THE BOULDERS AND CARRIAGE HOUSE ARE LISTED FOR SALE OR RENT - either together or separate.
This iconic 7,000 square foot Boulders Lodge on beautiful Lake Waramaug is a one-of-a-kind property steeped in American history. Built 1895 by Ehrick Rossiter in the Adirondack post-and-beam style, its original owner was Nelson Mead and the residence is featured in Warren, Connecticut’s historical society ledgers. The property made a splash on the Manhattan scene the following century when it opened as a Bed & Breakfast in 1951, known as the Boulders Inn, famously attracting visitors from Manhattan, just 87 miles away, and throughout Connecticut. In 2012, it was purchased by a private owner and is now a private residence. It was totally renovated and updated in 2014 and is available furnished or unfurnished.
Very large stone boulders from the surrounding hillside provide the unique cornerstones for this classic stone and shingle home. The main house has 8 bedrooms plus an office, 7.5 bathrooms, a large eat-in country kitchen with a fireplace, a Great Room for living and dining with a fieldstone fireplace, a library with a fireplace, and a family/media room with a wet bar. The primary bedroom suite features his and her bathrooms. The property also includes three porches (one screened and two covered), a large stone terrace with a built-in BBQ grill by a trickling stream and frog pond, central A/C, and a generator.
The property boasts 200 feet of prime lake frontage with magical sunset views, a stationary dock and a 700 square foot lakeside cabin, approved for a second-floor expansion to include a small kitchen, bath, family room, etc. The total property consists of 7 deeded acres, abutting the 516-acre Macricostas Preserve (The Steep Rock Land Trust) and Pinnacle Peak, with a one-acre lawn ideal for a tennis court and/or pool. It also includes a separate guest cottage on a 4-acre parcel with potential for a 2-3,000 square foot guest or caretaker's cottage.
