A RARE RIVERFRONT COUNTRY ESTATE - 38.9 ACRES OF BEAUTY, PRIVACY & HISTORY. Set along the Hollenbeck River, this extraordinary 1820 Colonial offers a rare opportunity to own nearly 39 acres in one of Litchfield County's most beautiful settings, surrounded by open meadows, mature woodland, and picturesque river frontage. Thoughtfully updated while preserving the warmth and character of its historic architecture, the 3,421-square-foot residence is both timeless and inviting. Beautiful wood floors, a stunning updated kitchen with Viking appliances, and a screened porch overlooking the landscape create a home equally suited for quiet country living and entertaining. An in-ground pool completes the setting for unforgettable summer days and weekends with family and friends. Beyond the main residence, a classic two-story barn adds tremendous character and possibility. Closer to the river, a beautifully renovated outbuilding is a destination of its own-an inspiring, private space surrounded by nature and ready to become whatever its next owner imagines: a studio, office, guest retreat, creative space, or something entirely unique. The 38.9 acres are what make this property truly exceptional. Sweeping meadow, mature woodland, privacy, and river frontage come together in a setting increasingly difficult to find in Northwest Connecticut. From the river and pool to the historic home, barn, and renovated outbuilding, every part of the property offers something special. Ideally located near the Metro-North train station and within easy reach of the region's most celebrated destinations, including Music Mountain, Tanglewood, Yale School of Music in Norfolk, Lime Rock Park, and the Appalachian Trail. Mohawk Mountain, Butternut, and Catamount offer nearby skiing, while the restaurants, galleries, shops, and outdoor pursuits of Litchfield County and the Berkshires are all within easy reach. A remarkable Litchfield County estate where river, meadow, woodland, and historic New England architecture come together-an idyllic year-round home or country retreat offering extraordinary privacy, character, and a setting that simply cannot be replicated.

Sixty-four years ago, an avid outdoor sportsman bought a large parcel of land on a gravel country road in Sharon, CT. Three years later he had split and sold some off, retaining 33.4+ acres for himself where he built the cabin of his dreams on the shore of a beautiful wetlands area with a pond along side. Bathed in peace, quiet, beauty, and serenity, he built a garage and a workshop, then later added some outbuildings to help with his affinity for collectibles. This was all he needed. The sportsman has passed, and today the home and property is being sold by his siblings. The peace, quiet, beauty, and serenity still remain. On the land and in the nearby water, nature awaits the next steward. The property has the potential for at least two additional home sites, and directly across the road is a large parcel owned by the Sharon Land Trust. The bones of the buildings are solid, and the land is a stunning mixture of native broad-leafed hardwoods and tall conifers. If you want to "get away from it all", this is the country place to get away to.
