Selden Farm, a landmark 1690s property steeped in history and set in a picturesque corner of Lyme, is once again available for new stewardship. Upheld by only three families since 1695 when it sat on over 6,000 acres, it presents a rare opportunity to own a beautiful country Antique home now set on 9 pastoral acres abutting conservation land with sweeping views of Selden Cove and the CT. River. At its heart is a gracious and authentic 5-bedroom Colonial which exudes history, charm and character. House features include a tavern room, wide board floors, original paneling & moldings, 6 fireplaces and an abundance of windows which invite lovely views and light into each room. Adjacent to the home is a 3-bay garage with self-sufficient guest accommodation for visiting family and friends. Dotted throughout the property are a renovated barn used as a studio/office/ gym, several outbuildings, a greenhouse and sunny open meadow for animals or farming. Two privately situated guest houses (one needing renovation) are ideally suited for in-law, caretaker, or income purposes. Relax by the large saltwater pool with patio and full-service cabana or play tennis on the all-weather court. The land is open, tranquil, and beautifully sited, offering long views, privacy, and a deep sense of place. Rarely does a property combine this level of authenticity, acreage, outbuildings, and river-valley setting in Lyme. Ideal for buyers seeking history, creative space or a generational retreat.
