Welcome to Stonecliff. Intentionally restored in late 2023, your like-new construction complemented by stone work dating from the 1880s. Nestled in over a thousand acres of state land, less than 50 miles from New York City and a short drive to quintessential downtown Ridgefield, this is coveted. Gather in your new classic Georgian-style English kitchen, replete with imported brass finishes and master soapstone island. Relish a winter’s snow with the open hearth roaring. Vaulted ceilings and French doors open to the bluestone patio on a warm summer’s evening. Updates included but not limited to: cedar wood roof with copper flashing complemented by copper gutters, brand new eat-in chef’s kitchen, new & refinished hardwood floors throughout, deliberately designed Georgian-style bathrooms with elevated handmade brass & copper fixtures and dolomite tile. Property is articulated by over a half mile of fieldstone walls and includes a 5-stall horse barn with massive hay loft & arena begging for your equestrian dream or your new woodworking hobby and annual family Turkey Bowl. Options are endless with accessory yoga/studio/office space & adjacent woodshed. Direct access from property to miles of the best hiking and mountain biking in Connecticut. Apple trees, blueberry patch and terraced gardens. Five minute drive to Vail Farm, Whole Foods, and some of the best schools in the country. This is your private weekend escape from the city or your new family compound. Welcome to Stonecliff!
