"Hollow Farm" - An Expansive Historic Estate Reimagined for Modern Country Living Nestled in its own private valley, this 72-acre estate includes a Main House, thoughtfully updated and expanded in 2005; a charming Guest Bungalow; screened Gazebo perched over a pond; Pool Pavilion; Stables with caretaker's apartment; and a restored Barn. Comprised of multiple parcels, offering maximum privacy. The circa-1755 Main House features a dramatic great room with stone fireplace, adjoining chef's kitchen, and formal dining room. Additional main-level spaces include both a sitting room and a library with back-to-back fireplaces, plus a guest suite with full bath and sitting room. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a lofted sitting area with fireplace, as well as private deck, while two guest bedrooms share a hall bath. The lower level includes a wine cellar with cobbled floor and a gym. Outside, multi-level terraces showcase exceptional stonework, a fire pit, grilling area, pool, and spa. Two ponds and the sparkling Merryall Brook enhance the 18 acres of open land. Extensive landscaping compliments the natural beauty of the forested hills. As with the Main House, every outbuilding and outdoor space has been meticulously maintained. Although it feels a world away, this remarkable property is only 15 minutes from Kent, New Preston, and Washington. With its historic character, modern updates and expansive private setting Hollow Farm offers a rare opportunity for refined country living
