About Property

Historic Canaan Parish Gem! Originally built in 1775, this remarkable property began it's life as a working barn on a local farm in the heart of Canaan Parish. Originally the "hopeful" site of downtown, New Canaan was instead incorporated in 1801 less than a mile down the road. Over the centuries, the house has evolved with grace and character - from private squash court to a warm and inviting family home. Later additions of a horse barn and charming cottage continued to add depth to the story. Set amid beautifully landscaped gardens, the grounds offer a tranquil retreat just a short stroll from downtown New Canaan. A root (and wine) cellar nods to the home's agrarian past, while the thoughtful blend of period architecture and modern updates creates a residence that is both steeped in history and full of life. This is more than a home, it's a living piece of New Canaan's heritage, offering a rare opportunity to own a property of enduring character and timeless appeal.
