Rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind mountaintop custom retreat near Candlewood Lake. Completely renovated in 2022, this exceptional home combines outstanding craftsmanship, premium materials, and modern efficiency in a peaceful, private setting just two minutes from the marina and public boat launch, with ample space to store your boat and lake toys on your own property year-round. The true showpiece is the impressive 49' x 22' two-story barn/workshop, an incredible space for car collectors, contractors, woodworkers, artists, hobbyists, home-based businesses, or recreational storage. Built in 2005, it features separate electrical service, oversized four-bay garage including a high-bay with vehicle lift, propane heat, drive-up second-floor workshop, office, loft, and endless possibilities. Inside, the home showcases custom millwork using locally sourced Connecticut wood, solid wood doors, a restored circa-1880 chestnut and stained-glass front door, radiant heated floors, central air, central vacuum, natural stone and a dramatic stone fireplace and wood stove. Thoughtfully designed with a 50 year metal roof, Western Red Cedar siding, premium Thermopane windows, low-VOC finishes, and wired for a generator. Mature hardwood trees provide cool summer shade, while the elevated setting offers spectacular seasonal views and abundant natural light through expansive glass. Ideal as a full-time residence or weekend lake retreat, this is far more than a home, it's a lifestyle property
