Private 5-Acre Estate Retreat – 166 Rocky Top Road, Hamden, CT
Step into a world of seclusion, space, and possibility. Nestled on nearly five private acres in Hamden, this residence offers the rare combination of complete privacy with easy access to town conveniences. Just minutes from Quinnipiac University, shopping, and dining, this estate is perfectly positioned for those who want a peaceful escape without giving up modern life.
Why This Property Stands Out
Your Own Private Retreat – No visible neighbors. Only rolling lawns, tall trees, and the calming sound of nature.
Prestigious Location – Less than 10 minutes to central Hamden, highways, and major commuter routes.
Generous Living Spaces – Multiple bedrooms, flexible gathering areas, and a versatile floor plan designed for today’s needs: multi-generational living, home offices, or creative studios.
Outdoor Lifestyle – Covered porch, private balcony, and expansive green space for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying wildlife.
Connection with Nature – Wooded trails, grassy clearings, and wetlands alive with deer, birds, and seasonal color. Ideal for gardeners, hobby farmers, or anyone craving space.
Endless Potential – Strong bones, timeless layout, and the chance to customize with your own luxury upgrades. A rare canvas ready for your vision.

Buyers who understand the long-term value of acreage property this close to town.
