About This Lot

Incredible opportunity to build on the most picturesque 2 acre lot off the end of the cul de sac on desirable Cattle Pen Lane in southern Ridgefield. This is the last developable lot of the original subdivison and backs up to 168 acres of State open space with an equestrian/conservation easement for access to the Wilton riding trail system. A respected local builder has owned this prime property for over 30 years. The lot is fully approved and there are no FAR limitations (grandfathered), so a sizable home could be built, as long as it meets the other current zoning regulations and setbacks. In 2000, a 5BR septic plan was designed and approved. Attached to the listings are deeps and percs, surveys, prior septic approval, and concept drawings with floor plans and elevations for a home that the owner designed. Unlimited potential to build your dream home in premier southern location, close to Wilton and Rt. 7 for commuting/trains, and minutes to historic downtown Ridgefield. Speaking of history, see full story of the origin of Cattle Pen Lane which became a town road in 1985 and was named after "an old stone-walled cow enclosure alongside the road," in the additional public remarks section (from Jack Sander's history of Ridgefield by street). Spectacular setting for a spectacular new home awaits!

  • Remarks Public Addendum: CATTLE PEN LANE Here's a road that, having once belonged to Yale, could have been named for a bulldog. Instead, it's named for cows. Cattle Pen Lane is a 1,300-foot dead-end road off lower Nod Road, serving the 1983 "Nod Hollow" subdivision of nine lots. The land had been owned by Walter H. Cook, a Yale University alumnus who bequeathed it to the university upon his death in 1978. Mr. Cook came to Ridgefield in 1941 after retiring from the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company. Yale sold to the developers, John J. Murren and Robert J. Kane. When Mr. Murren asked this writer for a name for his new road, something to do with Yale - such as Yale Lane - was suggested since the sale of the land had benefited Connecticut's oldest university. The developer immediately rejected the idea. "I went to UConn," he said. "We always hated Yale." He chose to name the lane after an old stone-walled cow enclosure alongside the road. Like most of Ridgefield, this was once farmland. Cattle Pen Lane became a town road in 1985.
