What's special
Nestled between the Lower Connecticut River and Long Island Sound and surrounded by protected open space, this exceptional estate offers a rare blend of privacy, beauty, and effortless luxury. Designed as an all-inclusive compound, the property features five distinctive structures seamlessly integrated into enchanting gardens and natural surroundings. At its center, a beautifully preserved c.1787 Cape is rich with historic character, original fireplaces, and timeless New England charm. A dramatic post-and-beam barn with soaring interiors and a striking glass facade provides an unforgettable setting for entertaining. Two charming guest cottages offer private accommodations for family and friends. The modern Pool House, reimagined in 2017, features a full kitchen, double-height ceilings, great room, gym, and seamless connection to the private Gunite pool, firepit, and outdoor dining areas. The glass-enclosed Greenhouse Pavilion, surrounded by lush foliage and soft lighting, creates a magical setting for gatherings, celebrations, or quiet retreats. Meandering streams, a private pond, specimen plantings, and thoughtfully curated gardens create a storybook landscape with remarkably low-maintenance living.
