A circa-1830 Litchfield County home is the very picture of a country manor, just listed for $5,250,000. Painted buttercup yellow, the sprawling antique sits on a spread of nearly 12 acres, with views over a golf course and in close proximity to both the charming village of New Preston and Lake Waramaug. The acreage also offers a pool and pool house, a tennis court, a guest house, a barn-like garage and extensive gardens with paths, trellises and ornamental hedging. Inside the main house are lovely common rooms, including a kitchen with a fireplace and butler’s pantry, a formal living room with walls of French doors and a wine cellar and gym. The master suite is equipped with a fireplace and balcony, along with a luxe bathroom. Peter Klemm of Klemm Real Estate in Washington Depot has the listing.
