Welcome to Extown Farm. This 17.5 acre property is truly one of a kind offering three separate residences to accommodate a discerning buyer seeking a private compound on an extraordinary piece of land. Comprised of eight structures, the crown jewel of this estate is a 7,000 Sq Ft farmhouse, once part of New Canaan's historic farm. The main house has been painstakingly restored to the highest caliber by renowned Prutting Custom Builders in 2023. Fully equipped with all modern amenities while tastefully preserving many of the original details. The main level features a stunning new kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, adjacent to a family room with a fireplace and French doors leading to a stone patio and manicured garden. A formal living room, sitting room, office, sun room, butlers pantry and mudroom and powder room complete the main level living spaces. The upstairs houses five spacious bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a large bathroom, dressing room, and a balcony overlooking the picturesque property. The lower level offers an additional room, bathroom, ample storage, and potential for a media room and wine cellar. The large garage building includes three car bays and a heated gym area with a bath. The second floor hosts a brand new two-bedroom apartment with a large deck offering views of the bucolic park-like acreage. Across the street, an award-winning, exquisitely restored guest cottage features a sitting porch, updated kitchen, a two-story great room, and a recently added luxurious ADA-compliant bath with an attached exterior ramp entry. The adjacent barn serves as storage and includes indoor basketball hoops. Additional structures include a former stable, a two-story Hobby House ideal for an art studio or a writer's cabin, and a large barn previously used for cow milking and pig and pony housing, now primarily used for storage with a large garden and turkey shed behind. The grounds have been lovingly tended by the same garden staff for over 30 years, creating a year-round display of flowers, vegetables, color, and tranquility. The expansive property offers numerous possibilities, including agriculture, animal raising, a sprawling art and sculpture park, and ample room for a pool, pool house, and tennis court. This historically significant New Canaan property awaits a new steward to enjoy its unique and diverse lifestyle.
