Commandingly sited above the Aspetuck River, this exceptional 9,600+ sq ft cut stone manor offers sweeping views of a 40 acre horse farm and an estate setting rarely available. A long, stately driveway sets a grand first impression, opening to a large courtyard framed by manicured boxwoods. As you enter the home, a grand hall and great room with a dramatic view of the outdoor waterfall establishes the scale and craftsmanship found throughout. The custom kitchen blends beauty and function with a SubZero armoire style refrigerator and freezer, double Viking gas range, and dual Fisher & Paykel dishwashers. A separate full caterer's kitchen-with additional refrigeration, dishwasher, and oven-supports effortless entertaining. Sun filled formal rooms, a richly detailed library, and a stunning river view sunroom showcase the home's craftsmanship. Wide plank cherry floors, solid cherry doors, and a custom wet bar with soapstone counters, built-in entertainment center, and tin ceiling add warmth and character. An elevator services all three levels. Six fireplaces, a walk-in wine room, and a media room with stadium seating elevate the lifestyle experience. A private caretaker/au pair apartment with its own entrance provides flexibility. With 6 garages, expansive lawns, and complete privacy-yet only 65 miles from NYC-this residence delivers an extraordinary blend of beauty and serenity.
