Call it a chateau, call it a manor, or call it, more appropriately, a castle because this storied stone estate was architecturally designed in the popular "Storybook" style. Built in 1920 by New York surgeon Walton Martin and his socialite wife, the home is built from collected materials like columns from France and Italy and a 16th Century Dutch beamed, painted ceiling. The Cornwall manse has seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and three half bathrooms, and the main house has been updated with 21st Century mechanical systems. The property sits on a whopping 276 acres with  additional buildings such as guest house, potting shed, three-stall horse barn with tack room, and a chauffeur’s garage with an apartment above. It even has one of the few helipads in Litchfield County. Listed for $8.850 by William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty.
