About the Home

Set on a secluded hillside with panoramic views of Candlewood Lake, this extraordinary direct-waterfront retreat in Danbury offers a rare combination of privacy, breathtaking scenery, and resort-style outdoor living-all less than 90 minutes from NYC. Surrounded by towering trees with no visible neighbors to the left or right, the property feels like your very own personal oasis immersed in nature. Designed to capture sweeping, unobstructed lake views from every room, the home's elevated position showcases spectacular scenery from every level. Enjoy multiple outdoor vantage points for entertaining and relaxing, including a brand-new deck, an expansive patio, a covered under-deck lounge with ceiling fans, a private deep-water dock, and a lakeside terrace with kayak and water toy storage. Completely turnkey and move-in ready, the home has been extensively upgraded with designer finishes and modern improvements throughout. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of birds and wildlife, while boating enthusiasts can enjoy direct access to the lake. Plus, Danbury's Fourth of July fireworks show is framed perfectly from anywhere on the property. With its stadium-like lake views, exceptional privacy, and endless possibilities to further expand outdoor terraces or simply enjoy the years of thoughtful stewardship already invested into this one-of-a-kind waterfront estate, this is a truly rare opportunity to own one of Candlewood Lake's most special properties.
