About this home

A river runs thru it...Tucked away in a quiet Washington enclave of Smoky Hollow, this charming country property offers 14 acres along the scenic Bantam River and is adjacent to hundreds of acres of preserved land. The property enjoys grandfathered frontage just steps from the river with walking trails through the Hollow and Mount Tom State Park. This presents a unique opportunity to live in the quietude of nature in a fisherman's paradise, on the sort of riverbank where Ratty and Mole might picnic and mess about in boats. Fall asleep to the sound of tumbling water and develop a special connection to the outdoors on a peaceful country road, far away from all noise. Inside, hardwood floors and a partially finished basement provide a welcoming foundation for your vision. With hundreds of acres to explore and plenty of possibilities to make the landscape your own, this quaint home is ready for its next chapter as a secluded country getaway or a tranquil full-time residence. A rare opportunity to fully embrace living on the river's edge, just 5-10 minutes from the chic town centers of the Depot, New Preston, Bantam, and Litchfield.
