There's a certain kind of morning here—mist rising off the pond, coffee in hand, nowhere to be. Welcome to the Colonel Dwight Wellington Pierce Farmstead, a circa 1830 Greek Revival home that captures the soul of the Litchfield Hills while embracing modern living.
This distinguished residence, listed on Connecticut's State Registry of Historic Places, commands a rise with views of mountains, conserved land, and state forest. Over 4,300 square feet of character unfolds within: original moldings, wide-plank floors, five working fireplaces, and six generously appointed bedrooms. The primary suite offers a fireplace and radiant-heated limestone bath. A thoughtfully updated kitchen opens to a sunroom and stone patio—the kind of space where Sunday dinners become family tradition.
Beyond the main house, three historic outbuildings tell their own story: a 70x30 dairy barn, a heated studio barn, and a carriage barn with horse stalls. Award-winning gardens, mature fruit trees, and a pond create a landscape that honors the past while inviting present-day living.
Listing agent William Melnick has curated a rare opportunity where heritage, natural beauty, and modern systems coexist seamlessly. What would your mornings look like here?
