    What's special

    This offering presents an unusual opportunity to own and enjoy a stunning five-acre, turn-key, estate in one of New Canaan's most desirable locations - in town and close to everything that makes New Canaan so special. This distinguished property represents a rare combination of architectural elegance, exceptional design, and meticulous stewardship. Encompassing a beautifully appointed five-bedroom main residence, an equally refined three-bedroom guest house, and an extraordinary collection of amenities including a pool and spa, tennis court, pool house, and significant landscape and infrastructure improvements. Designed and executed to an exceptional standard by Hobbs Construction with interiors originally appointed by acclaimed designer Alexa Hampton and now professionally staged for sale. Every detail reflects a level of craftsmanship, refinement, and quality seldom found in today's market. Beautifully proportioned rooms, curated finishes, and sophisticated architectural details create a home that feels both grand and inviting. Custom millwork, bespoke lighting, upholstered walls, marble-clad baths, radiant heated floors, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces speak to a residence where no element has been overlooked and no compromise has been made. Complementing the main residence is a fully independent 1,450 SF guest cottage with its own generator, updated systems, and exceptional flexibility for extended family, long-term guests, or a private office retreat. The estate unfolds across five impeccably maintained acres, where a gated entrance, mature landscaping, extensive tree plantings, landscape lighting, irrigation, and full deer fencing create an extraordinary sense of privacy and permanence. Across from Irwin Park and bordering the trail network of the New Canaan Nature Center, the property enjoys a rare relationship with the surrounding landscape while remaining just moments from the heart of New Canaan. The result is an offering that seamlessly balances privacy and accessibility, providing the scale and serenity of a country estate with effortless access to the village, train, schools, and daily amenities. Properties of this caliber, combining renowned design, exceptional recreational amenities, and such close proximity to town, rarely become available.
