The first Becket Hill Estate property to convey in nearly 90 years! Lyme Academy artist Louis Paul Dessar discovered this idyllic setting in 1900 and promptly sold his property in France to relocate here, raising oxen and sheep used as subjects in his paintings. More than a century later, the estate privacy and retreat character are not lost in this 7+ acre Tuscan Contemporary property, divided off the original estate. The open plan and sun filled rooms offer a Zen quality. Good bones and great layout provide a foundation for a phenomenal first or weekend home. The first floor offers a great room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen with fireplace, sunroom and master suite with third fireplace. Upstairs find three spacious bedrooms, a full bath and an unfinished room over the garage. The back of the home offers sweeping decks with a gorgeous view of Rogers Lake. The land is rolling, offering pleasant walks and sweet sounds of nature. It's very close to the lakes, Nehantic State Forest and the Becket Hill State Park Reserve-offering hundreds of acres and miles of trails to explore. This idyllic haven is less than 2 hours to NYC/Boston and 3 miles north of I-95. Find your peace at Becket Hill.
