Description
Some properties are defined by the house that sits on them. Others are defined by the land itself...by history, landscape and a sense of beauty that simply cannot be created. This is such a place. Owned and farmed by the same family for 200 years, this remarkable 16 Acre piece sitting on the Hammonassett River is the last piece of the original farm to be sold. With over 1500 ft. bordering the river, the property unfolds across open hay fields, tidal marshes and expansive river views. The landscape changes with the seasons and the light, grasses moving with the wind and water reflecting the ever changing sky...a landscape that is both bucolic and breathtaking. This is an exceptional setting for a distinctive country residence, a private retreat or a place to enjoy a quieter chapter of life. An existing, well appointed, three bedroom ranch home sits on the property and enjoys the same remarkable views. Comfortable as it stands, the home could ultimately serve as a guest house, artist's studio or private office. The property offers the potential for more than one lot, but with generations of family ownership, the sellers have hopes to see the land remain intact, so no soil testing has been undertaken for subdivision. A survey is available and buyers considering additional development should conduct their own due diligence. After two centuries in the same family, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of an extraordinary Connecticut landscape.
