House）”——建于19世纪20年代的这栋住宅前方即为车道，其展现了殖民时期风格，设有中央大厅护墙板；该盐盒式住宅建筑建于1789年，且曾经是一个酒馆，并于1939年从罗克斯伯里庄园搬迁到格雷利奇农场（Greyledge Farm）。格雷利奇（Greyledge）住宅的前任业主——一位对建筑有着浓厚兴趣的杰出律师——请了波士顿的Perry, Shaw and Hepburn建筑公司（与约翰·洛克菲勒聘请来设计和建造殖民地威廉斯堡的公司是同一家）来为此住宅选址和整合，使住宅在建筑风格上保持一致并相辅相成。如今这栋面积为10,000平方英尺的优质住宅便是他们的建筑设计杰作。该住宅的整合设计通过引入房子中引人注目的中心部分得以实现，住宅内设有一个客厅、额外的接待室和楼梯、一个大型马具房，并在罗克斯伯里住宅内建造了一个英式地下室，从而打造额外的工作人员居住区。现任业主对住宅、相关采暖通风与空调系统和水井基础设施以及外部环境进行了全面整修，整修也包括在住宅附近重建了1,500英尺长的石墙。主屋现在设有10间卧室（4间带壁炉）、多个客厅/家庭活动室、配备落地双扇玻璃门的走廊、两个室外露台、一个藏书室、办公室、9个壁炉、一个厨师级厨房和一个引人注目的烛光餐厅，此餐厅可以舒适地容纳24人，举办大型晚餐。建于1789年的“罗克斯伯里”住宅与主住宅完全整合在了一起，这个曾经用作酒馆的建筑曾位于罗克斯伯里庄园，并于1940年搬迁到了格雷利奇农场（Greyledge Farm）。泳池屋——在1998年，该房产还增设了泳池屋、喷浆池、相关的人造景观和自然景观。该区域的旁边就是石墙、100英尺高的雄伟松树和吸引人的岩石壁架，这些都是组成极具魅力的格雷利奇庄园（Estate's Greyledge）的元素。泳池屋里设有一个带壁炉的组合客厅/餐厅、一个设备齐全的厨房、两个更衣室、两个全浴卫生间和两个大卧室。泳池屋距离主屋约100码，它既是一个吸引人的视觉地标，也适合用作周末客人的隐私空间或用来举办大型聚会。主屋的最高场地——该庄园最高的建筑场地包括占地20英亩的主要开放式牧场，那里可享360度的全景视野。 迪金森乳品屋（DICKINSON DAIRY HOUSE ）——占地67.59英亩，位于罗克斯伯里。迪金森乳品屋（也称为建于1845年的瑟鲁瓦斯住宅（Seruphas Ward House）是一座拥有希腊复兴时期风格的乡村农舍。它由19世纪早期的中央大厅建筑和嵌入式南侧厨房组成，后面还有一个设备齐全的英式地下室。乳品屋（Dairy House）拥有引人目的建筑风格，它反映了利奇菲尔德县的建筑工人是如何将殖民风格和希腊复兴风格相融合的。自从现在的业主购买了该房产后，房子就没有人住了，因此房子需要进行大规模的整修。这个乳品屋的三代人都住在这所房子里，并用该房产中的谷仓和建筑加工牛奶。迪金森乳品屋拥有极大的潜力，无论是将其翻新，还是建造一个新的建筑，都十分适合。它位于高处，拥有240度的视野，并享有谢博河谷引人注目的景色。格雷利奇国旗谷仓（GREYLEDGE FLAG BARN）——格雷利奇谷仓（Greyledge Barn）建于1996年，用印第安纳州谷仓常用的迎风舷建造而成，其外观、大小都与原版类似，这栋建筑曾经利用了遍布岩石的海岬，那也是格雷利奇农场和庄园的特色。谷仓现在主要用于存放车辆和设备；然而，它可以很容易转变为别的用途，因为它铺有一个浇注的混凝土地板，拥有极好的采光条件，以及拥有一个新建筑所具备的结构完整性。业主在2001年末用一幅美国国旗的画装饰了谷仓。国旗画、美丽外观和所处的高处位置使这个谷仓成为了利奇菲尔德县的地标，它也因此而出现在许多地方和国家出版物中。C-1地块——该地块面积为9.5英亩，位于罗克斯伯里。这块未开发且无抵押负担的建筑场地拥有东部和东南部一览无余的景观。格雷利奇谷仓（GREYLEDGE BARN）、住宅和农场办公室——这些建筑占地72.97英亩，位于布里奇沃特。格雷利奇（Greyledge）谷仓/住宅/农场办公室、相关建筑和围场由现任业主在2007年建造而成。谷仓位于庄园西南方的高处，因此享有极佳的视野和从谢博河谷吹来的微风，同时使得主屋与农场之间拥有恰当的距离，还营造了隐私感。该建筑的设计借鉴了罗克斯伯里的贾迪斯桥农场（Judds Bridge Farm），并寻求与格雷利奇庄园（Greyledge Estate）的其他建筑保持一致的美感和建筑风格。这座面积为8,500平方英尺的谷仓建筑采用了几乎所有格雷利奇（Greyledge）建筑都有的相同的隔板设计、大小为12英尺乘12英尺的竖框窗户、夏克式雪松屋顶和铜制水槽，同时还集成了一流的暖通空调和供水技术以及太阳能电池板，以支持农场的所有工作，这还能保护自然，实现环保。