This is the Grand Dam of all the properties on tWaramaug! Set high on a hill with broad southern views the lake, the property sweeps ently down to its lake front. This elegant home dates to the mid 18th century, making it the oldest house on the lake. It now has 5000 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 6 full baths, a 3 car garage with a small apartment above and a romantic 3 bedroom guest house with a field stone fireplace and lake-facing porch. The land between the house and the lake was donated by the owner to protect it and the lake views forever. The plantings and gardens are mature and there is also ample lawn in back. The lake front has room for the dock and your boats. This is a perfect family compound. An extra plus, the Hopkins Inn for dinner or drinks is just a short walk away. Please note this house needs and deserves some updating.
First time offered in 40 years, this family compound has been cared for by two generations. It is an historical landmark built by the original settlers in the 1700's with several additions and enlargements in the 19th and 20th centuries. While the structure and it's systems are in good condition and the house very livable, you will want to make changes to this antique to meet with all your current tastes.
