About This Home

As of January 2026

Tucked along a quiet country road, the Isaac Backus House (c.1787) is a beautifully preserved New England Colonial on 45 private acres with stone walls, walking trails, and a pond. This 4-bed, 3-bath home offers 3,259 sq ft of timeless charm-wide-plank floors, hand-sawn beams, and six working fireplaces, two with pizza and bread ovens. A spacious kitchen with gas cooktop, stainless appliances, and stone fireplace overlooks the patio and herb garden. Enjoy a 3-level barn with horse stall, chicken coop, and workshop, plus solar panels, a wood-burning furnace, and restored chimneys. A structural engineer called it one of the most solidly built historic homes he's seen-a true Connecticut legacy.
