Stone Post, an unparalleled 30+ acre private enclave of conservation protected meadows, brooks and gorgeous homes, was designed and built by renowned Skip Broom, founder of HP Broom Housewright, Inc. Broom’s homes represent a blend of historical, antique materials with today’s design, building practices and materials. None more representative than ‘Sitting Pretty.’ Set on almost 5 acres, the light filled home is anchored by the Main Floor’s spectacular 40ft long Great Rooms, once an 18th Century Blacksmith Shop. The magnificent room encompasses sitting area, raised wood-burning fireplace and dining area. Adjoining the Great Room on one side is the tasteful finished Library; on the other, the Foyer and Kitchen, with built-in banquet sitting across from the wood burning fireplace. The Main Floor also includes Master and Guest/Family Bedrooms and an Office/Guest Bedroom. The Upper Floor welcomes family and guests to another of the home’s light-filled Bedrooms. A finished Lower Level offers the comforts and conveniences of a completely renovated Recreation and Laundry area. The home’s large windowed doors and windows invite direct access and breathtaking views of the intimate stone walled English garden, large deck, plantings, sweeping lawns, pastures, barn and garage, artist studio. Minutes away from Lord Creek Equestrian and Hiking Trails, Hamburg Yacht Club and CT River, I-95 and trains to NYC, Newport, Boston.

This home's estimate is 127.3% higher than the average sale price ($1.33M) of 6 comparable homes.
Vision and well-honed skills of extraordinary craftsmen have taken a C1750 New Hampshire blacksmith shop and given it new life amidst the pristine farmlands of Lyme, not far from the majestic Connecticut River. The interiors seem to own the air and sky outside. Timbers of 250 years were used to frame the very scenes that drew artists to Lyme a century ago. Planned and executed with great attention to light, the Great Room, 40 feet long, has been reconstructed in all its original glory, and the chef's kitchen with wood burning fireplace makes an ideal gathering place. Four bedroom suites, including the first floor master, are oriented to capture their own special view and light. A private garden enclosed by stone walls, open pastures and a stunning horse barn draw family and friends to the pastoral beauty of the land. With a nod to the modern and respect for the past, a very special home awaits.
