Elevated on a dramatic rise above the Connecticut River, this captivating property, aptly named "River Knoll," showcases one of the most breathtaking private settings on the river. The historic home has been featured in multiple publications such as Veranda and CTC&G for its exceptional beauty. Stunning landscape design frames every vista from the river's edge to the meticulously tended grounds that flow effortlessly into the natural surroundings. At the heart of the property is an 18th-century Cape, artfully expanded with architectural additions that honor the home's original character while delivering modern luxury. Step inside to discover the soul of the home: original hand-hewn beams, rich paneled walls, and wide-plank flooring that whisper stories of centuries past. Yet, every room has been thoughtfully enhanced with upscale improvements that marry history with today's lifestyle demands. The chef's kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry, is designed for serious cooking and effortless entertaining. Updated bathrooms throughout reflect refined taste and functionality. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with extraordinary river views that unfold in quiet splendor. Outside, the pool is a work of art, seamlessly woven into the landscape and complemented by an enchanting pool pavilion that transforms summer gatherings into unforgettable occasions. Your private dock awaits to launch a sunset cruise, wildlife watching, or an impromptu adventure with guests. A year-round stream meanders along the property's edge, adding movement and tranquility to the setting. The expansive lot offers extraordinary potential: an adjoining approved building site creates the rare opportunity to build a multi-generational family compound or add more guest accommodations or creative retreat spaces. With protected Land Trust property across the way, your views remain forever unspoiled, a timeless gift of privacy and natural beauty. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Connecticut history-simply stunning and utterly irreplaceable.
