IMAGINE LIVING HERE! Once upon a time, a modest A-frame was perched along Farmington's ridgeline. Now, 61 Ely Road has been transformed into an iconic stone and shingle estate commanding the most spectacular views of the Farmington Valley-stretching 78 miles into New York State. Meticulously built over 5 years (2002-2007), grounds are exquisite w/ graceful circular drive, portico entry, lush landscape & stunning backyard oasis. Step through custom mahogany doors flanked by stained glass, acorn and oak leaf motifs are woven throughout the home. Grand foyer opens to formal living and dining rooms, while phenomenal gourmet kitchen w inset cabinetry, beam ceiling, expansive island, professional six-burner dual-oven range, wall ovens, dual dishwashers, custom pizza oven-has effortlessly hosted 200 guests. Six ensuite bedrooms including a tranquil primary bedroom suite: sitting room, 2 custom walk-in closets, fireplace, private balcony, spa bath w/ Jacuzzi & steam shower. The exquisite office features fireplace, built-ins, and coffered ceiling. Hidden details abound-disappearing doors, gliding storage columns. Lower level offers gym, western saloon, and underground tunnel to the "The Club"-the reborn original A-frame, perfect for July 4th fireworks! Grounds showcase stunning stone walls, multiple patios, unique fish-shaped grotto pool and remarkable 1,800 SF climate-controlled carriage house with kitchen, bath, and six-car capacity. Two hours to NYC and Boston. Extraordinary!
