About This Home

A WORLD-CLASS PRIVATE ESTATE SET ON 9.31 GATED ACRES. Nestled behind a private gated entry, this extraordinary CT River Valley estate is a rare luxury compound of architectural distinction, solitude, & resort-caliber amenities. Thoughtfully composed across 5 distinct structures, the property blends modern luxury, European influences, & timeless craftsmanship amid curated landscapes, stone pathways, terraces, & over 6,000sf of refined outdoor living space. This is a truly exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime offering. A long winding driveway gradually reveals an exclusive enclave where the outside world fades away.

A boutique-style coat room & jewel-box powder room immediately signal the home's uncompromising level of finish. The show-stopping kitchen features high-gloss bespoke cabinetry, nickel hardware, & a sculptural range hood beneath tall silver-leaf detailed ceilings.
