Tucked away on over 8 private acres and surrounded by nearly 600 acres of protected preserve, 140 Podunk Road is a rare modern country retreat just minutes from the Guilford Green. Built in 2012 with exceptional craftsmanship, this custom Tidewater-style Cape offers just under 3,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, where timeless elegance meets nature's tranquility. The main level features a spacious primary suite with a private deck, perfect for morning coffee overlooking your own natural sanctuary. A flexible office or den and two full bathrooms offer versatility for work, guests, or multi-generational living. At the heart of the home is a striking two-story great room with a stone fireplace, seamlessly connected to a sun-filled, eat-in kitchen. Just off the kitchen, you'll find an oversized mudroom with a walk-in pantry, a half bath, and a private staircase leading to the bonus room over the garage - a layout that perfectly balances function and comfort. Truly a gem for modern-day living. French doors open to a double-height screened porch and expansive deck, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for seasonal enjoyment. Upstairs, a mezzanine landing overlooks the great room and connects two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The walkout lower level with 8' ceilings offers over 1,700 sq ft of storage space for future expansion. The park-like grounds are a true highlight w/ direct access to nearby hiking trails via a private path, creating an immersive experience in nature. A charming red barn with over 900 sqft, 3 stalls, and a loft provides endless potential for hobbyists, equestrians, or additional storage. Located just 3.2 miles from I-95 and Guilford's town center, yet worlds away in peaceful privacy, CT countryside living at its finest. Professional Photos coming 5/14
