Connecticut farmhouse featuring gardens, tennis court, guesthouse/poolhouse and plenty of land! I’m enchanted by the pathway between the trees, almost like a Jane Austen scene! There’s also coves located at the rear of property.
For only the third time in 100 years this much-admired country Estate c.1750 on one of the most beautiful roads in Lyme, CT is available.
