3.4 ACRE LAKEFRONT ESTATE
Welcome to Heritage Landing on Sugden Reservoir

Discover a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a private 3.4-acre lakefront estate with 175 feet of pristine shoreline on tranquil Sugden Reservoir. Thoughtfully restored and meticulously landscaped, this remarkable property captures the essence of classic New England craftsmanship paired with the modern luxuries today’s lakefront buyers desire.

Originally built in the 1760s, this timeless colonial farmhouse has been fully renovated from the ground up while honoring its historic roots. Every detail tells a story, from the original hand-hewn beams and wide-plank hardwood floors to the updated gourmet kitchen designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and an open-concept design create a warm and inviting space with expansive water views as your backdrop.

The home features eight rooms, including three spacious bedrooms and three full baths. The primary suite spans the entire top floor, offering the ultimate private retreat with a spa-inspired bath, and sweeping, unbroken views across Sugden Reservoir. Each additional bedroom showcases natural light and charm, while modern baths and updated mechanicals ensure worry-free comfort.

The living and dining areas seamlessly open to the outdoors, creating a natural connection to the lake. Step outside to relax on the deck overlooking manicured gardens or follow the landscaped pathways down to your private dock. From morning coffee by the water’s edge to evening sunsets reflected across Sugden Reservoir, every moment here celebrates the beauty and peace of true waterfront living.

Adding even more flexibility is a fully converted 1850’s era barn, a striking complement to the main residence. This detached structure includes two large studio or office spaces, 1.5 baths, and its own spacious deck overlooking the gardens. Perfect for a home business, art studio, or extended family accommodations, the barn offers endless possibilities for both work and leisure.

The property’s lush grounds are a gardener’s dream, filled with mature specimen trees and vibrant plantings that change beautifully with the seasons. Includes a large and unusual collection of Japanese maples, ornamental evergreens, tree peonies, herbaceous peonies, hostas, raspberry and blackberry patch, raised vegetable beds and an orchard of apples, peaches and pears. A multi-zone irrigation system features an array of spray heads powered by lake water and a separate drip system for flower and vegetable bed irrigation. Dry stone walls and paths, several shade gardens and paths through fields down to the waterfront are a few of the highlights.

Whether you are strolling through the gardens, relaxing on the waterfront lawn, or enjoying the views from your private deck, every inch of this property is designed to bring you closer to nature.
