Imagine the beauty, peace, and tranquility of living on this sprawling country property with a private, spring-fed pond for fishing (stocked for many years with Largemouth Bass), and swimming! Nearly 16 acres allow for a small farm, horses, chickens, and/or other livestock. There is even potential to divide the property for a new building lot! The custom-built home was thoughtfully designed by the current owners. It has been lovingly maintained, is easily expandable, and overflowing with features like passive solar, indoor BBQ, wet bar, and greenhouse, just to name a few! Enjoy a crackling fire in the living room or primary bedroom suite. Relax, or dine al fresco, on the screened porch while the sights and sounds of nature melt stress away! The exterior has received fresh paint, as has the garage, and new carpeting was installed in the family room and all upstairs bedrooms. Additional features include main floor laundry, generous pantry, large shed, walk-in attic, mature trees, professional landscaping, wine cellar, A/C-ready forced air system, centrally connected wood burning stove, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, dining room, living room, and hallways! This home is located in a quiet area with easy access to a grocery store, restaurants/shops, and to I-84. UConn and ECSU are close by and Hartford is less than 30 minutes away. The property is also close to state forest, land trusts, and hiking/riding trails. Schedule your showing today!