虽然这些建筑目前用于商业目的，但通过在谷仓的第二层增加间隔一致的天窗，与底层六英尺高的窗户对准——可以建造多达五个独立卧室——此谷仓将很容易的改造成一栋坚固的住宅。位于格雷利奇（Greyledge）谷仓后面的拖拉机谷仓（The Tractor Barns）和干草棚可重新用作传统车库和储藏空间，或停车处和/或工作人员的额外生活区。格雷利奇谷仓（位于D地块）占地73英亩，周围是石墙、牧场和业主设计的马或牛/羊圈。该处房产拥有多个新的建筑场地。庄园管理人住宅——占地2.5英亩。位于布里奇沃特（BRIDGEWATER）——这处庄园管理人的住宅在2009年由现任业主进行了大规模整修，整修包括在房子上增加了第二层楼，以使其外观更符合其他房产的建筑风格。庄园管理人住宅目前的设计灵感来自殖民地威廉斯堡（Colonial Williamsburg）的国王武器酒馆（The King's Arms Tavern）之建筑。这所房子由八个房间组成，包括四间卧室、两间浴室、客厅、餐厅、新装修的厨房和一个设备齐全的、部分精装修的地下室。采暖通风与空调系统、油井服务和管道在翻新时进行了整修。格雷利奇安格斯牧场（GREYLEDGE ANGUS PRESSION） | F地块——林地和开阔牧场的结合，辅之以石墙和木板围栏，这便构成了（被广泛认为是）从西边进入罗克斯伯里镇（Roxbury）之最为风景如画的入口。该地块占地面积大约为31.26英亩，其地形多样，被一条风景秀丽的溪流、新生长的树林和多个石墙一分为二，这些石墙可以追溯到19世纪，当时整个地区都是牧场或农业用地。这片土地有可能转变为几个大型建筑场地，其中大部分都有足够的海拔高度来一览谢博河谷以北和以东、直到罗克斯伯里的景色。格雷利奇保护区（GREYLEDGE PRESERVE） | G地块——该保护区由罗克斯伯里占地76.19英亩的未开发和无抵押负担的土地组成，北部和东部毗邻占地560英亩土地信托房产。靠近谢博河的地方有多种地形，十分适合用来狩猎、骑马以及观察各种自然栖息地内的当地野生动物。该地块还拥有建几个高处建筑场地的潜力，从各个方向均能看到远处的景色。THE TRAILHEAD | H地块——这一占地面积约为5.34英亩的独特地块毗邻占地约560英亩的罗克斯伯里土地信托房产，其中包括金色农场、埃尔巴彻和奥泽奇保护区，从这里，您可直接去往数英里的步行和骑马小径，还可以去往谢博河进行飞钓。这里十分适合自然主义者生活，因为这里有一个池塘、邻近的湿地和种了一些树木的动物栖息地，有利于多种鸟类和野生动物的生长。此地块还包括从南方进入毗邻的罗克斯伯里土地信托房产的步道起点（通过与当前业主进行了口头商议）。该房产没有抵押负担。其他开发机会：购买者可以通过重新配置选定地块和对相邻物业进行地块线的调整，最大限度地提高现有土地的价值，如下所示： B地块：这块占地20英亩的新建建筑地块拥有开阔的牧场和位于该房产最高处的建筑场地的360度景观。 C-1地块：可以将现有地块扩展至20英亩。 景观区域：与Skyline Ridge的七个土地业主一起调整地块边线，以永久控制康涅狄格州布里奇沃特（BRIDGEWATER）地区西部边界的沿线景观。布里奇沃特（Bridgewater）古雅的城镇位于侯萨托尼克河（Housatonic River）的东岸，那里主要是一个居住社区，占地17.3平方英里。布里奇沃特是一个建于1856年的古老农业社区，是谷仓、围场和乡村庄园以及美丽的莉莉农纳湖（Lake Lillinonah）的所在地。迷人的城镇绿化是许多路人的天堂，他们会在历史悠久的综合商店停下来品尝著名的布里奇沃特巧克力（Bridgewater Chocolates）或享受新英格兰美

C.1820 MAIN HOUSE 52.9 ACRES. BRIDGEWATER
The Main House comprises two separate houses: "The Bridgewater House" — a C.1820 center-hall clapboard colonial that fronts the driveway, and "The Roxbury House" — a C.1789 saltbox and former tavern which was relocated from a Roxbury estate to Greyledge Farm in 1939.
