Architecture Wednesday: Maple Hill Farm

This week I went big …huge … giant … and all kinds of stunning and land and places to go and things to do and expensive.

This is Maple Hill Farm, a 10,000 square foot, 7 bedroom and 7-and-a-half-bathroom home, sitting on a hair under 50 acres in Redding, Connecticut. Now, while it’s called a ‘farm’ it really is more of a Gentleman's Farm, in that while it is also a working farm, it is also a luxurious retreat and party spot, with room for guests in the main house and all throughout the property.

At the heart of the estate is the main house, a country manor blending contemporary style with unrivaled amenities; in addition there are three antique guest homes, a state-of-the-art private recording studio and performing arts venue in one barn, a working barn, a sugar house, boat house, orchard, fields, old stone walls and a 300-foot stream with multiple waterfalls cascading into a 3-acre pond stocked with largemouth bass and brown trout.

Fishing? Oh honey, no, but perhaps a guest might enjoy it?

There are pig and chicken coops, a tennis court, a riding ring, a ballfield, horse stalls and paddocks; there are acres of riding and hiking trails through woods and open space, with carved wooden statues of A.A. Milne's beloved Winnie the Pooh characters.

Maple Hill Farm is just one hour from La Grande Apple and epitomizes refined living, luxury amenities and rustic, rugged outdoor fun.

Oh, and it can be your for $19 million.
