Academic or yearly rental. Tucked at the end of a winding, tree-lined road, the property offers rare privacy and a peaceful Litchfield County escape. Originally a 19th-century barn, the home has been beautifully reconstructed as a warm, design-forward retreat. Reclaimed barnwood, hand-hewn beams, and wide-plank floors preserve its character, while soaring ceilings and modern finishes create bright, comfortable living spaces. The dramatic great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling, double sided, fieldstone fireplace and large windows that bring the surrounding landscape inside. A sleek kitchen with integrated appliances, induction cooktop, and generous island opens to the living and dining areas, making summer gatherings effortless. A sunken den offers a cozy spot for movie nights or quiet afternoons. Four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths include a ground-floor primary suite. In a striking architectural detail, the home’s bathrooms are housed within the original silo, with a charming lofted nook at the top-perfect for reading or remote work. Enjoy the outdoors-by the heated Gunite pool and spa, large screen porch & a surrounded by five private acres of lawn and woodland set high on a hill with distant views of the rolling Litchfield Hills. Minutes from Bantam Lake, White Memorial Conservation Center, and the shops and restaurants of Litchfield, Bantam & New Preston. The Bantam Barn is a private and memorable summer retreat in the heart of the Litchfield Hills! Perfection!
