This private oasis has been a holiday and weekend retreat for the same family since 1969. Ideally located less than 90 minutes from Manhattan and only 45 minutes from Hartford. The grounds consist of three separate buildings: The main house, described in the first comment section, was built in 1797 and - though updated over the years - maintains its historic charm. The sunroom has two doors that lead to an expansive terrace with steps leading down to the level side yard and gunite pool and connects to the guest or in-law cottage. The cottage is elaborately designed using gorgeous woodwork with a floor plan for entertaining. It has a main room with steps down into a gathering space with a built-in bar and windows overlooking the property and pool. Off the main room is a full kitchen, laundry, small full bath and a large sunroom. Up the beautiful staircase is a loft area and doorway to the cottage bedroom with convenient built-ins. A little further up the circular driveway past the cottage is the barn. The main level part of the barn was renovated in 1996 in the style of an Adirondack cabin. Once again gorgeous natural wood is a focal point, but this guest house has an open floor plan with a cathedral ceiling and the two-bedroom loft shares a walkway that overlooks the main living space. The kitchen, full bath and laundry are on the main level and offer your guests every convenience. Below the main level is a converted garage space that once acted as paddocks for two horses and can be easily reverted if desired. The property consists of 6.25 acres of beautiful yard and gardens. The apple orchard offers a private gated off area to relax and enjoy the serenity. Beyond the property is another 5 acres of unused land that ensures the privacy for this home remains in tact. This is retreat living at its best with an emphasis on entertaining. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy being together at the pool and on the veranda, but separate quarters gives everyone their own space. Located in Newtown, CT the home is close to beaches, hiking, boating, horse trails, bike trails, skiing, shopping, Zagat rated restaurants, bars, theaters, antiquing, and so much more! Newtown schools are exceptional as are the town amenities - playgrounds, a skate park, a youth center, and a very strong community. This is a very special property for a very special buyer!
