Welcome to Paradise in Killingworth, Connecticut; a 76 acre private retreat; just minutes from prestigious downtown Madison, Connecticut and ….seemingly miles from the rest of civilization. Watch Video here: https://vimeo.com/647836073

The journey to the retreat immediately sets the tone for the relaxing experience you are about to embark on.

Midway down the retreat’s approach; views of the lake begin to appear and you are soon overwhelmed by the color this mile long, 255 acre, spring fed lake has to offer. But let’s let the view speak for itself.

Multiple bridges cross roaring springs leading to the retreat’s epicenter.

First stop…the main house… surrounded by lush lawns, playgrounds..of many types…a stone pond and of course the magnificent 255 acre lake.

Multiple patios and decks from which to absorb and enjoy this unique environment greet you as you approach the main house toward the lake. Find yourself surrounded by a professional kitchen, pizza oven and expansive bar. But…let’s go inside first.

 

Inside, the first floor boasts a large family room with fireplace and a wall of glass overlooking the lake and is adjacent to the home’s granite kitchen which is only used on rainy days. You’ll see why soon.

For those who wish to stay over; the main house offers 4 cozy bedrooms…just small enough to remind you should be outside as much as possible.

Downstairs hosts a large second family room and opens to an impressive stone patio.

But…let’s get back outside…

Upstairs an impressive stone patio leads you to a wrap around deck and one of the retreat’s entertainment centers complete with a New Haven style pizza oven, expansive outdoor kitchen and outdoor bar overlooking the retreat’s large heated pool with waterfall, and firepit.

In the distance one can see one of the retreat’s two wood burning furnaces just one of three alternative sources of energy which also include a large solar field and oil heat….and yes, plenty of generators.

Sensory overload is everywhere…Enjoy the abundance of color and views of this impressive lake from multiple water front decks.

 

On the edge of the lake a large dock awaits your small boat, kayak or maybe an impressive dive or belly flop.

OR

Spend the afternoon by the pool with your favorite beverage. Just close your eyes and let the sound of the waterfall carry you further into paradise.

Later, what better way to spend an evening than with family and friends by a roaring fire?

And we’re just getting started…

Across the driveway is  the retreat’s, more formal, entertainment center. On the perimeter enjoy a game of bocci, volleyball or horseshoes. Or visit the estate’s vineyard and pear orchard. We’ll get to the wine cellar soon.

And, let’s not forget the fully lit tennis and basketball courts.

Heated decks overlook the various courts.

While inside, enjoy family holidays and events in your oversized dining area. Or, relax by the custom crafted bar with your favorite glass of wine.

Speaking of wine..A private wine cellar ,wine press and tasting area awaits you downstairs. I do love those bar stools!

Finally, a professional kitchen, perfect for those large gatherings, beckons caterers, professional chefs and even the occasional amateur cook.

For those with equestrian or other livestock interests; acres of fenced in fields patiently waits for company.

What better way to escape and finally find..Your Place…..A VERY private place in the world. Isn’t it time to Relax?
