34 Old Northfield Road
Litchfield Connecticut

Description:

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to customize a country compound in the Borough Village of Northfield on 9.89 acres of level pasture with wooded border, stone outcroppings and pond. It is surrounded by well-cared-for historic homes and a short walk to the heart of the village of Northfield, which was established in the late 1700s and originally known as "Meetinghouse Hill". This legacy property was a registered dairy farm through the late 17th and 18th centuries, and it has been part of the same family for four generations. Enter the circular driveway over a pastoral field. The large hand-hewn chestnut post-and-beam Old English dairy barn is the helm of the five structures. Four of the five structures have metal roofs, two with standing seams. The main house roof was replaced in 2023. An 18 ft deep clear water pond sits in roughly the center of the property. The 2 story guesthouse/accessory building has a kitchen, living room overlooking the field, and private deck. The main house, at the top of the driveway, requires total renovation. Rarely does such a property become available, offering so many desirable features: flat open land surrounded by the privacy of a wooded border, significant frontage with two driveway entrances, and a fishing pond- all in a walkable and beautiful historic village setting. RR zoning with many permitted and special exceptions uses. See RR Zoning doc in supplements.
