Sharon, CT 06069

The rarest luxury is seldom the land itself. It is the time already devoted to revealing its full potential. Set amidst protected land along the coveted Kent-Sharon border, RockOak offers the uncommon advantage of beginning years ahead on the construction of a legacy estate. The completed retreat allows the property to be enjoyed immediately, while the future estate evolves. Overlooking the orchard, gardens, woodlands and long views it offers refined, comfortable living from the very first day. The estate unfolds like a private park of meadows, woodlands, orchards, gardens, dramatic elevations and a sheltered seasonal brook. Sweeping western sunsets, expansive northern vistas, and carefully composed landscapes ensure every season reveals a new perspective. Two parcels define the property's flexibility. The principal Sharon homesite occupies a commanding elevation and includes architectural design plans by architect, Scot Samuelson, AIA, NCARB for a 5,000+ sq ft residence. The 2nd parcel is in Kent & Sharon, reached by its own private drive. It rests quietly on the edge of a woodland above the brook and in the meadow below the principal Sharon site. Throughout the estate, thoughtful infrastructure has been integrated into the landscape, while historic woodland roads, stone walls, specimen trees, perennial gardens, fountains, scenic overlooks, and a distinctive 40 tree orchard create a landscape of exceptional beauty and permanence. Convenient access to NYC by car or train. Positioned between the historic villages of Sharon, Kent, Cornwall, Wassaic and Amenia, the property enjoys exceptional privacy while remaining moments from acclaimed restaurants, galleries, schools and chic shops. Hundreds of acres of protected land for hiking lie in the immediate surroundings. New York City is just 2 hours by car, or 17 minutes to Metro North Ten Mile train station. Recreational clubs are just 10-20 minutes away including Ten Mile River, Tamarack, Sharon Country Club and Bulls Bridge Golf Club.
