About the Home

BEST & FINAL by Monday, May 4th at 12:00PM. Tucked within a charming private enclave in Wilton, this architect-designed retreat by Rob Sanders offers a welcome sense of calm, privacy, and everyday escape. Set on two beautifully manicured acres, the home feels like a personal sanctuary, where light pours through oversized windows and natural scenery becomes part of every room. Thoughtfully designed for relaxation, entertaining and connection, the open living spaces flow effortlessly, anchored by a chef's kitchen with Wolf, SubZero, and Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and a soaring cathedral ceiling. Whether hosting or unwinding, the atmosphere is warm, airy, and serene. Five spacious bedrooms - including three en suites, offer comfort and flexibility, while four fireplaces add cozy ambiance throughout. The primary suite is a true escape, featuring a private sitting room, custom walk-in closet, and a tranquil bath with radiant heat, soaking tub, and separate shower. A separate-entry en suite is ideal for a guest suite or a private office with a panoramic wooded view. Outdoors, the experience continues: bluestone patio, fire pit, gated vegetable garden, outdoor shower and expansive meandering lawn create a magical setting, while a clubhouse, playscape, and zip line ensure endless fun in a safe, secluded environment. Enjoy access to Wilton's top-rated schools, nearby towns, and Metro-North-offering seamless access to NYC while preserving the peace of your own private retreat
