About This Home

As of July 2022

Originally built circa 1850 as a working barn on a Massachusetts farm, this exceptional structure was disassembled and reconstructed on this coveted farm site where it was restored and painstakingly converted by housewright Skip Broom into this magnificent country home. A dramatic waterfront home designed by Hannah Childs Interior Design and crafted with every state of the art amenity. Approximately 4,500 square feet of beautiful sunlit space. The 28 x 60 Main Room, with its wall of glass opening to a large deck with spectacular views and access to Hamburg Cove, soaring ceilings, twin fireplaces and careful use of original flooring and beams, is without equal. Gourmet kitchen with Wolf cooking range, Sub Zero, four large bedroom suites with full baths, loft for office and additional space for family and house guests. The three-story Guesthouse was built in 2019 by Christopher Caulfield, complete with a full gym, sauna, wood paneled office with gas fireplace, kitchen, two and one half baths and sleeps 5 in the third floor bedroom. Pool, spa, full property generator, invisible fence, gas fire pit, alarm system, driveway alarm and professionally landscaped by Novak Brothers Landscaping. Stone pier is perfect for boats, fishing and sailing. Two hours to New York and Boston. Farmer's Markets, Golf, Marinas, Galleries, Museums and Restaurants. Surrounded by the Lyme hills, country estates, gentleman farms and conservation easements to ensure privacy and no further development.
