Redding Farm Estate in Rural Connecticut

This property is on the market for $16,000,000, listed with Roni Agress of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty.

This luxury farm estate in rural Redding, CT is a country retreat unlike any other, just one hour from NYC. 

Formally known as Maple Hill Farm, this property is an incredible “Gentleman’s Farm”. The term, originating from the 19th century, refers to an era when retired sea captains and shipping agents returned to Nantucket for start their own farms and dairies. A ‘gentleman farmer’ is one who farms for pleasure, not profit or survival.  

With its contemporary styling and luxurious finishes, this 7 bedroom, 6+3 bathroom residence is set on a 50 acre property which also happens to be a self-sustaining working farm. 

There’s a pig and chicken coop, and horse stalls with paddocks and a riding ring. Acres of trails meander through the property’s woodland, which is peppered with Winnie the Pooh characters created by a local chainsaw artist. 

A 300-foot stream flows down to a waterfall, cascading into a 3-acre pond stocked with largemouth bass and brown trout.

 The property has three antique guest houses, as well as a boat house, a sugar shack (to make you private label maple syrup, of course), and a tennis court. 

This luxury farmstead truly has unrivalled amenities, like the state-of-the-art private recording studio and performing arts venue—indicative of the type of buyer who may be attracted to this luxury refuge in the countryside.
