Relax and unwind at New Cannan's Lambert Farm, where serenity and
entertainment meet along the banks of the Five Mile River. The Farm
includes a gracious main house accompanied by three separate and unique
buildings; a studio retreat, a guest house and "The Barn", winner of
the 2007 Builder's Choice Award for Adaptive Reuse.
The Barn restoration houses a full kitchen, pantry, game room and
two bedroom bunk lofts which sleeps 8. It is the ultimate in
entertainment space. Copper counters and soapstone sinks are surrounded
by period farm implements used as hardware and wall decorations.
Original lumber and horse stalls were preserved and smartly
incorporated into the barn to maintain the character and history of the
original farm. A good time to be had by all who visit. The piece de la
resistance of the barn is a 30 foot silo which has been dramatically
converted into a copper spun spa surrounded by radiant heated walls and
topped by a copula to let in natural light. The spa was featured by
Diamond Spa in their promotional materials.
For the wine enthusiast, a wine cellar and sipping room
hideaway can be found in the basement by following the terra cotta tiles
through the rod iron gates.
A well appointed one bedroom Guest House with full kitchen, full
bath, stone fireplace and blue stone patio provides a separate retreat
for visiting family and friends.
The Studio Retreat can be adapted to be an artist studio, office,
library or any other space that one desires. It has 14 foot vaulted
ceilings and built-in shelves, hardwood floors and has heat and air
conditioning.
All this is waiting for you along with the sophisticated town of New
Canaan, its award-winning schools, delicious restaurants, boutique
shopping and express train to NYC.
The 5 bedroom Main House underwent a complete renovation to add an
additional kitchen to the front of the house, family room and solarium.
The original kitchen was also renovated with curly maple cabinetry,
gold & silver leaf ceilings and amber fixtures, and now serves as a
butler kitchen adjacent to the dining room. Appliances include high-end
3 Sub Zero refrigerators, a Viking stove, and Jotul fireplace inserts.
Random-width, wide board reclaimed antique pine floors line much of the
main level. The warmth of the solarium is enhanced by radiant heat and
African Slate floors. The second floor includes two bedrooms and a
master suite. An office/Au-pair suite with full bath sits atop the
garage.
