Set on one of New Canaan's highest elevations, this iconic country estate offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, modern functionality, and understated luxury. Exquisitely restored by renowned architects Wadia Associates, the 14-room manor balances timeless design with contemporary ease. A grand reception hall introduces a sequence of formal rooms with soaring ceilings, curved glass windows, lacquered finishes, and classic French doors that open seamlessly to the outdoors. At the heart of the home, the Smallbone of Devizes kitchen with walls of Calacatta marble and top-tier appliances flows seamlessly into a light-filled family room overlooking four stunning sculpted acres. The primary wing, is a private retreat of more than 1,100 square feet, featuring a spa-style bath and expansive dressing room. Four additional en-suite bedrooms graciously complete the second floor with an additional spacious & sunny room/office on the third floor. Thoughtfully equipped as a smart home, the property places technology and convenience at your fingertips. Outside, landscaped grounds unfold with an expansive terrace, covered porch, heated pool, and cabana-an environment designed equally for quiet weekends or refined entertaining. Every detail reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and lifestyle, creating a residence that is both stately and livable. This is New Canaan at its most elevated-a rare opportunity to own a property where design, privacy, and comfort converge.
