About this home
Some properties are simply beautiful. Reverie Farm is something rarer — a place that feels conjured rather than built, the kind of estate you half expect to vanish if you blink. Set on more than one hundred acres across the highest, most private ground in Litchfield County, Connecticut, the land climbs over 1,200 feet in elevation through four distinct tax parcels, several of which stand as estate-quality building sites in their own right. In every season, the setting reads like the opening pages of a story — mist over the gardens, light through ancient trees, a house that seems to have grown out of the hillside and then leapt of the pages of your childhood’s favorite English fairy tale.
At the heart of it all is the 1799 Main House, a rare and masterful convergence of Federal, Dutch Colonial, and Shingle Style architecture — three distinct traditions woven together with such effortless confidence that the result feels less like a blend of styles than a style of its own. Steep gables and shingled surfaces meet Federal symmetry and Dutch-influenced form, and the effect is genuinely enchanting: a house that unfolds in surprises, each room and detail revealing another layer of its centuries-long story. Despite its scale — nearly 7,000 square feet, seven bedrooms, five full and two half baths, a run of ancient fireplaces, and a storied "pub" believed to be the oldest surviving part of the house — Reverie Farm remains remarkably intimate, more like a beloved character than a monument.
The grounds carry their own enchantment: a Gunite pool tucked into mature gardens, a tennis court, and a canopy of old trees that have clearly been standing watch for a very long time. A generous constellation of outbuildings — a guest house, a separate dance studio with apartment, and an antique barn — rounds out the property's storybook sprawl.
That barn has its own chapter. It once served as the studio of American Abstract Expressionist painter Cleve Gray, who lived at Reverie Farm with his wife, the celebrated journalist and novelist Francine du Plessix Gray. Theirs was a home that drew in some of the era's great creative minds — architect Marcel Breuer and novelist Philip Roth among those known to have spent time here — while statesman Henry Kissinger and landscape painter Eric Sloane lived nearby. Reverie Farm's history isn't just architectural; it's cultural, a rare property where art, literature, and design intersected for decades.
The many additional structures lend themselves easily to art studios, gymnasiums, offices, or party barns, offering the next owner as much creative latitude as inspiration. Reverie Farm sits conveniently near Lake Waramaug, with beach access, and the Mayflower Inn, with an easy drive to the private schools for which Northwestern Connecticut is renowned.
