UPPER LEVEL:

Set within a quiet lake community in Connecticut, The Green Acres is a completed custom log home designed as a private retreat for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying life by the water. With warm log walls, dramatic timber details, expansive outdoor living areas, and a collection of lifestyle-focused spaces, this home reflects a deeply personal vision brought to life through thoughtful design and craftsmanship.

The main home centers around a soaring Great Room with a cathedral ceiling, custom fireplace, and generous windows that fill the space with natural light. The open kitchen and dining areas were designed for entertaining, with a large island, high-end appliances, and an easy flow between everyday living, hosting, and outdoor enjoyment.

The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with a spa-like bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the covered rear porch. Upstairs, additional bedrooms, baths, office and sitting areas, and open loft space create room for family, guests, and quiet moments away from the main gathering areas.

Beyond the main home, the property was designed as a true lakefront estate, with outdoor spaces and supporting structures that extend the experience of the home. From the pool and patio areas to the lake views, boathouse, guest spaces, and entertainment-focused details, every part of the property was shaped around comfort, hospitality, and long-term enjoyment.

The Green Acres is more than a custom log home. It is a legacy retreat designed around personality, place, and the way one family wanted to live, gather, and create lasting memories by the water.
