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, the ultimate perch to watch 4th of July firework displays from Manhattan all the way up the Hudson River. The main house is 6,743 sf with 5 BR, 4/2 BA, as well as a sound-isolated theater with 8 reclining leather seats and an 11-foot screen.

The great room and bar open up to a covered porch with a fplc and gravel terraces.
