetic and a sensibility respecting nature have resulted in an eminently livable, grand and gracious waterfront country house overlooking spectacular views of Hamburg Cove in sylvan Lyme, Connecticut. The skillful fusion of top quality materials and distinctive details of this offering are without parallel. Designed by the architectural firm Di Biase Filkoff whose guiding philosophy is effortless elegance, built by renowned housewright Skip Broom and landscaped with specimen trees by Peter Cummin and Christopher Thorp, this secluded, gated estate on more than twelve park-like, manicured acres is perfect for those seeking privacy and relaxation while immersed in nature. Boaters will especially appreciate a dock that can accommodate a 70' vessel (depth of six feet at low tide). Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the heated saltwater pool and pool house plus the 350 feet of water frontage and private beach. Guests will be charmed by the separate 1100 s.f. guest house. The owners will luxuriate in the seamless flow of the handsome, spacious, high-ceilinged, light-filled rooms and of course the absolute privacy this exceptional property provides. This listing includes an adjacent 3.2 acre parcel known as 105 Elys Ferry Rd, Vol.167, P. 158, Map 16, Lot 16. This lot currently supports one additional outbuilding - a 14x18 one story boathouse (new in 2022) and dock. Assessment and taxes shown reflect both 105 & 109. All furnishings, excluding artwork which does not convey, are available as a separate transaction. Hamburg Cove is a well protected harbor that's considered a great place to shelter from nor'easters. The cove is surrounded by wooded hills that protect it from wind and waves. Lyme is practically equidistant between Boston and New York with easy access to train stations connecting both cities. There are also several nearby airports.
