This exceptional 1-acre parcel offers a truly unique combination of private waterfront living and immediate access to some of Connecticut's most beautiful natural resources. Set along scenic Gale Pond, the property is directly adjacent to Penwood State Park and located directly across the street from Talcott Mountain State Park, creating an extraordinary setting for hiking, mountain biking, swimming, kayaking, and year-round outdoor recreation. The property has been fully remediated, with the former residence legally demolished and initial site work completed, providing a valuable head start for the next owner to work with the Town of Bloomfield toward creating a new waterfront residence. With approximately one acre of land and direct water frontage, there is ample opportunity to design a home that takes full advantage of the natural setting and water views. Imagine starting the day with coffee overlooking the pond, spending an afternoon on the water, and then heading out for a hike or mountain-bike ride without ever having to get in the car. At the same time, the property is conveniently located near the restaurants, shopping, and amenities of West Hartford and Simsbury, offering a rare balance of tranquility, recreation, and accessibility. For those seeking something truly distinctive, this is an opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind waterfront retreat in a remarkably scenic Connecticut setting.
