Reverie Farm is a rare historic estate with a rich legacy, formerly the residence of celebrated artist Cleve Gray and renowned author Francine du Plessix. Encompassing over 96 acres across multiple parcels, the property sits atop a picturesque hill, offering exceptional light and sweeping views of hay fields, ponds, gardens, and stone walls, with walking trails meandering throughout. The estate's main house, built in 1799, has been meticulously updated, combining modern luxury with historic elegance. It boasts seven bedrooms, many of them en suite, along with eight fireplaces, beamed ceilings, and wide-board floors. The main level includes a formal dining room, library, living room, and a guest suite. A screened porch opens to a heated gunite pool and patio, perfect for relaxation. The property features several distinctive outbuildings, including two apartments, a stunning three-bedroom guest house, a caretaker's residence, and Cleve Gray's artist studio-housed in a repurposed cow barn with a soaring open space. Francine's private writer's studio sits just across the driveway, offering a tranquil workspace. Outdoor amenities include a quick ride to Lake Waramaug, a tennis court, gardens, fruit trees, and a newly added wood-shake roof on the main house, with metal roofs on outbuildings. Reverie Farm is ideal for those seeking both privacy, adventure and serenity, with each corner of the estate echoing a legacy of creativity and refined country living.
