Litchfield, CT

Hillside estate blends refined design with natural beauty.

Perched on a 20-acre hillside with sweeping views of Litchfield Center and the distant New York hills, this private estate embraces its natural surroundings with refined elegance. A meandering drive winds through mature woodlands, opening up to a welcoming cobblestone entry court framed by stone walls and layered plantings. Along the rear of the home, a generous outdoor terrace provides a seamless connection to the landscape, overlooking a dramatic stone-and-boulder waterfall that cascades gracefully down the slope. Below, a lower terrace offers a secluded retreat anchored by a spa and outdoor fireplace. Carefully curated plantings, including a collection of distinctive specimen trees, bring texture, color, and seasonal interest to the site, enhancing this hillside sanctuary while harmonizing with the natural setting.
