Designer's Country Retreat on 19+ Acres with Pool, Pond & Glamping! Meticulously designed by a noted interior designer as her personal countryside sanctuary, this extraordinary residence offers refined living amid the enticing natural beauty of Litchfield County. Located on the Morris/Washington border, the property enjoys quick access to the sought-after villages of Washington Depot, New Preston, Bantam, and Litchfield. From the striking Greek Revival exterior to the warm, welcoming interiors, every detail of this home has been thoughtfully curated. The gourmet kitchen, ideal for entertaining, flows seamlessly into a cozy family room and casual dining area. A butler's pantry connects to the formal dining room, while a sunlit hallway leads to the living room with vaulted ceiling. Its a truly inspiring space to relax, take in the view or gather with guests. Upstairs, five bedrooms and four full baths open onto a screened sleeping porch, perfect for summer nights or reading al fresco. The finished attic adds flexibility with a bunk room hosting 5 twin beds and a half bath. The home comfortably sleeps 15. The lower level offers a fun game room for year-round enjoyment. Throughout the home, timeless materials such as hand-hewn beams, wide board floors, fieldstone fireplaces, and Shaker-style cabinetry create a sophisticated yet rustic ambience. Outside, expansive views, cottage-style gardens, and a broad, flat lawn extend from the covered porch and terrace. Meander down to the stunning gunite pool with its post-and-beam cabana with kitchenette, bath and outdoor shower. Continue on mowed paths to the lily pad-covered pond. Four rustic cabins with built-in bunks provide a magical "glamping" experience around a stone firepit overlooking the pond. Walk to the Bantam River for fishing. Bantam Lake is just a short drive away for boating and beach access. This rare offering combines the charm of a classic country estate with the comfort and scale of a modern home. Potential for equestrian use with an antique barn on site. Featured in New England Home Magazine.
