Painted River is a rare offering in the Merryall community of New Milford, Litchfield County. Set at the end of a 400-foot private drive, this 6+ acre property offers complete seclusion with direct frontage on the West Aspetuck River. River views, glowing westerly sunsets, and preserved frontage guarantee privacy for years to come. Groomed walking trails weave through fenced meadows and mature landscaping, creating the perfect backdrop for daily walks, horseback riding, or quiet reflection. With five horse stalls, three paddocks, and a custom insulated shed, this is a true equestrian retreat. The single-level home has been fully renovated with no expense spared. Hardwood floors and new doors run throughout. Sun-drenched rooms infused with nature highlight the open layout, where living and dining areas are anchored by a stone wood-burning fireplace and flow onto a bluestone patio overlooking the river. The chef's kitchen boasts stone countertops, stainless appliances, and a wine cooler. The primary suite features its own fireplace and luxurious en-suite bath, while two additional bedrooms share an updated second bath, each with patio access. Outdoors, custom hardscaping, specimen trees, and a built-in fireplace and grill make entertaining effortless. Just minutes from New Milford's village center and 90 minutes from NYC, Painted River offers the perfect blend of rustic charm, modern comfort, and timeless privacy.
