Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
There are some homes that simply capture your heart from the moment you arrive. And we won’t be surprised if it’s love at first sight when you see this charming Colonial saltbox house. Nestled within the Litchfield Hills and surrounded by acres of beautiful gardens, ponds and walking trails, this is the perfect setting to connect with the beauty of nature. Inside, the exposed beams and wooden floors fill this home with a calming presence. It’s the kind of space that inspires you to slow down and savour the luxurious details that make this home unique. And whether you're spending a cosy morning by the fire, cooking in the kitchen or out on the patio, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. Outside, you’ll find 170 acres of majestic countryside to roam and explore. Wander over bridges, embrace wild swimming and simply soak in the stunning views across the rolling hills. The centre of Litchfield is just a ten–minute drive away where you’ll find a wonderful selection of restaurants and shops for any amenities you might need.
