Privacy? Assured...purchasing a luxury home on what feels like your own state park, forever protected by the lush and verdant 38+ areas of trails, woods, streams, and rock walls, is truly purchasing a lifestyle and not just a home. The moment you drive down the private road down into the valley of the forest reserve you are in an acoustic shadow...you won't hear a single automobile. Zero noise pollution. It’s an outdoors person’s paradise: Hike, hunt, create your own zip lines, ride your snowmobiles in winter, bikes or quads, observe nature…all on your own property! The main house offers gleaming hardwood floors, a spacious chef’s eat-in-kitchen with center island with brand new cooktop and updated appliances, a formal dining room replete with crown molding, chair rail and sliders leading to a tranquil screened porch with blue stone flooring. A grand family room with vaulted 2 story ceiling offers exposed beams and 6 skylights that lets the light in and and to take in the occasional thunderstorm, passing clouds, or the night sky. There’s in-wall surround sound system allowing you a theatre experience with sound that surrounds and sub-woofers that can rattle the windows. The soap-stone wood burning stove in the vaulted room offers a unique double- combustion chamber protects the environment. One can enjoy traditional fires in the fireplace found in the huge formal living room which is distinguished with built-in bookcases, hutch, cabinets and glass light French doors.
The year round sun room which brings the outside in, is clad in warm solid wood vertical paneling holds 3 large skylights in it’s vaulted ceiling, is heated and cooled, and provides the convenience of a wet bar. One can access the large Trex® deck overlooking the home’s verdant surroundings. In addition to the house which offers plenty...there is a large 36 x 48 Steel Barn with an indoor climbing wall, full gym (All that is there can be purchased) , basketball hoop, rope climb, with plenty of room to do even more…like indoor driving range. Perhaps specialty cars are your thing? Perfect. Existing piping allows for professional compressor and all your pneumatic tools. It’s the perfect art studio for the sculptor or artist who loves to work large format. Your equestrian itch can be scratched here as well as it can be the perfect barn for your ponies as there is plenty of property and trails to ride on the property and the abutting 400 acre state forest providing privacy and natural beauty for still more. The landscaped yard is just 2 acres and is a snap to maintain. You’d think a location for such a lifestyle would “in the sticks” but you’ll be glad to know you’re only minutes to town, the shoreline, and an easy commute to New Haven, Hartford & Providence. Newer mechanicals, an architectural roof, and the 576 square feet of nicely finished lower level filled everything from pool table to foosball (Also available to purchase) might just be the cherry atop this sundae. While the photos here may speak a thousand words…a personal visit will most-likely leave you speechless.
