Elevate Your Lifestyle on a Hilltop Masterpiece of History and Luxury. Discover an unparalleled living experience at a 30-acre waterfront estate perched atop the serene landscapes of the lower Connecticut River, with natural physical barriers that provide security and protection. This masterpiece, designed by architect Alfred Hopkins, is not just a home but a private sanctuary enriched by nature's beauty and history. A Storied Legacy. Host to figures like Albert Einstein and Katharine Hepburn, its rich history adds a layer of grandeur. Exquisite Residences. The main chateau features 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and has undergone a meticulous 5-year renovation, blending modern luxury with timeless elegance. The 1820s guest house, with 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, is a charming retreat. Unmatched Amenities. A new 3-bay garage and spacious tobacco barn cater to hobbyists and entertainers. The private dock accommodates a 36' Hinckley, providing safety with access to the river and Long Island Sound. Nearby marinas suit larger vessels. Strategic Location. Centrally located between New York and Boston, it's also a short drive from world-class entertainment and airports. Own this rare blend of history, luxury, and nature. Total BR count for home does not include the guest residence. Welcome to 'Highover."
