A Private Country Estate in Redding, CT
Set on just over two private acres in Redding, CT, this updated Fairfield County estate offers more than 5,300 square feet of living space designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Centered around a heated gunite pool, detached guest house, and beautifully landscaped grounds, the property balances the scale of a full-time family home with the atmosphere of a private countryside retreat.
Inside, a traditional layout unfolds across multiple gathering spaces, including a library, home office, formal dining room, and a soaring family room filled with natural light. The eat-in kitchen sits at the heart of the home, while a finished lower level with its own entrance provides additional flexibility for guests, extended family, or work-from-home needs.
Just beyond the pool, a detached guest house offers a living area, kitchenette, bedroom, and loft—creating a rare opportunity for hosting visitors, accommodating long-term guests, or establishing a private studio or workspace separate from the main residence.
