134 Hanover Rd, Newtown, CT 06470

134 Hanover is a rare find, an unspoiled vintage home nestled on 40 acres of private forest, less than 1 ½ hours from midtown Manhattan! This home is a 1932 Sears Roebuck kit house, virtually unchanged since it was built as a camp for summering almost 90 years ago. Apart from recent updates to the mechanical systems, the structure retains the look and feel of a time gone by – quirky rooms, hardwood floors, a wood stove, a broad front porch, and furnishings that mirror it all. The opportunities for quiet, outdoor activities, exploring abound. If you are a hiker, fisherman or hunter you will have 10 acres to call your own, with an additional 700 acres bordering Paugusset State Park. You are also 2 minutes from Lake Lillanoah’s Newtown boat ramp. You are only minutes from business centers in Newtown, Brookfield, Danbury and Southbury.

Never before on the market, this special property offers 40 acres that backs up to Paugussett State Forest. You will find mature white oak trees, meadows, rivers and forest here. The property includes a Sears & Roebuck Kit home that was built in the mid 30's, along with two outbuildings set beautifully on the knoll.
