295 Chemin Smith Hill

Introducing Turkey Hill You only have to stand at the edge of the property, framed by stone walls and century-old trees, to know this is a special place. Beyond the stone pillars, down a crushed-stone driveway, you’re led into a true country farm estate. The main house, substantial barn, multi-car garage, pool, and tennis court give you a multitude of reasons not to stray far from this retreat on the weekend. Let’s dive in, shall we? The main house is all you could ever want in a circa 1767 farmhouse. The attention to detail and preservation here is unmatched. Wide-board floors stretch throughout, large stone fireplaces anchor the rooms, and a Dutch door is just one of the many special details woven into this home. It’s clear from its inception that this house was meant to be a place to gather. From the moment you enter through the mudroom - it’s the country, after all - the home balances both ease and grace beautifully. Spacious and well-lit, you’ve never felt so fabulous removing muddy shoes. Step into the family room, whose sole purpose is to capture guests and have them stay awhile. The kitchen flanks the space with ample counter room. The Taj Mahal quartzite counters will make you pause and notice their beauty and uniqueness. This is a kitchen where serious meals can be prepared, with guests within earshot in the cozy living room or gathered at the casual dinner table.

A wood-burning fireplace in the kitchen ensures no one strays far. Off the kitchen, a spacious half bath and back pantry area. Complete with wine fridge and additional sink round out the space. It may take some convincing, but once you get your guests to relocate to the dining room, they’re in for a whole new experience. Old-world touches like the painted checkerboard wood floors are the epitome of New England country charm. After a candlelit dinner, move to the living room and take your pick of after dinner activities. A large wood-burning fireplace centers the space. Spend your evening challenging friends to a game of chess, or simply retire in front of the fire and nod off to the buzz of conversation around you. The library provides an excellent spot for the morning paper and some coffee, with yet another fireplace. This is the type of room people will excitedly claim as ”theirs.” Don’t worry - if you were too slow to the draw, there’s yet another space that works beautifully as an office or sitting area. Upstairs unravels like a good book. Meandering, yet thoughtful. Four bedrooms, each with their own distinct personality, are serviced by three bathrooms. A primary suite with soaring ceilings completes the floor, featuring an attached bath with a clawfoot soaking tub. Outside beckons. Set on 8 acres, the property unfolds beyond the house. Starting with the large red barn, which includes space for entertaining, horse stables, an unfinished second floor, a potting area, and ample storage. The barn opens onto a lawn that leads you to the sport court: pool and tennis. The pool does a beautiful job of giving you the sense of total and complete privacy while being only a moment from the house, surrounded by mature plantings and century-old trees. Should you feel the call for additional land, across the street is 26 acres of unspoilt land with breathtaking views with gentle rolling hills in the distance is available separately. Colebrook offers an elevated country experience - unspoiled and gracious, while only a short drive to local treasures like Tanglewood or nearby skiing. Modern amenities like Whole Foods and shopping are a quick hop to Canton, while the quiet country magic of the Litchfield Hills remains at your fingertips.
