5 bedroom House For Sale: New Canaan

Relax and unwind at New Canaan's Lambert Farm, where serenity and entertainment meet on the banks of the Five Mile River. The property includes a gracious main house accompanied by three separate and unique buildings: a studio retreat, a guest house and "The Barn". (2014 Best of Houzz Design Award, 2007 Builder’s Choice Award).

The 4/5 bedroom Main House underwent a complete renovation to add an additional kitchen to the front of the house near the family room and solarium. The original kitchen was replaced with custom cabinetry and now serves as a butler kitchen adjacent to the dining room. Appliances include 3 Sub Zero refrigerators, a Viking range, and Jotul fireplace inserts. First-floor guest room with bath is nearby. Wide board antique pine floors line much of the main level. The warmth of the solarium is enhanced by radiant heat under African Slate floors. The second floor includes two bedrooms and a master suite. An office/au-pair suite with full bath sits atop the attached garage. For the wine enthusiast, a wine cellar and sipping room hideaway can be found in the basement by following the terra cotta tiles through the wrought iron gates.

The Barn restoration houses a full kitchen, full wet bar, game room and two bedrooms which sleep 6/8, crowned with a cupola for additional light. This is the ultimate in entertainment space, suitable for black-tie galas or square dancing. Copper counters and soapstone sinks are surrounded by period farm implements used as hardware and wall decorations. Original lumber and horse stalls were preserved and smartly incorporated into the restoration to maintain the character and history of the original farm. The piece de resistance of the barn is a 20 foot silo which has been dramatically converted into a copper spa surrounded by radiant heated walls and high windows to let in natural light while maintaining privacy.

A Guest House with bedroom, kitchen, bath & living room with stone fireplace and covered front porch overlooking the river provides a separate retreat for visiting family and friends.

The Studio can be an artist studio, office, or library. It has a 14 foot vaulted ceiling and built-ins, hardwood floor, heat, air conditioning and WI-FI.

The 2.6 acre property is bordered by 2.4 acres of Land Trust, the Five Mile River and the original Manor house on the hill above. This river valley is home to wide-mouth bass & wild turkeys. It is a bird watching paradise. In addition, there is a sport court for pickle ball and basketball, perennial gardens, stunning stone walls, stone steps and many stone sculptures.

All this is waiting for you along with the sophisticated town of New Canaan, its award-winning schools, celebrated restaurants, boutique shopping and express train to NYC.
