MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION! Once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of Connecticut's premiere estates. This historical site was acquired in the early 1800's by Daniel Wadsworth, an American artist and architect, and also later by Katherine Vidal Smith, the stepmother of American writer Gore Vidal. Perched on a ridge this exceptional property sits on 115 acres with breathtaking views to the west and your very own completely private and exclusive twelve-acre mountaintop lake to the east, all of which can be appreciated from most rooms of the main estate. Built with the finest materials, the sprawling home boasts a theatrical-like setting and features exciting and finely crafted architectural elements, which can be a rarity to find this day and age. In addition to the main home are three charming stone guest houses and there are three gorgeous antique Victorian barns. The lake has a boathouse, full dock, and swimming platform. Truly an extraordinary property, conveniently located only 15 minutes to downtown Hartford, 30 minutes to Bradley International Airport, and situated between NYC and Boston.
