At the $10M+ threshold, these properties represent a unique buying opportunity in our regional market. Having represented legendary historic compounds, sprawling land parcels, and elite equestrian estates, we understand the distinct expectations of this ultra-luxury tier. In Millbrook, NY, for example, a $10M+ estate demands a flawless convergence of visually stunning acreage and sophisticated infrastructure. Buyers can expect 50 to 200+ acres of protected, rolling terrain—often contiguous to active hunt country or under conservation easements—ensuring permanent panoramic views. For equestrian enthusiasts, world-class facilities feature professional-grade indoor/outdoor arenas and luxury barns with private trail networks. Absolute discretion is a must; these properties are defined by sweeping, long driveways that guarantee complete privacy from the outside world.
While all three offer spectacular waterfront lifestyles, they cater to very different preferences regarding scale and geography
Lake Wononscopomuc (Lakeville Lake): Located in the Litchfield Hills town of Salisbury, this is Connecticut’s deepest and most exclusive natural lake. It is renowned for its quiet, understated elegance and crystal-clear water. To preserve its tranquil atmosphere, motorboating is strictly regulated (with a speed limit and low-horsepower restrictions), making it a haven for sailing, swimming, and kayaking. Real estate here features prestigious, historic country estates and luxury properties that rarely change hands.
Twin Lakes (Lake Washining & Lake Washinee): Also nestled in Salisbury, Twin Lakes offers a pastoral, classic New England resort feel with stunning views of the southern Berkshires. Unlike Lakeville Lake, the larger lake (Washining) welcomes full-scale motorboating, waterskiing, and tubing, centered around a vintage marina and private clubs. The vibe here is social, active, and multi-generational, attracting buyers who want a traditional summer-camp energy paired with high-end luxury lakefront farmhouses and cottages.
Lake Waramaug: Bordering the highly desirable towns of Washington, Warren, and Kent, Lake Waramaug is widely considered one of the most visually spectacular lakes in New England. Its shoreline is tightly protected, and boat access is heavily restricted by strict local ordinances and mandatory environmental inspections to keep invasive species out. The vibe here is deeply sophisticated yet intensely private, drawing a distinguished, arts-and-finance crowd. The real estate inventory consists of ultra-luxury historic estates, masterfully renovated shingle-style cottages, and architectural marvels that command some of the highest price-per-foot metrics in the state
Candlewood Lake: Spanning five towns across Fairfield and Litchfield counties, Candlewood is a massive, 5,400-acre man-made lake and the largest in the state. Located just 90 minutes from Manhattan, it is a vibrant, high-energy destination for major water sports, jet-skiing, and social boating. The shoreline is dotted with 64 distinct private communities—ranging from gated enclaves like Sail Harbour to historic associations like Candlewood Isle—offering a wide spectrum of inventory from cozy waterfront cottages to palatial ultra-luxury mansions. Choose Candlewood if you want maximum activity, community amenities, and rapid proximity to New York City.
Bantam Lake: Spanning the towns of Morris and Litchfield, Bantam Lake is Connecticut’s largest natural lake (spanning over 900 acres). It strikes a beautiful balance between a high-energy water sports destination and a pristine ecological sanctuary, with much of its northern shoreline protected by the expansive White Memorial Foundation. It hosts an active sailing, waterskiing, and rowing culture, though a strict nightly curfew bans internal combustion motors between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM to preserve evening peace. The real estate market here feels authentically laid-back and historic, offering a diverse mix of multi-generational family compounds, classic mid-century lake cottages, and elegant turn-of-the-century estates
