AS you turn into the driveway to this perfectly serene setting, any stress you may have will magically disappear.
This special single level house sits next to a beautiful stream (actually the Hollenbeck River) on 3 quiet, peaceful acres in the northwest corner of Connecticut.
Surrounded by the picturesque Litchfield County towns of Lakeville, Salisbury, Canaan, Cornwall and Kent and to the north, the Massachusetts towns of Sheffield and Great Barrington. The location couldn’t get any better.
For music lovers, Music Mountain is just 15 minutes away, Tanglewood is an hour’s drive north, and the Yale Summer School, in Norfolk, holds frequent concerts. In winter, there are 3 ski resorts in the area and plenty of cross-country skiing in the state parks.
Inside the house, you will find vaulted and beamed ceilings, lots of French doors, a gourmet kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, a small office/study, and wide-planked wood floors throughout.
The 3 spacious bedrooms all have full bathrooms. Two bedrooms overlook the river. The third bedroom has steps leading to a sleeping loft. The living room / dining room / kitchen is an open floor plan with columns separating the living/dining areas.
The spacious deck outside the living room is the perfect spot to enjoy beautiful views of the river, pastoral fields and distant hills. There is a parking area outside the house as well a stand-alone one-car garage.

This house made it a Thanksgiving to remember. The location is charming: views of fields and mountains from the deck, a quiet amble down to the tree lined stream. And just 10 minutes fro the nearest town. The layout of the house is perfect: bedrooms in the back so they stay quiet; a bathroom with every bedroom plus one; a long, sectioned living area so one group can sit in front of the fire and watch tv, one can play games, and one where people can cook and still be part of the action. The kitchen is top quality modern and there are plenty of plates and glasses.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.

A friend of mine and I rented the house for six weeks this summer and it was the ideal location to gather family and friends from NYC and Boston. Great location and the house is beautifully furnished with great open kitchen and living area. Everyone enjoyed hanging out, cooking, etc. in the space. Nice bedrooms and baths and a nice open lawn and views from the yard with lots of great places to hike and ride bikes nearby. Owners are very responsive too.

if you are looking for quiet and relaxation, this is the place. great for three couples or large family. great kitchen. two friends and myself with our wives stayed here while us guys went to skip barber racing school at lime rock which is only 5 miles away. despite all the fine restaurants in the area we prepared three great meals at the house and sat out on the back deck after dinner to relax, tell stories and down a few beers. it was a great experience. would do it again in a heartbeat.
