Connecticut Shoreline

This exceptional bucolic estate is tucked away on the Connecticut Shoreline, a few properties from where the CT River meanders along to Long Island Sound and only 105 miles from NYC. This grand Gilded Age property dates to 1870 with most architectural and hand-crafted details still in magnificent condition. This home could not be reproduced today for under $12M. The dreamy grounds flow on and on, resplendent with formal gardens, open pastures, a walking path/horse trail down to the CT River and a large stunning pool area flanked by 2 pool houses. The home is approximately 6500 square feet with 7 bedrooms and 14' ceiling heights on both the 1st & 2nd floors! There are 4 levels; it is fully finished on 3 floors above grade and partially finished on the 4th level below grade. The wrap-around loggia (covered porch) is an enchanting place to dine al fresco, curl up with a book, take in the tranquil scenery or entertain up to 100 guests, "en plein air!" This home has been featured in movies. This is a unique offer that will likely catch the eye of discerning fans of the oh-so-romantic Gilded Age of Architecture, typically found among the estates along Bellevue Avenue in Newport. It may also be appealing to those seeking a very private place for events. This is a discrete opportunity, not a public listing, therefore photos, address and appointments are only available with pre-approval from the Listing Agent Lisa Jones.
