Prepare to be awestruck as you step into this remarkable waterfront sanctuary, situated on the coveted shores of Candlewood Lake. Just a scenic 90-minute drive from the bustling metropolis of NYC, this extraordinary abode offers an unparalleled opportunity to indulge in the lifestyle of a renowned Food Network celebrity chef.

Throughout the seasons—be it the vibrant hues of summer, the crisp air of fall, or the serene beauty of winter—this residence stands as the epitome of luxurious living, perfect for hosting unforgettable gatherings and creating cherished memories.

Upon entry, you're greeted by a sprawling open-concept space that seamlessly integrates the living, dining, and sitting areas. Impeccably adorned with tasteful decor, this expansive zone boasts panoramic vistas of the glistening lake, inviting you to unwind and bask in its natural splendor. The kitchen, a culinary haven equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, dual sinks, dual islands, and a generously-sized wine fridge, beckons to the inner chef in you, offering a canvas for culinary creations against the backdrop of sweeping waterfront views.

Stepping outside onto the wraparound deck, you're met with an outdoor paradise—a professionally appointed LYNX kitchen that rivals those of five-star resorts. From the crackle of the wood-burning pizza oven to the sizzle of the large grill, every detail is meticulously crafted to elevate your alfresco dining experience. With ample seating, a full bar, warming drawers, and a plethora of amenities, this outdoor haven is designed to accommodate gatherings of any size with ease. Additionally, the lower covered patio, directly accessible from the finished family room, beckons with its own high-end bar, complete with an ice machine and dishwasher, offering yet another inviting space for relaxation and entertainment.

When it's time to retire for the evening, each of the five bedrooms awaits, boasting king-sized beds for indulgent comfort. The master suite, a true oasis of tranquility, features a cozy fireplace and an opulent master bath that rivals the grandeur of a fantasy realm, complete with a steam shower that promises to whisk you away on an adventure akin to Game of Thrones.

But the extravagance doesn't end there. To ensure an unforgettable stay, the owner generously provides an array of water sports equipment, including paddle boards, kayaks, and a slide dock—perfect for exploring the crystal-clear waters of Candlewood Lake and creating cherished memories with loved ones.

In summary, this waterfront retreat is more than just a residence; it's a haven of luxury, tranquility, and entertainment, promising an experience that transcends the ordinary and leaves an indelible mark on all who have the privilege of calling it home—even if just for a brief sojourn.

What A Wonderful Weekend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway at the lake house in New Fairfield! Everything was fantastic and the house was absolutely beautiful. Donatella made us feel right at home and she could not have been more welcoming and gracious. The area was so pretty during the wintertime and the lake had a surreal appearance being frozen. It was so quiet and peaceful. The house was so spacious and inviting we felt like we didn’t want to leave! Overall we had a fabulous weekend and would highly, highly recommend staying here!!

Stunning home you can’t miss!!

Absolutely stunning! Our stay at this gorgeous house on Candlewood Lake in Connecticut was nothing short of magical. The home is beautifully decorated and features an abundance of windows that frame breathtaking views of the lake.From the moment we arrived, the owner went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. She was incredibly responsive and attentive, making us feel right at home. Whether it was providing local recommendations or ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay, her hospitality truly made a difference.Her house is simply amazing and the different levels of the home provide amble space away from your guests if needed also. Everything is so clean and comfortable that you feel as though this is your home. We spent four delightful days in this lovely home, enjoying the serene environment and stunning decor. It was indeed a perfect home away from home. We can't wait to return! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! My family and I are coming back in July and this is our number 1 spot that we will be requesting to stay at again
