The Barn
A dairy barn and its silo, converted into a 3,600 square foot house on 14.72 acres with direct frontage on the Housatonic. The frame is what you buy: hand-hewn beams carried up into cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a silo that now holds a home office, an art studio and a gym. The town's card describes the building plainly, two stories under vertical siding; the listing adds a frame on a stone foundation. Both put the year built at 1900, a round number with nothing more precise behind it; the beams make the case on their own.
Built for a Crowd
The kitchen was renovated for large gatherings: an oversized island with seating, a commercial range, double sinks and dishwashers, and a wine cellar. The dining area and lounge open onto a landscaped patio overlooking a heated in-ground pool and its cabana. The primary suite carries a sitting room, an office, two walk-in closets and a bath with a radiant heated floor. There are private guest quarters, three further updated bathrooms, a formal living room, pellet stoves and EV charging, and an in-home garage with a workbench and room for a games table.
The River
The land runs to the Housatonic, with protected land trust borders, perennial gardens, and manicured trails leading to a stream with waterfalls and the river frontage itself. This is the stretch of the Housatonic the Appalachian Trail follows between Bulls Bridge and Falls Village, on a river known for its fly fishing, and Kent Falls State Park sits on the same road at number 462. Taxes run $8,856 a year.
