About This Property
Presenting “Fox Hollow Farm,” a remarkable country estate nestled in the heart of Weston, one of Connecticut’s most highly desired communities. This one-of-a-kind, refined Farmhouse offers an idyllic and serene lifestyle, with the modern ease and convenience that the surrounding area provides.
Character abounds across 4,900 square feet of expansive and comfortable living space, incorporating unique and sophisticated finishes, wide plank floors, glass doorknobs, and exposed post and beam construction, with all of the modern amenities including high-end appliances, a generator, solar panels, radiant floors, and sound system.
A cornflower blue Dutch door welcomes you inside, where you’re immediately enveloped by the luxurious feeling this home emits. Originally built in 1935, architecturally stunning additions and impeccable renovations effortlessly blend with historic charm and warmth throughout to create an extraordinary living experience, with no detail left unturned.
The sunny dine-in kitchen is the heart of the home, with a large breakfast banquette for comfortable family meals, expansive granite island with seating, three generously-sized pantries, built-ins, farmhouse sink, gas range, steam oven, refrigerator drawers, open shelving, and incredible views of the picturesque property. The connected formal dining room provides plenty of room to host elegant gatherings under the gorgeous anaglypta wallpaper ceiling, while a cozy living room with wood-burning fireplace and built-ins leads to the wrap-around covered stone porch. An oversized family room showcases the soaring, timber-beamed ceiling, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and French doors leading to the patio. Working from home? The home office tucked off of the family room behind glass pocket doors provides a quiet retreat with built-ins and natural light. A convenient mudroom off of the attached 2 car garage, walk-in closets throughout the first floor, and updated powder room complete the main level.
Ascend one of two staircases to the second level where you’ll find five generous bedrooms, offering room for the whole family and extended guests to relax and unwind. The impressive, spacious primary bedroom suite presents a wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closet, and built-ins beneath the canopy of the barrel ceiling. Enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the birds chirping on the covered balcony, overlooking the peaceful backyard.
The updated bathroom has a free-standing tub, steam shower, water closet, and vanity station. A secret meditation or reading room sits serenely at the top of the turret, providing a peaceful hideaway overlooking the landscape.
Four additional bedrooms include a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, one bedroom with access to an updated hall bathroom, and two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, and a connecting jack-and-jill bathroom. Plenty of storage space and the laundry room can also be found on the second floor. Pass by the charming window seat and bookshelves to the second staircase where you’ll find yourself back in the kitchen.
Outside, a scenic and tranquil oasis awaits with almost 2 acres of private and level property surrounded by a cedar fence and stone walls, setting the stage for outdoor entertaining. The heated, saltwater gunite swim spa provides a respite on hot summer days while the Jacuzzi and outdoor shower offer relaxation. Picture hosting gatherings with family and friends on the wrap-around covered porch draped in wisteria, dining al fresco on the stone patio, and gathering around the fire pit to toast marshmallows under the starry sky as the day comes to a close.
A chicken coop, farm pen, and organic garden present ample opportunities to embrace nature and animals, while the playhouse and tree house invite magical memories to be made. The farm also produces a few gallons of maple syrup each year from the 35 tapped Sugar Maples with the help of the sugaring evaporator nestled into the southern hillside near the tapped maples.
A meandering forest trail, accessed directly from the property, connects to the neighboring 60 acre Bisceglie-Scribner Park, with its swimming pond, baseball fields, playground, walking trails, and future pickleball courts, and provides calming views of the East Saugatuck River before reaching Cobb’s Mill Pond. Located just a few minutes’ drive to acclaimed Weston schools, this special home offers a serene and bucolic lifestyle, with convenient access to Weston’s town center, as well as surrounding shops, restaurants, commuter options, and neighboring Westport beaches.
