Once upon a time, this property was the location of the Sachem's Head Hotel, however, it has now been transformed into an iconic American sea view estate. This 2-acre promontory w/sweeping water views, offers; a 7,671 square foot transitional colonial home, a re-constructed party barn/pool house/office, a meticulously manicured Gunite pool area, a natural stone entertaining patio & a 3-car garage w/one European-style open bay. The home exudes understated elegance w/9.5' ceilings, 8" wide plank wood floors, exquisite moldings & recessed art lighting. A sunny home office is followed by a decadent aubergine den w/clever pocket privacy doors. The grand salon & formal dining room have 180-degree water views & 4 sets of French doors. The eat-in kitchen has sensational views through 2 floor-to-ceiling walls of glass! Cooking in this professionally equipped kitchen is a pleasure while watching the boats go by. The butler's pantry services both the dining room & kitchen. The luxurious primary suite is made up of: the bedroom w/sitting room, a beverage service nook, a private deck overlooking the water, an enormous walk-in closet and a deluxe bathroom! Most bedrooms in this home have water views & all have their own ensuite boutique-style full bath. The Lower level has 9' ceilings, an exercise room w/parquet floors mimicking those found in great athletic venues and a large recreation room for fun and games! The home elevator services 3 floors of the home. Under 2 hrs from NYC! When it's time to frolic, you'll certainly enjoy relaxing or entertaining, by the Gunite pool, behind your manicured boxwood privacy hedges. Or gather around the fire pit on the beautiful stone patio. The1800's Barn has been revamped into a hip space with 2 huge fully retractable doors, creating an amazing water-view entertaining space, 2nd floor office, partial kitchen, full bath and cabana changing area! A big part of the magic at 161 Falcon Road, is being part of the genteel lifestyle on this 600-acre peninsula, that is the Sachem's Head Association, comprised of 115 homes. At the heart of this community is the Sachem's Head Yacht Club, the social hub of the community. Residents often opt to become members and obtain moorings for their boats in the SHYC Harbor, touted as the home port of many American great sailors! The Association offers small craft storage for kayaks, canoes and paddle boards and enjoys the beach at Bloody Cove along with tennis, paddle and pickleball. The Shoreline town of Guilford is regarded as one of the prettiest towns in Connecticut with the largest town green in the State, having a bustling artist community, great restaurants/shops and easy access from New York or Boston. * acreage includes additional raw land across the street
