Dreamy Full-Service Mansion in Salisbury

This is a storybook manor that feels like a piece of history. 406 Wells Hill Road in Salisbury sits on 71 acres in Litchfield County and is accessed via a long, tree-lined drive, something out of the world of the 1920’s Roosevelt or Astor families. An interesting detail: this 8,334-square-foot Georgian Revival was completed in 1929, just as the Great Depression struck.

This mansion has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, and opens to a double-height entrance hall with gorgeous wallpaper and paneling. There are formal entertaining rooms, a sunroom and library, and a chef’s kitchen next to a dining room that connects to an outdoor terrace. 

The primary bedroom suite includes not one but two bathrooms and dressing rooms, its own bathroom and sitting room, and private terrace. A separate wing includes a game room. 

Also on these refined grounds: a 60-by-30-foot heated gunite pool, pool house, illuminated Omni-Turf tennis court, guest house, caretaker apartments, multiple garages, utility barn, gym, wine cellar, and whole-house generator. 

406 Wells Hill Road, Salisbury, CT is listed for $8,875,000 by Elyse Harney Morris and William Melnick at Elyse Harney Real Estate.
