Windswept Acres is a rare opportunity to own a mature estate property of almost 500 acres in a rural setting in eastern central Connecticut. The property includes a 7000 square foot country house begun circa 1800 and greatly expanded in 1987, that includes 3 plus bedrooms, 4 full, 3 half baths, 11 rooms, 3 fireplaces and many custom details far too numerous for enumeration here.

The extensive grounds include specimen trees and plantings, an early bank barn and a three thousand plus square foot new commodious post and beam multi-purpose barn with state of the art mechanicals.

The property is in Hampton, CT, a bucolic town in the Green Valley of the East Central part of the state, a town memorialized by resident Pulitzer Prize winning naturalist Edwin Way Teale for its ethos, flora and fauna, in his book, A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm.

Over 5 miles of groomed trails and farm bridges interconnect 3 ponds, one a large swimming pond with a floating dock and another a larger beaver pond. These trails access numerous private meadows suitable for agriculture, horses or other livestock. Hundreds of acres of mature forest laced by streams and stone walls provide a superb environment for hunting (Windswept Acres is a fully licensed preserve), hiking or equestrian pursuits.

The farm abuts large horse farms and is a short walk to State land. It is a twenty minute country ride from the storied Pomfret School and the antique center of Putnam, 40 minutes from Hartford, Providence and the Shore Towns. Equidistant to NYC and Boston.

A most rare and well-priced offering.
