About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Impressive Unique Waterfront Pool Resort Country Estate

Cozy up in this beautiful 10-acre, 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom COUNTRY ESTATE for 2-20 guests, 1-1.5 hours from Boston, Hartford, Providence, and 3 hours from New York City. The property is surrounded by conservation land, which gives you total privacy.

You can swim in the saltwater pool with multiple floats, play Ping-Pong, foosball, horseshoes, Beer-Pong balls, Beanbags, and Ring Toss in the horse stall area, and paddle around the pond.

In the morning, jog in ravines and forests, hear the birds singing, visit the flower gardens, toast your marshmallows in the firepit on one of the five patios, and climb the cliffs. Grill your food or have food delivered, and eat outside admiring nature.

Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the estate's pond as you sit and read a book on the bench and observe the many frogs, turtles, and fish in the pond. You can also go for a rowboat ride and float in a tube.
There is parking on the driveway for up to 11 cars.

This smart home has its own well and septic field, solar panels, Wi-Fi thermostats, 1Gig mesh internet, motion-control dimmer switches, heat pumps, and mini splits.
The excellent drinking water is filtered through the whole house by several carbon and sediment filters, an iron filter and UV light for any bacteria and viruses.
No salt is used on the land for water softening or as an ice melter in the winter. A product called Ecotraction ( volcanic sediment) is used to de-ice the driveway.

No insecticide or herbicide is used on the property. Many flowers are planted for their fragrance, beauty and pollinator attraction. Weeds are pulled out manually.
We compost food waste, excluding meat because it attracts animals, and separate trash ( 10%) from recycled ( 90%) as practised in our town.

You enter the house through the left garage door.
The three-car garage has been converted into a large mud and recreation room, where you can bring your luggage and groceries and leave your outside shoes.
This recreation room offers a beautiful pool view, has a piano and toys inside the cabinets, and is the perfect indoor-outdoor room during the rain.

When you enter the house from the recreation room, the ivory bathroom and black-and-white bedroom are off the hallway.
You then come to the blue family room with the gas fireplace and card games, connected to the cathedral-ceiling kitchen and the formal dining room that seats 8.
This chef's kitchen has a double oven, Keurig, Expresso, drip coffee, ice cream maker, all baking tools for cakes, cookies, and pies, various spices and condiments, utensils, and plates for 30 plus.
The bar/living room is off the dining room. It has a 55-inch Sony OLED TV and another piano. Please feel free to read any books on any subject.

As you continue walking, you will see the aqua bedroom with a full-size bed, the pink bathroom with double sinks, and the laundry /garden room.
Last, you will encounter the cathedral-ceiling master red bedroom ( 35 feet by 20 feet ) with a 65-inch Sony OLED TV, the master black-and-white bathroom with double sinks, and the cathedral-ceiling oversized jacuzzi.

In summary, the ground floor has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, which is helpful for any elderly parents or handicapped person.

The second floor has three bedrooms ( pink with a queen-size bed, yellow with two single beds, and grey with a double-size bed), an office, another family room with Karaoke, and a purple bathroom.

If you need more space, 3-4 single air mattresses can be in the red bedroom, one in the pink bedroom, 1-2 in the grey bedroom, and one in the office.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer.
Be sure to enjoy recreational amenities including an outdoor pool and a fitness center.
Breakfast is available for a fee.
Guests will find features like internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

Wonderful estate
Several friends and young children enjoyed this property for three nights and everyone loved it. The house felt very warm and welcoming and had charm throughout it. Everyone congregated around the large kitchen island for every meal and the living area was great. Outside offered options for activates, games, walking, swimming, and numerous fire pits. This is a wonderful estate for friends and family to enjoy and have enough space to suit everyone's preferences.

A marvelous property in which to relax
Claire could not have been more helpful in getting us checked into the property and showing us all the fun nooks and crannies of her beautiful house and gardens. A lovely old-farmhouse feel to the house and extensive, beautifully maintained grounds in a glorious location made for a perfect getaway. Wouldn’t change anything.

Great place for family
This place was perfect for our family reunion. We had 17 people from babies to elderly. There was more than enough room for everyone. The place is stocked with everything you could possibly need and then some. The outside spaces are what make this place truly special. The pool was immaculate, and there were tons of floaties and pool toys. They have every outdoor game you can think off. The pond is lovely, we took the little boat out to look for frogs. There is so much space for the kids to run around. There's also plenty to do if it rains. The 3 car garage is set up as an indoor play space.

We hosted 7 other family members who came in for our daughter's wedding. We had a fabulous time and the house & grounds were perfect! Claire thought of everything and the labeled cabinets were brilliant. We would definitely stay there again and would gladly rent other properties from Claire. It was a magical weekend!

Our stay was wonderful, our guests were so impressed with the property and how meticulous everything was. Claire went above and beyond to make our special day so perfect. Our families stayed at the house and it was great to all be together but to also all have space. The master bathroom is spectacular. Claire put so much thoughtful attention to each room.

Wonderful for groups
Our party of 16 enjoyed this expansive property during our stay. There was plenty of room for the adults and children to have their own space. The pool was perfect and we spent a lot of time there. The pond looked a little low so we did not venture out on the boat. Claire was very communicative and the house had everything labeled, which made navigating the large kitchen super easy. The recycling and compost was a lot to manage though. Would definitely come back again!

Perfect weekend at “private resort”
Our family - my wife and I, our three adult daughters and their partners and five grandchildren had a completely delightful stay. The house is beautiful, beyond charming, so well-appointed in every respect. The layout of the house provides an ideal combination of separate space for sleeping or quiet time and convenient areas for group gatherings. And the grounds! Beautifully gardened, plenty of room for wandering around the pond and the woods beyond, or just sitting and reading by the pool or any of several comfortable outdoor areas featuring Adirondack chairs or other seating. Just great. We can’t wait to return.

We swam in the pool, boated on the pond, hiked in the woods, petted the donkey and horses, and biked on the trails.

Enjoyable Family getaway
The property is great for families wanting to getaway from the hustle and bustle. Nice horses and Donkey. The pond was great entertainment catching and releasing frogs and saving fish from the overflowing pond. The technology in house is great, but very difficult to figure out. A manual with written instructions would make figuring out the house much easier. We would stay at the property again.
