Property Description

Reverie Farm is an exceptionally rare late 18th century stone and shingle estate, on more than one hundred acres, located in one of the highest and most private parts of Connecticut. Situated in the heart of Litchfield County, the property rises more than 1,200 feet in elevation across four distinct tax parcels, among which are several estate quality building sites. The setting is dreamlike in every season, and quintessentially New England. The 1799 Main house is an architectural marvel that achieves effortless balance between its Georgian-Federal, Dutch Colonial, and European elements. The effect is nothing short of entering a fairy tale, one that unfolds endlessly with each new detail that one discovers. An incredibly intimate home, the Main house at Reverie is nonetheless nearly 7,000 square feet and boasts seven bedrooms, five full and two half baths, several ancient fireplaces, and an historic ''pub'', reputed to be the oldest part of the house. There is a Gunite pool, privately situated among mature gardens, a tennis court, and a beguiling number of ancient trees around the property. Reverie has an overwhelming number of outbuildings including a guest house, separate dance studio with apartment, and an antique barn that was the studio of American Abstract Expressionist painter Cleve Gray. Gray lived at the property with his wife Francine du Plessix, the noted journalist-novelist. Other luminaries who lived nearby include statesman Henry Kissinger, novelist Philip Roth, and landscape painter Eric Sloane. The numerous additional buildings allow for multiple art studios, gymnasiums, offices, or party barns. Reverie is conveniently located to Lake Waramaug, the Mayflower Inn, and is an easy drive to the many private schools for which Northwestern CT is renowned. This sale includes 4 parcels totaling 101.07 acres
