Designer's Country Retreat on 19+/- Acres with Pool, Pond & Glamping! Meticulously designed by a noted interior designer as her personal countryside sanctuary, this extraordinary residence offers refined living amid the enticing natural beauty of Litchfield County. Located on the Morris/Washington border, the property enjoys quick access to the sought-after villages of Washington Depot, New Preston, Bantam, & Litchfield. From the striking Greek Revival exterior to the warm, welcoming interiors, every detail of this home has been thoughtfully curated. The gourmet kitchen, ideal for entertaining, flows seamlessly into a cozy family room & casual dining area. A butler's pantry connects to the formal dining room, while a sunlit hallway leads to the living room with vaulted ceiling. Its a truly inspiring space to relax, take in the view through the huge picture window, or gather with guests. Upstairs, 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths open onto a screened sleeping porch, perfect for summer nights or reading al fresco. The finished attic adds flexibility with a bunk room hosting 6 twin beds and a half bath. The home comfortably sleeps 16. The lower level offers a fun game room for year-round enjoyment with a 3rd stone fireplace and addl 1/2 bath. Throughout the home, timeless materials such as hand-hewn beams, wide board floors, fieldstone fireplaces, and Shaker-style cabinetry create a sophisticated yet rustic ambience. Outside, expansive views, cottage-style gardens, and a broad, flat lawn extend from the covered porch and terrace. Meander down to the stunning gunite pool with its post-and-beam cabana with kitchenette, bath, built in grill station, and outdoor shower. Continue on mowed paths to the lily pad-covered pond. 4 rustic cabins with built-in bunks provide a magical "glamping" experience around a stone firepit overlooking the pond. Walk to the Bantam River for fishing. Bantam Lake is just a short drive away for boating and beach access. This rare offering combines the charm of a classic country estate with the comfort and scale of a modern home. Potential for equestrian use with an antique barn on site.
