Kent’s Picturesque Cobble Brook Farm with a Red Barn Main House Asks $4.7M

Unlike pristine new constructions, listings that don’t fall into easy categories aren’t for everyone. But iconoclastic buyers seeking something unique tend to flock to such gems—and in Connecticut, a barn-style home on 37 acres in Kent is a splendid example. To live out a luxurious yet laidback countryside lifestyle here, it will cost $4.695 million

At the heart of Cobble Brook Farm, as it’s called, is the stunning main house, converted from a barn by the IDA award-winning architects Haver & Skolnick Architects in 2001. The three-story silo, topped by an observatory offering 360-degree views, is the property’s most obviously unique feature. But its 66-foot-long great room with exposed beams and two floor-to-ceiling stone hearths is every bit as dramatic. The drama continues in the first-floor primary suite featuring a private, screened-in porch that’s cantilevered over a brook.

There are an additional two bedrooms in the main house, three more in the guest house and, in yet another barn style structure, a home theater and studio/office. Maria Taylor and Claudine McHugh of Klemm Real Estate in Washington Depot hold the listing.
