About this property
100% ROXBURY! PoshPadsCT "SENTRY HILL" 1.5Hrs NYC,Mint 6BR, Pool, Ski, Bike, BBQ
Roxbury & Washington are the best country rural retreats within 1.5 hours of NYC - the best restaurants, shopping, land preserves, Lake Waramaug State Park & Beach, and nearby Mohawk Mountain Skiing. Perfect 6BR 3.5 Bath 4 Fire-Place home with heated pool and child's play gym on a scenic country dirt road that leads into a land preserve along the Shepaug River - perfect for walking, jogging, biking. The most desirable rural historic location within 2 hours of NYC - Roxbury and Washington CT. Home to actors, writers, artists and the owners of luxury estate vacation homes. Many world class restaurants, inns and spas. Skiing, Lake Waramaug Beaches, BBQ, farm stands and fairs, antiquing, and numerous recreational activities.
Roxbury & Washington are located in historic, rural Litchfield County, within a scenic 2-hour drive from NYC and is exceptional for its excellent restaurants, spas, antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, farms, historic homes, gardens, vineyards, distilleries, and orchards. The Gilmore Girls creator modeled Stars Hollow, the perfect Connecticut town, after Washington and the Independence Inn after the Mayflower Inn. It is the current or former home to many artists, writers, actors and Wall Street executives – referred to as "more Vermont, than Vermont" and "the un-Hamptons". Nature preserves, Lake Waramaug, and the Shepaug River offer extensive hiking, biking, and water activities. Mohawk and Sundown Ski Areas , Lime Rock Raceway, and Quassy Amusement Park are all a short drive. ExploreWashingtonCT and PoshPadsCT have the best listings of area amenities and event calendars. (Note that VRBO-HomeAway's map needs to be zoomed to really show Washington and Roxbury listings only and not homes 30 minutes away in less desirable locations.)
All of my homes in Washington and Roxbury (PoshPadsCT) are beautifully landscaped with flowering shrubs, flagstone terraces with gas bbq. And heated pools. They are furnisged with Frette pressed cotton sheets, plush towels and bathrobes, down featherbeds, comforters and pillows. Optional maid and catering and massage services are available. All homes have Central heat and AC, WiFi, flat screen televisions with dvds, cable and movie channels, and central alarms.

About the host

I am an owner/operator of luxury boutique hotels in NYC and CT. I live in Washington with my wife and 3 college age children. I enjoy restoring and renting luxury vacation rentals in Washington and Roxbury.
Why they chose this property
This home is spectacular in location, quality, yard and design! Located on a scenic dirt road but only a few minutes from Washington's activities and restaurants. Wonderful yard, play outdoor set and heated pool.
It is a pristine 6-bedroom private antique reproduction home on a scenic dirt road ideal for walking, jogging and biking along the Shepaug River. Magnificent design with antiques, art and 4 fireplaces, over-sized living room, dining room for 12, and chef's kitchen. Heated pool surrounded by endless summer hydrangea and 3 acres of lawns with a stream. The perfect location minutes from the centers of Roxbury and Washington.
