41 Watrous Point Rd, Old Saybrook, CT 06475

Discover one of the most coveted vantage points on the lower Connecticut River-a mid-century modern sanctuary perched on a private 2.7-acre waterfront peninsula where land, river, and sky converge in perfect harmony. With an extraordinary 875 feet of water frontage embracing both the Connecticut River and the pristine Turtle Creek nature preserve, this property is a haven for bird enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike. The dual shoreline offers the river side with tidal rhythms and sweeping panoramas stretching from Essex Harbor north to Old Lyme across the water, then south toward Long Island Sound. The marsh side along Turtle Creek hums with avian life-majestic Bald Eagles perch in the trees while Herons, Egrets, Osprey, and migrating songbirds create a symphony that changes with the seasons. Two private docks provide endless boating possibilities: launch from the deep-water river dock for open-water adventure, or drift into the tranquil creek for kayaking and wildlife observation. Inside, 5,536 square feet of light-drenched living space unfolds with effortless grace. The architecture celebrates both gathering and solitude-a chef's kitchen designed for culinary artistry flows seamlessly to indoor and outdoor dining areas, while five fireplaces anchor intimate retreats throughout.

Two dedicated offices offer inspiring workspaces, and the primary suite delivers ultimate privacy and serenity: floor-to-ceiling windows frame water views, expansive closets provide generous storage, a fireplace adds warmth for quiet nights of reading, and a spa-inspired bath invites indulgence. Five additional bedrooms and 4.1 baths ensure comfort for extended family or weekend guests. Thoughtful amenities include a three-car garage, kitchen dumbwaiter, whole-house generator, workshop space, energy-efficient thermopane windows, and radiant heated floors. A world unto itself, yet just two hours from New York City or Boston.