The prior owner of Greyledge — a prominent attorney with a strong affinity for architecture — retained the Boston-based architecture firm of Perry, Shaw and Hepburn (the same firm retained by John D. Rockefeller to design and build Colonial Williamsburg), to site and integrate the two homes in an architecturally consistent and complimentary manner. The result is a primary residence of 10,000± square feet and a masterpiece of architectural design.
The integration was effected with the introduction of the lower profile center section of the house which includes a living room, additional reception rooms and staircases, a large tack room, and the construction of an English basement in the Roxbury house to provide additional staff living quarters.
The current owners undertook a comprehensive renovation of the home, related HVAC and well infrastructure and exterior surroundings, including rebuilding 1,500 feet of stone walls in the immediate vicinity of the house.
The Main House is now comprised of 10 bedrooms (four with fireplaces), multiple living/family rooms, breezeways lined with French doors, two outdoor terraces, a library, office, nine fireplaces, a chef's kitchen, and a dramatic candle-lit dining room that can comfortably accommodate large seated dinners for 24 people.
C.1789 "ROXBURY" HOUSE
Fully integrated with the main house, this former tavern was dismantled from a Roxbury estate and relocated to Greyledge Farm in 1940.
POOL HOUSE
The pool house, gunite pool, related hardscape and landscaping were added to the property in 1998. The area is bordered by stone walls, majestic 100-foot pine trees, and attractive rock ledges that informed the Estate's Greyledge appellation.
The Pool House is comprised of a combined living/dining room with fireplace, a full kitchen, two changing rooms, two full baths, and two large bedrooms.
The Pool House is located approximately 100 yards from the Main House, affording both an attractive visual landmark as well as an alternative living venue for privacy or large gatherings of weekend guests.
MAIN HOUSE TOP FIELD
The Estate's most elevated build site comprising 20 acres of primarily open pasture with 360-degree views
DICKINSON DAIRY HOUSE
67.59 ACRES. ROXBURY. The Dickinson Dairy House (also known as the Seruphas Ward House c. 1845) is a vernacular farmhouse influenced by the Greek Revival style. It is composed of an early 19th-century center hall building and a recessed kitchen wing to the south with an full English basement at the rear. The Dairy House provides an interesting perspective how country builders at this time integrated both colonial and Greek Revival styles in Litchfield County.
The home has not been occupied since the current owner purchased the property and it requires extensive renovation. Three generations of dairy families have lived in the house and processed milk in the barns and buildings that at one point occupied the property.
The Dickinson Dairy House offers interesting potential either as a renovation opportunity or as a new build given the dramatic vistas of the contours of the Shepaug River Valley afforded by the home's elevated position and 240-degree views.
GREYLEDGE FLAG BARN
The Greyledge Barn was constructed in 1996 and is built of weathered siding from a barn in Indiana to replicate the look and aesthetic of a calving barn of similar size that used to occupy the rocky promontory that defines Greyledge Farm and the Estate. The barn is now used primarily for vehicle and equipment storage; however, it can be easily repurposed as it has a poured concrete floor, excellent natural light, and the structural integrity of a new building. The owners adorned the barn with a painting of the American flag in late 2001. The combination of the flag painting, the visual appeal of the barn, and its elevated position have made it a landmark in Litchfield County and contributed to its appearance in a number of local and national publications.
