Property Description
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.
Three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths accommodate guests with comfort and style. The primary suite, located on the ground floor for ease and privacy, feels like a secluded sanctuary. It features a spacious walk-in closet and a serene ensuite bathroom wrapped in marble, designed for long showers, quiet mornings, and deep rest. A finished basement offers additional guest space. A defining feature of the home is its original silo, which has been artfully transformed. The bathrooms are housed here, each one a sculptural experience with natural materials and atmospheric lighting. Climb the silo stairs and you'll find a lofted office nook tucked at the top, a treetop hideaway for creative work or peaceful reflection. Outdoors, summer unfolds in slow motion. A crystal-clear in-ground pool invites long afternoons in the sun. The lawn stretches toward the horizon, offering plenty of room for play, picnics, or stargazing. And all around, the tall trees stand watch, giving the entire property a feeling of privacy and protection. Located in Bantam, just minutes from Bantam Lake, White Memorial Conservation Center, Arethusa Farm, and the shops and restaurants of Litchfield, the Bantam Barn offers the rare combination of rural seclusion and refined comfort. This is a home where time feels slower, where nature is always present, and where every space has been designed to nourish, delight, and restore. Available for July 2025, $20K/month for a single month.
