luxury houses with reception room for sale Kent, United States

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.

This contemporary cedar and stone construction home occupies one of Sherman's most spectacular settings. Set on 102.2 acres, the property provides complete privacy, panoramic mountain views, rolling open meadows, a tennis court, and a recently refinished gunite pool. The home features five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and three levels of living space. Double teak entry doors open to a two-story foyer and an expansive, open-concept main level. At its center is a sunken living room with a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace and dramatic walls of windows. The adjoining dining room and kitchen both provide direct access to the wraparound deck. Also on the main level are a heated three-car garage, powder room, and spacious en-suite bedroom. Upstairs, a second primary suite offers exceptional flexibility and includes a generously sized bathroom, office area, dressing room with two walk-in closets and a sink, sauna, and sliding glass doors opening to a private deck overlooking the rolling hills. Two additional bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom complete the upper floor. Designed for both entertaining and relaxation, the lower level includes a large family room, reading nook, gym area, laundry room, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. Sliding glass doors open to a pathway leading directly to the freeform pool, which was fully restored this summer to be enjoyed for years to come. The tennis and basketball court is surrounded by picturesque meadows and stone walls. A nearby two-story barn provides abundant additional storage. The 102.2-acre property comprises four building lots, with the residence situated on a 94.83-acre parcel and the remaining acreage divided among three smaller parcels. The property may also offer potential for further subdivision, subject to land-use approvals. Despite its remarkable privacy, the estate is just minutes from Metro-North rail service and less than 90 minutes from New York City.

Tucked away at the terminus of a quiet dirt road, this 13-plus-acre sanctuary delivers absolute privacy alongside uncompromising mid century modern luxury. Approached via a winding scenic driveway, the property opens to reveal sweeping, recently opened panoramic vistas of Nettleton Hollow, complete with a tranquil brook and quintessential Litchfield County countryside. At the heart of the estate is a masterfully updated 1950s residence. Inside, striking vaulted ceilings elevate the freshly painted public spaces, and renovated hardwood floors, all anchored by a dramatic central fireplace with venetian plaster finish. Oversized plate-glass windows pull double duty, bathing the interiors in natural light while perfectly framing the idyllic valley views. The main and upper level feature a remarkably spacious primary suite, alongside two additional bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Designed with seamless hosting in mind, the lower level offers a private, full walk-out fourth bedroom suite equipped with radiant heated floors. Outside, southern exposure warms a series of expansive entertaining terraces leading to a 40-foot gunite pool with an automatic cover. Practical luxuries include a dedicated pet-fenced yard, comprehensive mechanical upgrades, generator, and abundant parking for entertaining. This property offers immediate access to nature, sitting just a short stroll from Steep Rock Land Trust's hidden gem, the Johnson Farm Preserve. Yet, this total woodland immersion doesn't sacrifice convenience: under five minutes from the world-class Mayflower Inn & Spa, and less than a 15-minute drive to the acclaimed dining, boutiques, and everyday services of New Preston, Washington Depot, and Woodbury. Peace and Serenity Await.
