About this property
Hidden Gem on Private Road - Hike; Swim, Ski, Sauna; Relax - Repeat!!
Welcome to an oasis of calm in the middle of nature within commuting distance of NY (1.30 hour drive and 20 mins to Metro North). Swim in the summer (pool and lake); ski in the winter; relax at home with a glass of wine after enjoying a sauna or after exploring one of the many trails and small towns CT and the Berkshires offer.
Even though you are hidden on 3 acres at the end of a private road, within minutes you will find of everything you need (town, cinema, supermarket, outdoor tennis...).

About the host
Hosted by Thomas Jacob
We are an Italian (Rome) and French-American (New York and Metz) couple with a young child. We fell in love with this house and it is a reflection of who we are, a mix of modern and traditional, fun and serious. Please don't hesitate to ask us about the house, the area...we love it here and hope you will to.
Why they chose this property
Living in Sherman feels like stepping into a postcard.
You are steps away from numerous amazing small towns (Kent, Millerton, New Millford), easy access to both Candlewood Lake and the rolling hills of the Berkshires. Whether it’s sipping wine at White Silo Farm & Winery, hiking the trails at Deer Pond Farm, catching a show at the Sherman Playhouse, going to the Trevor Zoo or exploring the cultural gems of the Berkshires like Tanglewood and the Norman Rockwell Museum, there’s plenty to do.
And once you get to the fall season, it’s leaves leaves leaves 😊
