Welcome to 290 Sasco Hill Road-an extraordinary opportunity to own one of the most prestigious addresses in Fairfield County. Set on 1.75 beautifully landscaped acres atop iconic Sasco Hill, this 8,083 square foot estate offers sweeping views of Southport Harbor and the rolling greens of the Country Club of Fairfield's renowned golf course. A rare combination of water views and shared-private dock access make this home a standout in one of the most coveted enclaves on the Connecticut coast.

The home blends timeless architecture with generous proportions, ideal for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Inside, elegant formal spaces flow effortlessly into sunlit casual rooms, all oriented to capture breathtaking views. A gracious primary suite with a private terrace offers a front-row seat to nature's show, while multiple guest bedrooms provide comfort and privacy for family and friends. Sasco Hill is known for its grand estates, commanding water views, and close proximity to Southport Village, beaches, and commuter train service to NYC. 290 Sasco Hill Road is an exceptional offering in a location where few homes change hands and even fewer offer such an unparalleled vantage point. Enjoy the best of waterfront living, New England charm, and timeless luxury-right here on Sasco Hill.
These days do you find yourself yearning for that sort of welcoming house...where the art of living graciously is practiced,where rooms can be arranged for inviting one, two or four people as comfortably as fifty? Built in that era of elegance along the waterfront, the 1920's, this home has all you could want for the needs of the 2020's: places for multi-generational living, shelter in place practicality, areas for working at home or virtual learning. Meaning there are rooms where one can be accessible, yet professional; where a quiet corner can easily be created. There is a Library off the main foyer, 2 master bedroom suites, an in law/au pair apartment with separate entrance should you need, but also accessible by the nearby elevator. In addition, a catering kitchen is behind the primary kitchen for the days when entertaining is possible once again, an expansive stone terrace accessed by French Doors from the Foyer, Dining Room, Kitchen and the lovely Palladian windowed Sun Room (off the Living Room) with stunning views of Southport Harbor and Long Island Sound. Can you imagine all the doors flung open, music playing, fans whirring overhead and laughter as the stars and lights begin to twinkle after watching the stunning sunsets from this vantage point. Half the guests have already ventured down the winding stone steps to the pool. Some are on their way to your dock, cocktails in hand, for an evening jaunt on the boat...... (CONTINUED ON ADDENDUM BELOW)
.....The mannered soiree is up to you, but the home was built, renovated and adapted over the years (most recently by Jack Franzen Architects and Tallman Builders) to be that kind of welcoming house. So much design is in the details. Please view the floor plans in the Attachments. You'll be captivated by the light and the views. Virtual Tour available by advance notice and appointment.
