About this property
Lovely Home on Private Pond w. Hot Tub, BBQ, Firepit
Lovely, recently renovated waterfront home on 8.5 acres with dock, hot tub, outdoor shower, gas grill, and smokeless fire-pit! Enjoy fall colors on your very own 3 acre pond -- Marilyn Monroe used to swim here when she lived up the road in Roxbury.
An easy 90 mins from NYC, the house sits nestled against the hillside with hundreds of acres of trails on adjourning land. After a day's hiking, swimming, paddle boating, relax in the hot tub on the stone patio and enjoy the sunset across the water! Plenty of seating indoors and out plus a hammock beneath a mature cherry tree and deck chairs on the sandy beach and by the fire-pit. 3 full bedrooms on the upper level (2 queen, 1 king with en suite, incl. jacuzzi tun) plus dining and 2 sitting rooms with fully equipped kitchen. 2 overflow bedrooms downstairs plus shower and large TV room.
There's plenty to do in the area, too - eg explore neighboring Washington (and its five villages), sampling its restaurants, shops, art gallery, farm market; try the restaurants and vintage shops in New Milford; go hiking in the Litchfield Hills.
