Why Jay Carow chose Southbury
This historic home is a jewel set in a cluster of other jewels surrounded by rolling hills with a cascading river, wildlife, flowers, and stately trees. It is a wonderful place to live to live and visit if you love history, tranquility and nature. It is easily reached from Manhattan - 90 minutes by car and just over 2 hours by bus, and 50 minutes by bus from Hartford.
What makes this House unique
Of special quality are the views out to the lawns and forest from the glassed-in and sky-lighted solarium with its huge fireplace, once the summer cooking place. The room and this room and the lawns it opens onto have been used for multiple weddings, family gatherings and evants of all kinds.
The historic village's Congregational Church is across the street and worthy of a visit. Within ten minutes walk are dozens of hiking trails and a few miles away there's Woodbury, the first settlement in the area founded in 1673 and now the beginning of CT's Antiques Trail and beyond all of Litchfield County.
