    What's special

    Introducing Sandy Brook Cottage. Perched gently near the banks of the meandering Sandy Brook, this c.1800 home exudes quiet charm and understated elegance. Set on over 3 picturesque acres in the hidden gem of Colebrook. It is a true country escape. One that offers privacy, character, and an effortless connection to nature. Winding stone walls trace the contours of the rolling landscape, creating a setting that feels both cultivated and wild. The main residence is joined by a 3 car garage with an in-law suite above, along with a classic barn, a woodshed, and even an original icehouse, evoking a sense of New England's storied past. Inside welcomes you with warmth and authenticity. The dining room and center hall staircase greet you upon entry, setting the tone for a home rich in detail. To the right, a cozy living room is anchored by the original river rock fireplace. An enchanting nod to the home's heritage. Beyond that, a sunroom with walls of glass and a wood-burning stove draws in the natural beauty just outside, creating a serene space for reading, gathering, or simply watching the seasons shift. Two flexible rooms on the main level, ideal as a home office or den, includes an attached half bath, while the eat-in kitchen offers the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee to the sound of the brook just beyond the window. A dedicated laundry and utility room sits conveniently just off the kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find 4 bedrooms and a full bath, all with wood floors and a graceful, time-worn elegance. Each space feels rooted in history, yet ready to be shaped by a new chapter. Step outside to a custom stone patio with a built-in fireplace. The perfect setting for crisp autumn evenings under the stars or lazy summer afternoons by the brook. The detached in-law apartment offers 1 bed, 1 full bath, kitchen and additional living space. It's easy to imagine life unfolding here, slowly and beautifully. Tucked between the cultural richness of the Berkshires and the quiet hum of Litchfield County's beloved towns, Colebrook remains one of the region's best-kept secrets. With its scenic reservoirs, abundant hiking trails, and deep-rooted charm, the town offers the perfect balance of tranquility and inspiration.
