6 Bristol Town Road, Southbury, CT 06488

For the first time in a generation, this 9-acre celebrity-owned estate - a private, trout-filled riverfront sanctuary with mature 19th-century landscaping - is available. Set across two New England towns, this historic, pesticide-free property is both wildly natural and thoughtfully updated. The 4BR, 2.5BA main home, lovingly preserved and discreetly modernized, features 4 working fireplaces, a 1710 barrel-ceilinged schoolhouse kitchen with new stainless GE appliances and custom walnut countertops, and a heated all-season sunroom designed by Louis Bancel LaFarge. Upgrades include a whole-house generator, new roof with anti-algae shingles, on-demand hot water, water filtration, new insulation, underground fiber optic internet, new washer/dryer, oil tank, and furnace. A 1997 hand-built post-and-beam barn with two garage bays and a soaring second story offers breathtaking views - ideal for conversion to additional living space or studio. The grounds are extraordinary: edible landscaping, a greenhouse, fruit trees, wild blackberry and raspberry brambles, and open meadows where herons, deer, owls, and foxes appear as regular guests. A secret staircase, hidden room, double-gated circular drive, and original stonework enhance the estate's storybook charm. Only five owners in over two centuries have called this paradise home. Will you be the sixth? Located 73 mi. from NYC, easy access to major hywys.
