Property Description
This is more than a home-it's a piece of living history. Believed to have been built in 1640, this extraordinary property is one of the oldest surviving residences in Connecticut and a rare connection to the founding days of the Saybrook Colony. Set on 8.57 private acres bordered by original New England stone walls, this property invites you to restore and reimagine a true American treasure. Expanded in the 1800s and again in the 1970s, the home now offers approximately 2,700 square feet of living space with two bedrooms, one and a half baths, and graciously sized rooms full of warmth, character, and stories. A cedar closet upstairs and solid wood cabinetry are just a few of the charming period details that remain. The expansive detached barn features a garage below and an enormous light-filled studio above-once the creative haven of renowned artists Fred & Elsie Buchholz, Gladys Fitsch and Karen Bull-Haley. This space offers incredible potential as an artist's retreat, a musician's studio, a first-floor primary suite, or a private home office with its own entrance. Outdoors, you'll find a peaceful, pastoral landscape with perennial gardens including Lenten roses, and a babbling brook. Surrounded by undeveloped land and located just across from Beckett Hill State Park and Nehantic State Forest, nature lovers will appreciate the unmatched privacy and access to hiking, boating, and all that the Lyme area has to offer.
