About This Home
As of December 2025Perched high above the iconic West Cornwall Covered Bridge, this remarkable property offers some of the best views in Cornwall - and possibly all of Litchfield County. From the Housatonic River below to sweeping mountain ridges stretching from west to north, the panorama is nothing short of breathtaking. The original 1930 stone hunter's cabin exudes vintage charm, with a dramatic fireplace, handcrafted details, and a stone terrace perfectly positioned to take in the views. The newer addition enhances the home's appeal, featuring a spacious Great Room with kitchen, dining, and a second fireplace - all oriented toward the magnificent outlook. With two bedrooms, each with ensuite baths, the home provides comfort and privacy while maintaining its rustic elegance. A large two-car garage adds practicality and space for equipment or creative use. Whether you're drawn to the romance of the historic cabin, the potential to elevate the home further, or simply the unrivaled vistas, this property is a rare find in the heart of the Litchfield Hills - just minutes from the Covered Bridge, Housatonic River, and the charming village of West Cornwall.
