Largest Private Residential Estate in Fairfield County Reduced to U.S. $19.5 Million

REDDING, CT – Deer Run, located in the desirable town of Redding, Connecticut, is the largest contiguous parcel of real estate in Fairfield County and is now being offered at a reduced price of U.S. $19.5 million. Internationally marketed by Christie’s International Real Estate, the world’s leading luxury real estate network, and presented by exclusive affiliate Neumann Real Estate, the property features more than 300 acres of pristine natural habitat as well as five individual parcels of land with subdivision opportunities, a seven-acre lake, stocked fishing pond and an English-style country manor home.

“This is the perfect opportunity for someone who values privacy over all else,” said listing agent Jane Tullo, who is co-broking the property with Karla Murtaugh, both of Neumann Real Estate. “The scenic, unspoiled land is a nature lover’s paradise, but the opportunity definitely exists for the development of infrastructure and improvements if someone so desired.”

“It is extremely rare to find such a spectacular, expansive setting in such close proximity to New York City,” added Murtaugh. “Deer Run offers a wonderfully sophisticated lifestyle for the family who has an appreciation of natural beauty, but prefers to live under the radar.”

Located in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, just over an hour from Manhattan, the grand estate features a striking stone and shingle Manor house. Spanning 16,000 square feet, the home blends a relaxed ambience with grand architecture. Outside, seven lush trails lace the grounds, imparting abundant opportunities for hunting, fishing, bird-watching, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and hiking. On the northeastern side of the property, Mirror Lake is large enough to accommodate canoes or boats, and its crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming. A boathouse with a ramp, dock and 15-foot deck sits adjacent to the lake. Miles of riding trails begin at the barn, while an apple orchard and bountiful fields framed by fieldstone walls also adorn the grounds. Indoor and outdoor heated pools as well as a tennis court, gymnasium with an indoor basketball and billiards room afford additional recreational diversions.

The home itself features a dramatic entrance hall, setting the tone for the entire residence with its compelling use of natural materials and a high wood ceiling. An immense fieldstone fireplace and three sets of French doors accent the living room. The kitchen, featuring a full butler’s pantry, flows into the breakfast area. The family room -- richly appointed with a fireplace and coffered ceilings -- a library, formal dining room, powder room, and sunroom complete the reception rooms on the main level.

On the second floor, six bedrooms and four baths open to a long hallway lined with built-ins and large windows showcase commanding views of the grounds. The palatial master suite comprises four carefully crafted rooms, brimming with natural light. An enclosed summer porch and dramatic bath with an expansive dressing room enhance the suite. Sequestered above the four-car garage, a private one-bedroom guest apartment is ideal for use as a caretaker’s wing or a studio.

A peaceful community, Redding is committed to preserving both its historical and natural resources, and this bucolic setting is perfect as a year-round or seasonal residence.
