A rare opportunity to acquire this premier estate set in a 31.79 -acre private park offering extraordinary peace and privacy just an hour from NY city. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac close to New Canaan center. A stone wall with gated entry marks the approach to an entrance framed by brick walls.The stately slate roofed 1938 white-washed brick Georgian designed by Harold Reeve Sleeper sits at the crest of the property overlooking a pond surrounded by meadows, and sweeping vistas of the great lawn. Formal walled gardens, courtyards and a terraced pool surround the main house. An oval entry opens to a perfectly proportioned living room and sun room offering warmth and expansive views. There are six bedrooms, seven full and three half baths, five fireplaces, and a three car garage. A 2400 sq ft cottage with garage is an ideal guest house, musician's or writer's studio.
