High, Dry, and Private, with Sound Views


The wraparound porch takes advantage of the house’s unique setting.

This 1893 farmhouse remained in the same family for more than 100 years, and it’s easy to see why they didn’t want to leave.

Set 30 feet above sea level, it has spectacular views of Long Island Sound and Hoadley’s Marsh. But no other houses are in sight, and none can be built on neighboring properties.

That said, the purchase includes an additional building lot, 40 feet above sea level, giving the possibility of either a primary or a secondary residence.

The current owners have renovated the house throughout and have added a heated gunite pool and a barn, providing studio and guest space.

The home is in the private Old Quarry Association, which includes use of a private beach, mooring, and a tennis court. It’s a five-minute drive to the picturesque village of Stony Creek.

This home is being offered for sale by William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty for $1,895,000. For more information or a showing, contact Margaret Muir at 203-738-0202.
