Na kraju vijugave ceste obrubljene drvećem, skrivena od pogleda visokim borovima i blagim zavojem krajolika, otvara se proplanak i pojavljuje se Bantam Barn. Smještena visoko na brdu i okružena gotovo pet hektara mirne šume i travnjaka, ova izvanredna kuća nije samo mjesto za boravak, već i mjesto za ispuštanje daha. Izvorno 19. stoljetna staja, struktura je s ljubavlju rekonstruirana i ponovno zamišljena kao topli, moderni bijeg. Obnovljen barnwood,antičke ručno obrađene grede i široki podovi donose osjećaj starine i autentičnosti, dok visoki stropovi i moderni završeci daju lakoću i udobnost. Arhitektonski jezik je taktilan, bezvremen i duboko povezan s okruženjem. Srce doma je velika dnevna soba - zadivljujući otvoreni prostor oslonjen na kamin od terasastog kamena od poda do stropa. Sunčeva svjetlost ulijeće kroz prostrane prozore, zamagljujući granicu između unutrašnjosti i vanjskog prostora. Svaki detalj ovdje pažljivo je odabran kako bi se izbalansirala rustikalna tekstura s tihom luksuzom. Kuhinja donosi elegantan, suvremen ton s integriranim uređajima, indukcijskom pločom i velikim otokom koji poziva i na pripremu obroka i na razgovore. Otvorena je prema blagovaonici i dnevnom boravku, stvarajući prirodni protok koji je idealan za zabavu ili jednostavno opuštanje. Iza, udubljena dnevna soba nudi intimniji prostor za filmske večeri ili čitanje uz vatru, skrivena, ali povezani.
Tri spavaće sobe i kupaonice s dva i pol sadržaja udobno smještaju goste sa stilom. Glavna suite, smještena u prizemlju radi lakoće i privatnosti, doima se kao izolirano svetište. Ima prostranu garderobu i mirnu en-suite kupaonicu obloženu mramorom, dizajniranu za duga tuširanja, tiha jutra i duboki odmor. Završeni podrum nudi dodatni prostor za goste. Definiračka značajka doma je njegov izvorni silos, koji je umješno transformiran. Kupaonice se nalaze ovdje, svaka s skulpturalnim iskustvom s prirodnim materijalima i atmosferičnim svjetlom. Popnite se silosovim stubama i pronaći ćete radni kutak na katu, skrovište među krošnjama za kreativni rad ili mirnu refleksiju. Na otvorenom, ljeto se odvija usporeno. Bistrin osnovni bazen poziva na duga poslijepodneva na suncu. Travnjak se proteže prema horizontu, nudeći dovoljno prostora za igru, piknike ili promatranje zvijezda. A svuda oko, visoka stabla stoje na straži, dajući cijelom imanju osjećaj privatnosti i zaštite. Smješten u Bantamu, samo nekoliko minuta od jezera Bantam, White Memorial Conservation Center, Arethusa Farm i trgovina i restorana Litchfield, Bantam Barn nudi rijetku kombinaciju ruralne izolacije i sofisticirane udobnosti. Ovo je dom gdje se vrijeme doima sporije, gdje je priroda uvijek prisutna, a svaki prostor dizajniran da njeguje, oduševljava i obnavlja. Dostupan po cijeni od 20 000 dolara mjesečno za jedan mjesec.

At the end of a winding, tree-lined road, hidden from sight by towering pines and the gentle curve of the landscape, a clearing opens and the Bantam Barn comes into view. Set high atop a hill and surrounded by nearly five acres of quiet woodland and lawn, this remarkable home is not merely a place to stay, but a place to exhale. Originally a 19th-century barn, the structure has been lovingly reconstructed and reimagined as a warm, design-forward retreat. Reclaimed barnwood, antique hand-hewn beams, and wide-plank floors bring a sense of age and authenticity, while soaring ceilings and modern finishes lend lightness and ease. The architectural language is tactile, timeless, and deeply connected to its surroundings. The heart of the home is its great room-a breathtaking open space anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace. Sunlight pours in through expansive windows, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Every detail here has been thoughtfully chosen to balance rustic texture with quiet luxury. The kitchen strikes a sleek, contemporary note with integrated appliances, an induction cooktop, and a massive island that invites both meal prep and lingering conversation. It's open to the dining area and living room, creating a natural flow that is ideal for entertaining or simply spreading out. Just beyond, a sunken den offers a more intimate space for movie nights or reading by the fire, tucked away, yet connected.
Three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths accommodate guests with comfort and style. The primary suite, located on the ground floor for ease and privacy, feels like a secluded sanctuary. It features a spacious walk-in closet and a serene ensuite bathroom wrapped in marble, designed for long showers, quiet mornings, and deep rest. A finished basement offers additional guest space. A defining feature of the home is its original silo, which has been artfully transformed. The bathrooms are housed here, each one a sculptural experience with natural materials and atmospheric lighting. Climb the silo stairs and you'll find a lofted office nook tucked at the top, a treetop hideaway for creative work or peaceful reflection. Outdoors, summer unfolds in slow motion. A crystal-clear in-ground pool invites long afternoons in the sun. The lawn stretches toward the horizon, offering plenty of room for play, picnics, or stargazing. And all around, the tall trees stand watch, giving the entire property a feeling of privacy and protection. Located in Bantam, just minutes from Bantam Lake, White Memorial Conservation Center, Arethusa Farm, and the shops and restaurants of Litchfield, the Bantam Barn offers the rare combination of rural seclusion and refined comfort. This is a home where time feels slower, where nature is always present, and where every space has been designed to nourish, delight, and restore. Available for $20K/month for a single month. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
