About the Home
For the first time in over 80 years, one of New Canaan's most iconic estates is ready for its next steward. Perched on one of New Canaan's highest points, with clear views of the Manhattan skyline, this classic Georgian home overlooks 10+ acres of lush lawn, gardens, orchards, a beautiful pool and an artist's cottage. Drenched in sunlight, ''Rockin' Chair Hill's'' formal and informal spaces invite both gracious entertaining and quiet reflection with well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and abundant natural light. It is difficult to overstate how rare this opportunity is-a once in a lifetime event- a chance to create new memories on one of New Canaan's most storied, gracious and admired properties, just minutes from town yet buffered by expansive land and privacy.
