This is the stuff dreams are made of! A jaw-dropping one-of-a-kind retreat. The quintessential country getaway. Welcome the outdoors inside via the new sunroom addition featuring a coffered beadboard ceiling, walls of windows, a wood stove, and a custom built-in seating area. Venture forth through the banks of French doors in the sunroom to entertain or relax on the adjacent Ipe patio. A 230-acre nature preserve is yours to enjoy just across the lane or take a five-minute drive to Essex village Main Street restaurants, yoga, wellness center, shops, marinas, yacht clubs, the CT River Museum, and the c.1776 Griswold Inn taproom with live music most nights. Artist-friendly Chester village restaurants, shops, and galleries are also close by. The far from a cookie-cutter floor plan is a joy at every turn! Gorgeous Brazilian cherry floors throughout. Vaulted ceilings, custom millwork and windows, a fireplace, a newly remodeled master bath with a heated floor, and vaulted beadboard ceilings. The three-plus acre lot encompasses the most beautiful surroundings you can imagine. The outdoor shower is a completely private oasis. A whole-house generator adds peace of mind. Live life like every day is a vacation day! Located mid-way between New York City and Boston and a world apart from anywhere.
