Elevated on a dramatic rise above the Connecticut River, this captivating property, aptly named "River Knoll," showcases one of the most breathtaking private settings on the river. The historic home has been featured in multiple publications such as Veranda and CTC&G for its exceptional beauty. Stunning landscape design frames every vista from the river's edge to the meticulously tended grounds that flow effortlessly into the natural surroundings. At the heart of the property is an 18th-century Cape, artfully expanded with architectural additions that honor the home's original character while delivering modern luxury.

The chef's kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry, is designed for serious cooking and effortless entertaining. Updated bathrooms throughout reflect refined taste and functionality. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with extraordinary river views that unfold in quiet splendor.
