Impressive Unique Waterfront Pool Resort Country Estate

Cozy up in this beautiful 10-acre, 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom COUNTRY ESTATE for 2-20 guests, 1-1.5 hours from Boston, Hartford, Providence, and 3 hours from New York City. The property is surrounded by conservation land, which gives you total privacy.

You can swim in the saltwater pool with multiple floats, play Ping-Pong, foosball, horseshoes, Beer-Pong balls, Beanbags, and Ring Toss in the horse stall area, and paddle around the pond.

In the morning, jog in ravines and forests, hear the birds singing, visit the flower gardens, toast your marshmallows in the firepit on one of the five patios, and climb the cliffs. Grill your food or have food delivered, and eat outside admiring nature.

Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the estate's pond as you sit and read a book on the bench and observe the many frogs, turtles, and fish in the pond. You can also go for a rowboat ride and float in a tube.
There is parking on the driveway for up to 11 cars.

This smart home has its own well and septic field, solar panels, Wi-Fi thermostats, 1Gig mesh internet, motion-control dimmer switches, heat pumps, and mini splits.
The excellent drinking water is filtered through the whole house by several carbon and sediment filters, an iron filter and UV light for any bacteria and viruses.
No salt is used on the land for water softening or as an ice melter in the winter. A product called Ecotraction ( volcanic sediment) is used to de-ice the driveway.

No insecticide or herbicide is used on the property. Many flowers are planted for their fragrance, beauty and pollinator attraction. Weeds are pulled out manually.
We compost food waste, excluding meat because it attracts animals, and separate trash ( 10%) from recycled ( 90%) as practised in our town.

You enter the house through the left garage door.
The three-car garage has been converted into a large mud and recreation room, where you can bring your luggage and groceries and leave your outside shoes.
This recreation room offers a beautiful pool view, has a piano and toys inside the cabinets, and is the perfect indoor-outdoor room during the rain.

When you enter the house from the recreation room, the ivory bathroom and black-and-white bedroom are off the hallway.
You then come to the blue family room with the gas fireplace and card games, connected to the cathedral-ceiling kitchen and the formal dining room that seats 8.
This chef's kitchen has a double oven, Keurig, Expresso, drip coffee, ice cream maker, all baking tools for cakes, cookies, and pies, various spices and condiments, utensils, and plates for 30 plus.
The bar/living room is off the dining room. It has a 55-inch Sony OLED TV and another piano. Please feel free to read any books on any subject.

As you continue walking, you will see the aqua bedroom with a full-size bed, the pink bathroom with double sinks, and the laundry /garden room.
Last, you will encounter the cathedral-ceiling master red bedroom ( 35 feet by 20 feet ) with a 65-inch Sony OLED TV, the master black-and-white bathroom with double sinks, and the cathedral-ceiling oversized jacuzzi.

In summary, the ground floor has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, which is helpful for any elderly parents or handicapped person.

The second floor has three bedrooms ( pink with a queen-size bed, yellow with two single beds, and grey with a double-size bed), an office, another family room with Karaoke, and a purple bathroom.

If you need more space, 3-4 single air mattresses can be in the red bedroom, one in the pink bedroom, 1-2 in the grey bedroom, and one in the office.

Long weekend at a country estate
We hosted 7 other family members who came in for our daughter's wedding. We had a fabulous time and the house & grounds were perfect! Claire thought of everything and the labeled cabinets were brilliant. We would definitely stay there again and would gladly rent other properties from Claire. It was a magical weekend!

Outstanding. Special.
Owner was great to work with. House was beautiful, charming, interesting, and huge. As advertised, it has everything a group needs to enjoy a stay of any length, and because there is so much to enjoy on the property and in the home, you won't want to leave. We had a family reunion here, and it was perfect.

The house is very unique, quite eclectic and fun! The pool was not open, but, the weather wasn't very cooperative either! The grounds/gardens are awesome, the property accommodated over 40 family members and everyone had a good time!

Our wonderful wedding weekend at Claire’s
Our stay was wonderful, our guests were so impressed with the property and how meticulous everything was. Claire went above and beyond to make our special day so perfect. Our families stayed at the house and it was great to all be together but to also all have space. The master bathroom is spectacular. Claire put so much thoughtful attention to each room. Thank you again for everything!! We will be back ❤️

Liked: Communication
A beautiful property, some communication issues
We stayed at this property for 2 nights and loved the big, well equipped kitchen, the beautiful yard and the animal farm that is right on the property. Communication with the property owner was a problem. While we were there, there was a power outage for a few hours and I was not able to get a hold of her. Besides that there were several more instances of miscommunication or no reply. Other than that, we had a really good time at the house.

