About This Home

As of January 2019

Long winding tree hemmed drive leads you to this dramatically designed 10000 sq. ft. luxury entertainer sited on one of the highest summits in Lyme. Features a spectrum of intimate isolation overlooking the water yet convenient to town, dining, travel and conveniences. The massive stone fireplace with a storied past – the only original feature -- is the heart of home. Located in the expansive great room, overlooking a secluded utopia intruding upon broad sweeping tantalizing water views of the CT river and Essex Harbor below. Seen through cascading banks of custom over-sized windows and French doors. A “no mold model” with artistic inclinations and a blueprint of surprises. A gracious home with a dining room that will easily accommodate 50 guests. A 1700 sq. ft. master bedroom suite with reading and dressing rooms is in a world of its own. Splendid detail and architectural appointments throughout, this extravagant entertainer features --- a grand atrium rising 40’ towering over a country cloistered estate setting surrounded by multi-level terraces, a heated pool and intimate isolation on 7 acres of peace and serenity -- overlooking yachts, sails, ships and soaring eagles. Home affords versatility ranging from a caterer’s suite for large scale entertaining to comfortable and casual intimate spaces.
