The culmination of the dream of two architects from the firm of Brooks & Falotico who were inspired by the majestic hilltop vista to design a modern farmhouse retreat, simultaneously clean, contemporary, warm and healing, as a place to entertain family and friends. The compound sits high on a ridge at one of the highest points in CT, centered around a spectacular 60-mile view west and south, and includes three structures designed by the couple. From the first floor one can view 4th of July fireworks from Manhattan all the way up the Hudson River. The main house is 6,743 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 4/2 baths, as well as a sound-isolated theater with 8 reclining leather seats and an 11-foot screen. The large great room with its modern granite fireplace and concealed TV opens onto a contemporary cook’s kitchen with a polished white concrete island and Belgium blue-stone counter tops. The great room and bar open up to a covered porch with a fireplace, as well as gravel terraces. Not to be missed: the master bedroom suite has 2 customized walk-in closet and spa like bath with large soaking tub and walk-in rain shower; each guest bedroom has an en-suite bath; plus the 3rd floor office with balcony offers unparalleled views. The property also includes the "Gate House" which functions as a legal rental cottage (914 square feet, 1 bedroom/1bath); "Art Studio" (898 square feet, fireplace, bath); beautiful lawns; massive stone walls and steps; bocce court; irrigated vegetable garden; as well as 2-1/2 acres of meadow with direct entrance to public hiking trails.
