PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Take a 3D Tour OR Enjoy a Video Walkthrough 24/7! Set high on 603 acres, this remarkable Move-In-Ready Franklin hilltop estate captures expansive western views extending approximately 15 miles. Built in 2001, the post-and-beam home showcases soaring timber framing, wide-plank floors, skylights, a metal roof, and a dramatic center stone double-sided fireplace. The main level includes a Primary BR, open living areas, a Kitchen with Corian counters and newer appliances, plus a sun-filled dining area. A second BR, Office, and guest Bath provide flexibility, while the unfinished walkout lower level offers excellent expansion potential. A studio/in-law apartment is located above the 3-car garage, connected to the home by a covered breezeway. Mechanical updates include a newer oil-fired boiler serving the main home's hydro-air system and an indirect hot water heater. The studio apartment has its own propane-fired direct-vent HVAC system. Existing income-producing uses include a small stone quarry/Christmas tree operation and approximately 110 acres in lush hay production. The income produces positive cash flow in excess of the property taxes and insurance. Prime CT farmland with desirable topography, limited wetlands, substantial road frontage, and multiple access points creates exceptional potential for mixed agricultural uses, including livestock, equestrian endeavors, farm-to-table operations, vineyards, and even a wedding venue. Deed restrictions limit future use to agricultural purposes rather than subdivision. Showings require proof of funds or pre-approval for financing.
