Believed to date back to 1640, this is one of Connecticut's oldest surviving homes-a rare opportunity to own a piece of early New England history. Set on 8.57 private acres bordered by original stone walls, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers approximately 2,700 sq ft of living space, with graciously sized rooms, original wood details, and a cedar-lined closet. A major highlight is the dramatic 22' x 35' studio space added in the 1970s-featuring tall ceilings and abundant light-perfect for an artist, dancer, musician, or anyone seeking an inspiring workspace. Also on the property is a large detached barn with a rustic upper-level studio, once used by notable local artists. While the barn needs restoration, it includes a fireplace, loft, and lower-level storage area with a dirt floor-ideal for equipment or gardening tools. Surrounded by protected forest and located across from Beckett Hill State Park and Nehantic State Forest, this unique property offers tranquility, history, and creative potential.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
