Discover a vast 54-acre canvas of unparalleled natural beauty in southern Sherman, CT, just 1 hr 15 min from NYC. Offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, this pristine land on Chapel Hill Road has remained untouched since the 19th century farming days, showcasing breathtaking natural beauty. This dynamic property presents various possibilities, whether you envision a SPRAWLING PRIVATE ESTATE, a FAMILY COMPOUND, or take advantage of the APPROVED 13-LOT SUBDIVISION with a roughed in path which can be used to establish a town road or private driveway, offering flexibility for the new owners.
The D-shaped property features a unique layout, partially bordered by Glen Brook flowing through Land Conservancy holdings, which embrace the property and provides a 35-acre buffer of open space. At the heart of the land lies a level hilltop, ideal for an astounding home site with the potential for views. Situated in a sparsely developed community with a country estate vibe, the property boasts stone walls and game trails crisscrossing the landscape. Unlike many other forests in the region, this land stands out for its absence of invasive plants, enhancing its natural allure. Small wetlands along the hillside feed tumbling rivulets that flow to Glen Brook.
The approved subdivision not only provides development options but also strategic opportunities for donating or conserving lots, offering flexible tax benefits into the future.
This property is not just a land investment; it's a chance to create a private major estate or sub-division within easy reach of NYC. Enjoy access to Candlewood Lake, CT's largest lake from the Sherman Town Beach and less than 5 min to Lake Mauweehoo Club. A quick jaunt to Pawling, NY and a mere 15 minutes to the vibrant village of Kent, CT. 5 mins to 350 acres of hiking trails at Deer Pond Farm. Multiple golf courses and catch & release fishing spots in close proximity add to the appeal of this offering. Numerous Fairfield county & Litchfield county day and boarding schools (plus legendary summer camps) are within striking distance. Sherman has been recognized three times as The Best Small Town in Connecticut by Connecticut Magazine.
