Set on four private acres along a quiet stretch of road near the Housatonic, this is a property that keeps to itself. No sightlines from the neighbors, no road noise to speak of, just the sound of the brook that runs through the back of the yard. This is a place built for quiet enjoyment, and the land delivers it in full. The gardens are the kind that take decades to get right, and someone got them right. The driveway is lined with rhododendrons that light up every spring, and from there the whole landscape is paced to bloom straight through summer. Fruit trees, azaleas, perennials, blueberries, raspberries. Walk it in July and you understand: this wasn't landscaping, it was devotion. And for all that's established, there's still room to put your own touch. Inside, the first floor opens up and flows, with wood floors throughout and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the whole space. A full bath sits on the main level. Upstairs, the primary has its own en suite, and the other two bedrooms share a half bath. Then there's the detached three-car garage, and this is where the property gets interesting for the long game. The unfinished second floor is a true blank slate, and the infrastructure is already in place to finish it: a separate electric panel ready to be tapped for the buildout, plus an EV charger below. Guest quarters, an in-law suite, a rental ADU. The hard part is done. The rest is drywall and vision. The Sheffield covered bridge, about as scenic as New England gets, is an easy walk. Guido's is ten minutes. But it's the privacy and the land that stay with you.
