Golden Harvest Estate, Estate of the Day

A bucolic 15-acre Connecticut retreat heads to auction on October 16 through Concierge Auctions. This home in Litchfield County was previously offered for $7.995 million and will sell without reserve, meaning it will sell to the highest bidder regardless of price. The live, on-site auction is being conducted in cooperation with listing agent John C. Sniffen of Litchfield Sotheby's International Realty.

"This client is committed to being the next luxury estate to sell in Litchfield County," stated Sniffen. "Not only are the property's 15 acres picturesque and expansive, but the home itself is new and exquisitely-constructed, while only a two-hour commute to New York City. "

The 7,500-square-foot home has six bedrooms and 4,500 square feet of outdoor living space. The large stone entryway that makes use of reclaimed material excavated from the property. The massive stone fireplace is the heart of the Great Room, which has 30 foot ceilings and enormous windows. The formal living room has an old-world cast iron gas fireplace, and the library offers ample seating and spectacular views of the wraparound deck. The third floor includes an office suite and the basement has more than 1,900 square feet of space for indoor entertainment, including an exercise room and theater. Another 30-foot covered fireplace of New England fieldstone is the centerpiece for the porch and provides a way to stay warm while enjoying the view of rolling green hills.
