Once in a lifetime opportunity to own this pastoral 3-acre estate w/ house, barn, pool, riding ring, pastures and established gardens in the heart of CT horse country. This premier location of multi-million dollar homes borders the Ridgefield Golf Course and the North Salem Bridle Trails. The gracious 4+ BR home has been architecturally expanded for today's lifestyle: updated kitchen and baths, open-concept living spaces, huge great room, a large bonus room, a main level master/guest option and convenient mudroom round out this fantastic floorplan! Idyllic over-sized screened porch overlooks the magical property. Additional 2500 SF barn completes this gentleman's farm, providing limitless potential for your horses or future expansion. Owner/agent Extended Remarks: Rarely do opportunities like this present themselves and for the well-seasoned buyer, with an eye for homes of distinction, this home takes the prize. The soft sound of the stone driveway welcomes you to this country estate with stunning grounds and a fabulous home, barn and pool. The sprawling farmhouse speaks to the soul, exuding a timeless elegance fused seamlessly with modern amenities of large rooms, open layout, vaulted ceilings, two fireplaces, bonus room, mudroom, 2nd-floor laundry, main level master, and a spectacular oversized screened porch. Enjoy updated kitchen and baths, built-ins, pocket doors, hardwood floors throughout, and walls of windows that frame the gorgeous vistas of the surrounding property and a postcard view of the Amish built barn. This home will win the heart of any buyer seeking style, elegance, and an escape from the mundane. Step outside past flowers and stone walls to your sun-drenched pool surrounded by established gardens and ideal badminton/croquet area. Horse-lover or not, the picture perfect barn is a feast for the eyes whether your dream is to bring your horses home with you or to create a new life for the 2500 sf barn (pool house? art studio? apartment? or lavish party barn?!). For added convenience, the barn has a separate driveway, keeping the comings and goings of the stables minimally invasive to the main house. There's even a fully automatic generator. The expansive riding ring and pastures can become whatever your heart desires, whether a playground for your ponies, the perfect soccer pitch, or even wildflower meadows; the possibilities are endless. Bordering NY and tucked behind an antique church where General Washington slept en route on his historic march, (historians say he walked this very parcel!), sits this peaceful neighborhood in the heart of horse country. Neighbors can be seen trotting their horses to the North Salem Bridle Trails, enjoying evening strolls, or even sneaking in a few holes of dusk-time golf on the adjoining Ridgefield Course. Just 60 miles door to door from NYC w/ easy proximity to trains, highways, shopping and recreation, this country oasis is not to be missed. Boasting the 4th best schools in CT, Ridgefield is a sophisticated suburban community bustling with shops, museums, music and arts venues and top rated restaurants. It is regularly named CT's #1 town by CT Magazine and is considered the jewel of Fairfield County. Chickens and "cluckingham palace" coupe can stay for the right buyer.
