About this home
More than a residence, this is a world unto itself. Encompassing 6.57 acres, this singular Branford estate offers the space to shape an extraordinary lifestyle. Zoning allows for up to six horses, with a four-stall barn offering a loft, lower level ideal for a wine cellar, and versatility for three additional stalls or conversion to an approximately ten-car garage-an opportunity for equestrians and car collectors alike. The acreage lends itself well to a private vineyard, gardens, recreation, or quiet enjoyment. A spectacular inground pool, hot tub, waterfall feature, and pool house create the ambiance of a private resort. Dating to the early 1900s, the six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home is rich in warmth and character, with an expansive floor plan for everyday living and gracious entertaining. Formal living and dining rooms are complemented by a sunroom where the landscape becomes part of the interior experience. Fireplaces across both levels bring architectural presence and an inviting sense of home. The main level also offers a private study and generous en-suite bedroom, creating flexibility for guests or first-floor living. Upstairs, a spacious primary suite joins additional well-proportioned rooms, while a second staircase enhances the home's distinctive flow. A partially finished lower level adds space. Convenient to New York City by highway or train, this timeless, versatile estate offers a rare opportunity to live beautifully, without ever needing to get away.
