Complete with indoor & outdoor pools, a tennis court, sprawling manicured lawns, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath guest house, & a marvelous manor home with staff quarters, the property also offers 11 garage spaces for the car collector & a greenhouse for the botany enthusiast. Owning this estate also puts you in great company with some noted historical figures including Henry Luce - founder of Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Fortune and others- & his wife, Claire Booth Luce, Connecticut's first congresswoman, as well as Henry P Kraus - a rare book dealer whose collection included a Gutenberg Bible & a first printing of the Constitution! Supremely private, the long drive through wrought-iron gates brings you to the tree-lined cobblestone courtyard of the home. With 12-foot ceilings throughout, there are also an architecturally significant number of french doors surrounding the residence, lending a sophisticated air. Grand rooms meld with cozy fireplaces & the home feels welcoming for its size. Supremely beautiful western views allow for gorgeous sunsets, & rustic stone paths criss cross the lawns. While building lots can be subdivided, the property is being sold as a single parcel. There is also 10 acres of donated open space across the road from the property, which can never be developed.
