About This Lot

Welcome to Ivoryton-a borough so rich in charm it practically begs to be the setting of your next chapter. Just up the road from the historic Ivoryton Playhouse, one of the country's longest-running theaters, this 2.2-acre lot places you right where culture and countryside meet. Imagine catching a Broadway-quality show just minutes from your front porch, then strolling to The Blue Hound Cookery or The Ivoryton Tavern for cocktails, seafood, and small-town camaraderie. This is more than land. This is an opportunity wrapped in stone walls and dappled sunlight. Whether you're dreaming of a woodland escape, a designer homestead, or something between, this property offers the freedom to build without HOA constraints, on high, dry land with a gentle grade and good privacy. It's just minutes to the Connecticut River, where boating, kayaking, and riverside dining are second nature. Love the ocean? You're just a short hop to the Long Island Sound, where the shoreline serves up beaches, marinas, lobster rolls, and some of the best sailing in New England. And when it's time to plug back in, you're just 10 minutes to the Old Saybrook train station, where express service can whisk you to NYC or Boston-perfect for the weekday commuter or the weekend escape artist. Route 9 and I-95 are both easily accessible, giving you rare flexibility without sacrificing serenity.
