187 Old Mount Tom Road | Litchfield Bantam
At the end of a winding, tree-lined road, hidden from sight by towering pines and the gentle curve of the landscape, a clearing opens and the Bantam Barn comes into view. Set high atop a hill and surrounded by nearly five acres of quiet woodland and lawn, this remarkable home is not merely a place to stay, but a place to exhale. Originally a 19th-century barn, the structure has been lovingly reconstructed and reimagined as a warm, design-forward retreat. Reclaimed barnwood, antique hand-hewn beams, and wide-plank floors bring a sense of age and authenticity, while soaring ceilings and modern finishes lend lightness and ease. The architectural language is tactile, timeless, and deeply connected to its surroundings. The heart of the home is its great room-a breathtaking open space anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace. Sunlight pours in through expansive windows, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Every detail here has been thoughtfully chosen to balance rustic texture with quiet luxury. The kitchen strikes a sleek, contemporary note with integrated appliances, an induction cooktop, and a massive island that invites both meal prep and lingering conversation. It's open to the dining area and living room, creating a natural flow that is ideal for entertaining or simply spreading out. Just beyond, a sunken den offers a more intimate space for movie nights or reading by the fire, tucked away, yet connected. SmartMLS 24091790
