Branford treasure returns to the market. Once a 19th-century sawmill, this storybook stone residence carries a piece of Connecticut’s heritage into an extraordinary setting: a private waterfall, tidal creek on two acres. Transformed into a home in 1939 with the original mill structure thoughtfully incorporated, it offers a convergence of history, architecture and landscape that would be nearly impossible to recreate. Within 3,000+ square feet, four original fireplaces and vaulted ceilings lend warmth and character. An eat-in kitchen, expansive great room and dining area capture nature and water views, while a fireside den and four-season porch invite quieter moments. The main level includes three bedrooms and two full baths; the ground floor adds a full bath, wine storage, a walk-in closet and two fireside flex rooms with water views, one ideal as a fourth bedroom. New central air in 2025. Stone patios, waterfall-side terraces, garden paths and a private pier draw daily life outdoors. Across from the waterfall, a water-lily pond offers a tranquil counterpoint. A second parcel across the lane holds a two-car garage and a charming two-room building with possibilities for a studio, office or guest retreat. Minutes from historic Stony Creek village and approximately two hours from New York City and Boston, this rare shoreline property offers something beyond a beautiful home: the opportunity to become its next steward.