Perfect property for wonderful wedding weekend
When my now-husband and I decided to get married at my parents house in NE CT, we hoped to find somewhere special - and close-by - to host us and our wedding party. We couldn't have asked for a better spot. It was 7 min from my parents' home, 7 minutes from the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center (where the rest of our guests would stay). We were able to host a welcome reception (casual rehearsal dinner) on Friday evening for an extra fee, and our friends/family all complimented the house/property. The staff was helpful but also hands off. There were a few maintenance issues (sediment in water, broken oven and burners, a wobbly bed, and some in-progress yard projects that were a bit unsightly) but given the general cleanliness and overall upkeep of this large property, we couldn't consider these big problems. Overall, we had a wonderful few days at the house and would definitely recommend it for others!

Fantastic Home!
We are so glad we found this place! I must say that this place was more than what we hoped for!! My husband and 3 children and in-laws stayed in this amazing home. We were a little nervous having never used VRBO before but as soon as we arrived, we knew it was the perfect place for us. As we were driving to the home, we noticed that is was a very quiet, peaceful ride through the country. As we pulled into the driveway, we received a warm greeting from the housekeeper. She welcomed us and gave us a tour of the home. As we entered the home, the first thing we noticed was how immaculate, spacious, and how wonderfully decorated it was! The huge kitchen was very clean and fully equipped. I love to cook and knew that it would be perfect for family meals. We made breakfast every morning and ate on the dining room table. From there we had a wonderful view of the back yard with patio, rock wall, beautiful landscaping. It was very peaceful. The living area had a comfortable sofa and a fantastic flat screen TV, DVD and working fireplace. Actually there were 2 living rooms, one with a beautiful wooden bar stocked with glasswear. My husband had to work on his laptop during our stay and was so happy that we had wifi. We wanted a place that the kids could also hang out and feel at home, which it definitely was. It was very kid friendly! The kids were super happy. They also provided us toys for the kids to play with (volleyball net, balls, games, bicycles etc.). Not only was the place great but so was the host! Definitely 5-star service. She was so helpful, responsive, and friendly. She answered all our questions and everything went smoothly. She was like our personal concierge as she recommended places to see, visit, shop and eat. We were very last minute guests but she made sure that we would have nothing to worry about and informed us of all the details that we needed. She even called several times to check on us and make sure we were comfortable. The housekeeper was also there to help with any questions we had. There is nothing bad that I can say about our stay here other than we hated to leave! I highly recommend this place to anyone. My sister is getting married next year and I think it would be a great place to have her wedding! I can go on and on about this place but in a nutshell, WOW!! Thank you so much for letting us stay here! We will definitely be back!!

Wonderful estate
Several friends and young children enjoyed this property for three nights and everyone loved it. The house felt very warm and welcoming and had charm throughout it. Everyone congregated around the large kitchen island for every meal and the living area was great. Outside offered options for activates, games, walking, swimming, and numerous fire pits. This is a wonderful estate for friends and family to enjoy and have enough space to suit everyone's preferences.

A marvelous property in which to relax
Claire could not have been more helpful in getting us checked into the property and showing us all the fun nooks and crannies of her beautiful house and gardens. A lovely old-farmhouse feel to the house and extensive, beautifully maintained grounds in a glorious location made for a perfect getaway. Wouldn’t change anything.

Great place for family
This place was perfect for our family reunion. We had 17 people from babies to elderly. There was more than enough room for everyone. The place is stocked with everything you could possibly need and then some. The outside spaces are what make this place truly special. The pool was immaculate, and there were tons of floaties and pool toys. They have every outdoor game you can think off. The pond is lovely, we took the little boat out to look for frogs. There is so much space for the kids to run around. There's also plenty to do if it rains. The 3 car garage is set up as an indoor play space.

AMAZING PROPERTY!!!
We booked this house at the last minute and it DID NOT disappoint. Claire, the homeowner, is so so kind. Her home is absolutely lovely. If I need to book another house for 15+ people, this will be my first choice!! The pictures do not do it justice. I highly recommend booking this property!!

Wonderful for groups
Our party of 16 enjoyed this expansive property during our stay. There was plenty of room for the adults and children to have their own space. The pool was perfect and we spent a lot of time there. The pond looked a little low so we did not venture out on the boat. Claire was very communicative and the house had everything labeled, which made navigating the large kitchen super easy. The recycling and compost was a lot to manage though. Would definitely come back again!

Perfect weekend at “private resort”
Our family - my wife and I, our three adult daughters and their partners and five grandchildren had a completely delightful stay. The house is beautiful, beyond charming, so well-appointed in every respect. The layout of the house provides an ideal combination of separate space for sleeping or quiet time and convenient areas for group gatherings. And the grounds! Beautifully gardened, plenty of room for wandering around the pond and the woods beyond, or just sitting and reading by the pool or any of several comfortable outdoor areas featuring Adirondack chairs or other seating. Just great. We can’t wait to return.
