Shelterfields

Located in the heart of Fairfield County, the stunning country estate known as Shelterfields is a lush 10-acre Property that has been maintained to perfection. Six beds, six full and three half baths span the +/-8,500 sf living space, which was built in 1907, and vestiges of the original structure are visible in details like exposed beams throughout the residence. A charming foyer opens into the spacious formal living room and dining room, and the adjacent gourmet kitchen with professional-grade appliances features a center island and countertops of Carrera marble. French doors connect the kitchen to a gorgeous gardened terrace and views of the Aspetuck River (and the surrounding lands protected by a conservation easement). Two en-suite bedrooms, a large family room, and a wine cellar with storage for more than 1,000 bottles complete the main level.

Four bedrooms and multiple entertaining areas comprise the upper level, including a master suite with private balcony, walk-in closets, and a large master bath with soaking tub and separate shower. An adjacent office and entertainment room offer space to work and play, while a sitting room with fireplace provides a private place for relaxation.

A massive, 27-ft by 43-ft great room is connected to the main living areas by a short hallway, and features high-gloss wood floors, exposed wood beams, powder room and a private balcony – perfect for a music room, billiards room or “man-cave.”

Outdoors, patios covered and uncovered offer expansive views of the rolling countryside, and the estate’s grounds include a tennis court, greenhouse, fire pit, and private pond. Additionally, a Gunite pool surrounded by stone walls and carefully pruned trees features a pool house with changing room just across the motor court.
