Welcome to a sanctuary just minutes from Southbury center. This tranquil property provides the feel of a resort-style retreat with horse stable, paddock, access to hiking trails, ponds, and golf courses. Set on cul-de-sac, away from main roads with almost 4 acres of lush woodlands, the privacy offered is second to none. The tree-lined driveway opens up to a flat, sunny yard revealing the contemporary home. The house, built into a hill, is a combination of ivy, stone, and wood. Entering the front door, you are greeted by a sun-filled foyer, a tucked-away office to the right, and a living room with an adjacent sunroom for year-round enjoyment (second office space) to the left. A few steps bring you to an updated kitchen, a new family area with heated floors overlooking the landscaped backyard, and a generously sized dining room for joyous gatherings. Other features include a sauna, gym, and a guest bedroom on the main level with full bath perfect for guests. The crown jewel of the home is the property itself: 3.7 acres of park-like property with lush gardens, flowerbeds, and multiple seating areas. A stroll along shrubs and stonewalls leads to a stable with paddock. Space for three horses, a tack room, electric and water supplies are offered. This set-up offers the potential to be converted into a pool with amenities. Take your horses on a ride, go for a nice walk to the adjacent 100-acre preserve or book a tee-time at one the three surrounding golf courses. Enjoy your retreat.
