About the Home

Handsomely set on two private, resort-like acres, this timeless Nantucket-style residence offers the feel of a secluded family compound. Adjacent to a 21-acre wildlife preserve along the west bank of the Saugatuck River, the setting invites fishing by the river and peaceful walks along scenic trails through the surrounding natural landscape. Custom built by celebrated architect Tim Geitz, the home blends classic design with modern comfort across four levels, all served by elevator. The open floor plan is filled with natural light and thoughtfully designed spaces, including a striking two-story glass-walled home office with fireplace and a beautifully appointed library. A chef's kitchen with breakfast room flows to a spacious four-season sunroom and out to terraces, outdoor kitchen, pool and spa; ideal for effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The serene primary suite features a private balcony overlooking the tranquil grounds and a luxurious spa bath with heated floors and jacuzzi. Additional amenities include a third-level media room, state-of-the-art fitness studio and walk-out lower level with billiards, bar and an impressive 500-bottle wine cellar. Whole-house generator. A private retreat that feels miles away, yet minutes to the centers of Westport, Weston and Wilton.
