Looking for a getaway? Dreaming of a less complicated life? With acreage in two pastoral Connecticut towns, Lyme and East Haddam, 66 Hedland Road stands equidistant between Boston and New York City, easily accessible by car or train. Not so close to the hustle, the bustle and the stress of city life ... and yet not so far away. The 16-acre property is a mix of gently sloping woodland rising above long, grassy meadows and surrounded by hundreds of feet of custom-fit stone walls. There are four structures in all: handsome 8-door residence, barn, the Sugar Shack studio, and the charming little hobbit-style potting shed -workshop. This country residence was lovingly re-invented and expanded over 27 years of working weekend visits by the owners, a highly regarded Manhattan architect and his wife. Attention to detail is extraordinary, including custom cabinetry, mill work and joinery by a local master craftsman. Walls and windows of insulated glass combine to bring the tranquility of the outdoors indoors. A full-house generator stands by, ready to return the property to full operation at a moment's notice in the event of a power outage. A security system provides peace of mind at all times, regardless of where you are. So lock it and leave it if you must, but come back soon!
