Once known as "the Last Substantial CT River View Land Parcel in Essex", it's now home to a gorgeous, custom craftsman ranch which features absolutely stunning southerly river views as well as 15+ acres of extreme privacy just 1 mile from Essex Village Center! Impeccable architectural thought & design are truly the descriptors for this modern, open & airy residence that allows one to feel the ambient light & view the river from almost every indoor & outdoor living space! Upon entering the property domain through a gated entry, you can only imagine what's ahead. Then high above the river, the oasis appears. You are now surrounded by the expansive L-shaped ranch with stone exterior facade & brilliant Palladian windows. Not to be outdone, the interior just flows with gleaming oak hardwood, vaulted ceilings galore & windows, yes indescribable banks of windows throughout that look out over an expansive & very useful wrap-around ground level deck which is accessed from every main level room & includes a hot tub, awnings, arbors & seating areas. Beyond the decks you're embraced by the nicely manicured grounds with gazebo. What the eye truly gravitates to is the view of the CT River & how it is in such frame & focus as you move inside & outside the home! Amazing accoutrements which exist in harmony with the views include the gourmet kitchen, attached family room, living room & master bedroom suite with attached office annexed by an English Garden with courtyard. Seeing is believing!
