Country retreat with stunning views, spectacular pool, unparalleled privacy! | House in Kent
4 Bedroom House in Kent
Now taking inquiries for 2024 summer rentals. Three night minimum available in June (calendar reflects availability); July 1-31 (monthly only) and/or Aug 1 - 31 (monthly only).
Our 2,500sf home has stunning views, privacy, and plenty of room to run and a gorgeous large pool for fun in the sun!
The house includes four bedrooms to sleep 8 guests, multiple spaces to set up a home office and 10 acres of very private yard and fields to enjoy the outdoors.
Expansive views from atop Skiff Mountain are breathtaking from sunrise to sunset with night skies to continue to enjoy “nature’s television” through all seasons.
Our Yankee Barn home, built by our parents in 1971, sits on the highest meadow of the Tobin family farm in Kent, CT overlooking working hay fields and hilltop views for miles.
Minutes to train stations for easy access to NYC, our home is also close to Kent School, Marvelwood School, South Kent School, Mohawk Ski Area, the Appalachian trail, downtown Kent and MUCH more. “The mountain”, as longtime residents call it, is the perfect place to sit and relax or to call home while exploring the southern Berkshire hills and Litchfield County.
The best part of staying at the House on High Meadow is in getting here and STAYING here! Get the groceries, hit the package store (that's New Englander for liquor store) if that's your thing, grab a good book (the summer-long library sale in town is a great source), leave your worries at the foot of the mountain and come prepared to RELAX in your own cocoon of comfort and privacy!
With 3+ acres of open lawn (plus many acres of hay fields) for playing, running, kite-flying etc, a basketball half-court, hammock, and covered deck - you've got plenty of recreational options! The pool has views for miles. Imagine floating and watching fireworks on July 4th from multiple towns.
Sightseeing, antiquing, museums, art galleries, and so much more are also available when you want to leave the mountain and explore the area!
For the outdoor enthusiasts:
- The Housatonic River (10 minutes away in two directions) offers great fishing, canoeing, kayaking and floating.
- Kent Falls State Park (15 minutes away) is scenic and has a lovely hike along the waterfalls' edge.
- Macedonia State Park (10 minutes away) offers beautiful trails for hiking and, our favorite as kids, playing in the brook to keep cool.
- Lake Waramaug State Park (~30 minutes away) has a beach and opportunities for water sports.
- Mohawk Mountain Ski Area (15 - 25 minutes away depending on weather) has the best learn-to-ski, intermediate, and family skiing around!
- Sharon Audubon (10 minutes away) is a great family activity to learn about our local flora and fauna.
In rural Connecticut, it's impossible to list all of the options but we grew up here so just ask and we will point you in the right direction!
