Welcome To Fairfield County Find the perfect sanctuary for you and your family in the peaceful heart of Connecticut. Surrounded by the beauties of nature, yet only 72 miles from Manhattan, you will have it all! The home is a short walk to Paugussett State Park and Lake Lillinonah, where one can trail ride horses, hike, bike, boat, waterski or fish.

Located in Fairfield County, Newtown is known for its artistic community, rich history and 100-foot flagpole in the middle of town. Embracing 60.38 square miles amid the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, Newtown’s sparsely populated, rolling woodlands encompass Fairfield County’s largest township.

The region is dotted with beautiful family farms, pastures and equestrian facilities. The estate is nestled in between the charming towns of Redding and Roxbury. These welcoming communities retain the classic architectural features of old New England, with quaint villages made up of whitewashed church steeples, luxurious boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and charming inns.

Cultured New Haven, home to Yale University, and bustling Hartford, the state capital, are both reached in under an hour. And for the ultimate big-city experience, hop a train from Danbury, just 15 minutes away, to NYC’s Grand Central Station.

Located at 13 Silver City Rd., Newtown, CT, this private 7.4-acre estate will be offered for live auction on Tuesday, August 12th at 2 PM.

Fairfield County Estate The home’s location, amenities and quality are that of a fine resort. Set on 7.4 acres, 13 Silver City Rd., in Newtown, CT is a very special place. The driveway winds around through the woods, past the pond and the fountain to approach this beautiful solid brick home. Surrounded by meticulously kept, mature landscaping, the rest of the world melts away when you arrive.

The home has been painstakingly remodeled and improved since the homeowner purchased it in 2004. A completely modern kitchen, luxurious master suite, top-of-the-line gunite pool and impressive riding arena are just a few of the improvements made to this magnificent estate.

So whether you’re swimming in the indoor heated pool, relaxing in the master suite with private balcony, cooking on professional-grade kitchen appliances, or entertaining by the patio’s stone fireplace... you’ll love living here 365 days a year.

The architecture lets in the light — and the serene forest views — at every opportunity, while bestin-class finishes such as mahogany, granite and Jerusalem marble add a sophisticated ambiance.
