163 Kiev Drive, Southbury, CT, 06488

Prepare to be inspired-your personal sanctuary awaits! This absolute jewel box features striking contemporary architecture in the main home, plus a separate climate-controlled rustic cabin. Nestled within Southbury's "Russian Village" (a historic district formerly known as Churaevka), this rarely available property is part of a magical legacy. Founded as an artists' colony by the son of Leo Tolstoy, this enchanting enclave is wrapped in lush, wooded privacy along the Pomperaug River. 163 Kiev is sited on 3 forested acres with exclusive waterfront access for fishing and kayaking. Inside, expansive windows, neutral tones, and premium materials harmonize to create a peaceful, bespoke retreat. The grand entertaining area is anchored by a custom Scandinavian stove and highlighted by a vaulted ceiling, sunlit atrium, and beautiful terracotta floors. A versatile 1st-floor office/BR with a 1/2 bath sits near the cabinet-packed chef's kitchen, boasting a granite peninsula and high-end appliances including a Bosch induction range. Upstairs, a mezzanine connects 2 bright BRs-one with a private balcony, the other with soaring ceilings-sharing a custom skylit bath with a double vanity. The finished walk-out lower level features radiant-heated tile floors and a 2nd gorgeous stove, perfect for movie & game nights. Complete with high-end mechanicals & AC. The stunning pine-lined cabin is spectacularly finished serving as the ideal WFH getaway or guest space with its own mini-split. The magnificent composite deck spans the entire home and is the perfect perch to soak in the sun, listen to the calls of dozens of native birds (property abuts Bent of the River Audubon Center!), & dine al fresco. A short jaunt towards the river leads to a spectacular gazebo offering true immersion for quiet reflection. Custom oversized tandem garage w space for tinkering. Just off the beaten path, you're blissfully secluded, yet just minutes away from myriad retail & dining options, Rt 84, and a mere 80 miles to NYC and only 25 miles to New Haven. Houses come and go, but rarely can you find a property that offers an entire experience like 163 Kiev. This light filled haven is ready for its next stewards to begin making lifetime memories!
