Timeless Cape Cod Charm on 37+ Acres at the Foot of Shatterack Mountain
Discover the perfect blend of classic New England charm and modern comfort in this exceptional Cape Cod-style home, nestled in a truly storybook setting at the base of Shatterack Mountain. Set on over 37 private, wooded acres, this tranquil retreat is accessed by a scenic bridge crossing White Creek, offering complete seclusion and breathtaking natural surroundings reminiscent of a Currier & Ives print.
Crafted in 1985 by renowned builder Mark Breen and inspired by a 300-year-old Connecticut Cape, this home is a showcase of thoughtful design and enduring quality. From the cedar siding and wide plank wood floors to the wood-burning fireplace and classic crown moldings, every inch of this home reflects timeless craftsmanship and historic character.
Despite its traditional aesthetics, the home is built for modern living. 6-inch studs and superior insulation ensure energy efficiency and year-round comfort. Hot water baseboard heating is supplemented by a mini-split system for heating and cooling, and an automatic generator provides backup power and peace of mind.
Inside, the home offers approximately 2,300 square feet of living space, with six spacious sunlit rooms, including 2.5 baths and an attached two-car garage. Large picture windows invite in natural light and offer serene views of the surrounding landscape, creating a sense of calm and connection to nature in every room.
A solidly constructed barn, once a sugar house, adds tremendous value and versatility. It includes a fully insulated room with power and water, making it ideal as a workshop, artist’s studio, or hobby space.
