1726 skitchewaug trail

Set on 157 private acres with sweeping long-range views of the Connecticut River, this meticulously restored circa 1735 Cape offers a rare blend of historic character, refined comfort, and estate-scale amenities. Completely dismantled and rebuilt with care, the post-and-beam residence displays exposed beams, wide-board floors and sheathing, gunstock corner posts, and classic brick fireplaces alongside thoughtful modern upgrades. The inviting, renovated kitchen features an oversized fireplace, high-end appliances, and expansive views of the swimming pond and distant views of the Connecticut River. Three en-suite bedrooms include a gracious first-floor primary suite enhanced by a 30-by-20-foot addition. A detached one-bedroom guest cottage with a four-bay garage, a separate utility barn, walking trails, and a 40-acre maintained hay field creates an exceptional private retreat. Mechanical upgrades, a concrete basement, and a whole-house generator provide ease and reliability, with convenient access to Interstate 91, all-season recreation, and Hartness State Airport approximately 20 minutes away. 4 hours to NYC, 2.5 hours to Boston.