PARCEL C-1
9.5 ACRES. ROXBURY. Undeveloped and unencumbered build site offers unobstructed eastern and southeastern views.
GREYLEDGE BARN, RESIDENCE & FARM OFFICE
72.97 ACRES. BRIDGEWATER. Greyledge Barn/Residence/Farm Office, associated buildings, and paddocks were constructed by the current owner in 2007. The Barn is sited in an elevated position on the southwest quadrant of the Estate to ensure views and access to the breeze emanating from the Shepaug River Valley while affording the Main House both distance and privacy from the Farm. The design of the building(s) borrows from the Judds Bridge Farm in Roxbury and seeks to maintain aesthetic and architectural consistency with the other buildings on the Greyledge Estate. The 8,500-square-foot Barn building utilizes the same clapboard design, 12-over-12 mullioned windows, cedar shake roof, and copper gutters found on nearly all Greyledge buildings, while integrating leading HVAC and water technology as well as solar panels to support the Farm's all natural, eco-friendly mission.
While the buildings are currently utilized for commercial purposes, the Barn was designed to be easily converted into a substantial residence with the addition of five evenly spaced dormers on the second floor of the barn which would align with the six-foot-tall windows on the ground floor to allow for the creation of up to five en suite bedrooms.
The Tractor Barns and Haylofts located behind Greyledge Barn can be repurposed as a conventional garage and storage space, or additional living quarters to accommodate a car collection and/or staff. Greyledge Barn (Parcel D) is comprised of 73± acres and surrounded by stone walls, pasture, and horse or cattle/sheep turn-outs designed by the owner. The property offers multiple new building sites.
ESTATE MANAGER'S HOUSE 2.5 ACRES. BRIDGEWATER
The Estate Manager's Residence was extensively renovated by the current owner in 2009, including the addition of a second story to the house to make its appearance more consistent with the architecture on the remainder of the Estate. The current design of the Estate Manager's Residence was inspired by the architecture associated with The King's Arms Tavern at Colonial Williamsburg. The home is comprised of eight rooms, including four bedrooms, two baths, living room, dining room, newly updated kitchen and a full, partially finished basement. HVAC, well service, and plumbing were updated at the time of the renovation.
GREYLEDGE ANGUS PASTURE | PARCEL F
The combination of wooded acres and open pasture is complimented by stone walls and board fence to create what is widely considered to be the most scenic entrance to the town of Roxbury from the west. This parcel is comprised of 31.26± acres which offer a diversity of topography that is bisected by a scenic stream, new growth woods, and multiple stone walls dating to the 1800's when the entire area was in pasture or used for agriculture. The land offers the possibility of several large building sites, the majority having sufficient elevation to capture the views north and east over the Shepaug River Valley into Roxbury.
GREYLEDGE PRESERVE | PARCEL G
The Preserve is comprised of 76.19 undeveloped and unencumbered acres in Roxbury that abuts 560 acres of Land Trust property to the north and east. The diverse topography with close proximity to Shepaug River provides an excellent venue for hunting, horseback riding, and observing local wildlife in a variety of natural habitats. The property also offers the possibility of several elevated building sites with distant views in all directions.
THE TRAILHEAD | PARCEL H
This unique 5.34±-acre parcel abutting approximately 560 acres of Roxbury Land Trust property, including the Golden Harvest, Erbacher, and Orzech Preserves, which provides direct access to several miles of walking and horse trails as well as fly fishing on the Shepaug River. An ideal site for a naturalist owing to a pond, adjacent wetlands, and lightly forested habitat which support a diversity of birds and wildlife. The parcel includes the trail head for accessing the abutting Roxbury Land Trust property from the south (by oral agreement with the current owner). The property remains unencumbered.
Additional Opportunities:
The purchaser can maximize the value of the existing land by reconfiguring select parcels and performing lot line adjustments with neighboring properties, as follows:
PARCEL B: create new 20-acre building parcel comprised primarily of open pasture and 360-degree views on the Estate's most elevated build site
PARCEL C-1: expand existing parcel to 20 acres
VIEW SHEDS: offer lot line adjustment with seven Skyline Ridge landowners to afford permanent control of view along western border of Parcel D
