Property Description

Reverie Farm is a legacy estate and family compound set on more than 101 private acres atop one of the highest points in Litchfield County, Connecticut, spanning four tax parcels with additional estate quality building sites. Perennial gardens, orchards, ancient trees, and sweeping views create a storybook setting in every season. At the heart is the remarkable 1799 Main House, where Federal, Dutch Colonial, and Shingle Style architecture blend seamlessly into a home unlike any other. Offering nearly 7,000 square feet with seven bedrooms, five full and two half baths, multiple stone fireplaces, and a historic pub believed to be the oldest surviving part of the residence, the home balances grand scale with warmth and character. The estate also features a heated in-ground pool, tennis court, 3-br guest house with its own private driveway, 2-br guest apartment, the dance studio of Francine du Plessix Gray, and an antique barn once used as the art studio of renowned American Abstract Expressionist Cleve Gray. Reverie Farm has welcomed notable cultural figures over its storied history, including Marcel Breuer and Philip Roth, adding an extraordinary artistic legacy to its architectural significance. Additional buildings offer abundant possibilities for studios, offices, fitness spaces, or entertaining. With access to Lake Waramaug and the private Warren town beach, and conveniently located near the Mayflower Inn and Northwestern Connecticut’s prestigious private schools, Reverie Farm offers an exceptional opportunity for generational living, agricultural pursuits, and equestrian activities all within 2hr of New York City.
