About this home
Situated on approximately twenty acres and surrounded by Litchfield Land Trust's Prospect Mountain Preserve and the private holdings of the Marshepaug Club, Arcadia stands as one of Litchfield County's premier properties. The current owners are exceptional stewards and have made significant investments in the dwellings, infrastructure, and surrounding landscape. Rarely does a property come to market that includes a fully renovated home, a meticulously restored barn, pastures, meadows, and gardens. The perfect blend of classic Colonial architecture and tasteful, high-quality modern amenities. Highlights include five en-suite bedrooms, a Vermont slate roof, wide-plank oak flooring, a professional chef's kitchen with a Lacanche range, antique beams, and a wellness center with a sauna and gym space. The property features a comprehensive technology package with integrated smart-home systems, advanced connectivity, security, climate, lighting, and irrigation controls. The current owners thoughtfully reimagined the barn complex for entertaining, incorporating a guest suite, party room, wine cellar, catering scullery, workroom, loft, bar, and hot tub within a screened-in porch. Outdoor entertaining spaces abound, with stone patios, gardens, mahogany decking, pergolas and views. The property is minutes from skiing at Mohawk Mt. and Litchfield Land Trust trails. Arcadia represents an exceptional and rare opportunity to enjoy a country lifestyle within two hours of New York City.
To safeguard the property's privacy and rural character, the owners acquired an additional three acres across the street, which are included in the listing acreage and protected. Minutes to Bantam and Litchfield Centers for Arethusa restaurants and ice cream, shopping and more.
