Some places change the way you spend your time. Bloomsbury Ridge is one of them. Set high along scenic Long Ridge Road, this extraordinary 80-acre estate offers a rare world of privacy, beauty and possibility, yet remains remarkably connected to everything beyond its 80 acres. The magnificent country house was designed to be elegant without formality, with a soaring two-story library, richly detailed Great Room, five bedrooms, multiple fireplaces and spaces that invite both quiet weekends and unforgettable gatherings. Outside, the property becomes a world unto itself: swim in the secluded pool, play on the red clay tennis court, wander through fields and woods, tend the orchard and vegetable garden, or create in the separate double-height artist's studio with its own kitchen and bath. There is room for generations to gather-and enough space for everyone to find a corner of their own. Approximately an hour closer to NYC than Litchfield County, Bloomsbury Ridge is about 1 hour 30 minutes from Manhattan by car or Metro-North, with West Redding station just 1.5 miles away. For private aviation, Danbury Airport is approximately 10 minutes away. Minutes from the dining, shops and culture of Redding and Ridgefield, this is country living without compromise: private, soulful and wonderfully livable. Extensive addition and remodel completed in 2006. Four parcels at 125 Long Ridge Rd, 143 and 147 Long Ridge Rd comprise 79.51 total acres (28.68, 4.80, 3.00, and 43.03 acres). The 7,892 SF main residence features 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, complemented by a separate 1,248 SF Art Studio with loft and full bath.
