Introducing Highover-a 30-acre hilltop estate overlooking the lower Connecticut River, designed by renowned architect Alfred Hopkins. With over half a mile of frontage, this property offers one of the most private and naturally protected waterfront settings in Connecticut, along with direct access to Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The estate has welcomed legendary visitors, including Albert Einstein, Katharine Hepburn, a former President, and William Gillette. The 5-bedroom, 8-bath chateau underwent a five-year renovation that preserved its timeless architecture while introducing modern comforts. A newly built 3-Bay garage and a spacious tobacco barn provide endless opportunities for hobbies, collectibles, or sporting activities. The dock accommodated the owner's 36' Hinckley Picnic Boat, while larger vessels can be moored at nearby Hamburg Cove-renowned as one of the East Coast's premier hurricane refuges. For yachts over sixty feet, full-service marinas are conveniently located at the river's mouth. The sale is subject to final lot line adjustment. The guest house and a small portion of the land is to be split off and retained by the sellers.
