183 Great Hill Road 1, Ridgefield, CT 06877

One of the largest private parcels of land in Ridgefield, the 46 acre estate of Sugar Hill is only an hour from Manhattan & offers the perfect lifestyle for a full time or weekend residence. Complete with indoor & outdoor pools, a tennis court, sprawling manicured lawns, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath guest house, & a marvelous manor home with staff quarters, the property also offers 11 garage spaces for the car collector & a greenhouse for the botany enthusiast. Owning this estate also puts you in great company with some noted historical figures including Henry Luce - founder of Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Fortune and others- & his wife, Claire Booth Luce, Connecticut's first congresswoman, as well as Henry P Kraus - a rare book dealer whose collection included a Gutenberg Bible & a first printing of the Constitution! Supremely private, the long drive through wrought-iron gates brings you to the tree-lined cobblestone courtyard of the home. With 12-foot ceilings throughout, there are also an architecturally significant number of french doors surrounding the residence, lending a sophisticated air. Grand rooms meld with cozy fireplaces & the home feels welcoming for its size. Supremely beautiful western views allow for gorgeous sunsets, & rustic stone paths criss cross the lawns. While building lots can be subdivided, the property is being sold as a single parcel. There is also 10 acres of donated open space across the road from the property, which can never be developed.
