A Timeless 5-Acre Country Estate in Fairfield County for $3.8M

By Grace Cassidy A stone villa-inspired estate in Ridgefield, Conn., brings enduring opulence and grandeur to Fairfield County. Located at 15 Saw Mill Hill Road and situated on nearly five acres of land, the 8,000-square-foot residence overlooking a pond with a waterfall will instantly transport you to the European countryside. Listed at $3,795,000, the property is represented by Richard Esman and Jennifer Leahy of The Jennifer Leahy Team at Douglas Elliman. Boasting four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and three half-bathrooms, the home features custom-made mahogany doors, staircases, cabinets and bookcases throughout. The home was custom-built in 1998 with excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. “This timeless home took several years to complete,” said Esman. “A master builder constructed the home and provided the finest finishes.” In the foyer, a 26-foot vaulted ceiling is complemented by a stunning hand-cut stained-glass window depicting wildflowers. In addition to a spacious open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, the residence includes a library, three fireplaces, 5-inch wide oak flooring and soundproof mahogany Tischler windows. A 10-foot-high stone wall surrounding the home provides a touch of regal elegance. A detached three-car garage features a one-bedroom apartment, ideal for a caretaker or multigenerational living.
