Property Description

A rare modern retreat - where extraordinary design meets an unexpected sense of warmth and ease. Privately set above the Connecticut River, 274 Joshuatown Road is remarkable for how beautifully it lives; intimate, inviting, and deeply connected to its natural surroundings. A long, private drive creates a profound sense of arrival, revealing a residence thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping river views and changing light. Designed by acclaimed architect Stephen Jacobs with interiors by Andi Pepper, this residence was created with a singular vision: to live within the landscape, not simply look upon it. Here, architecture doesn't compete with nature-it frames it. Inside, soaring spaces, natural stone, warm wood, and walls of glass bring the outdoors into nearly every experience. The dramatic living room is anchored by an 18' natural stone wall and fireplace opposite an equally impressive wall of glass, capturing changing light and river views throughout the day. An open kitchen with high-end appliances and substantial center island flows effortlessly into the dining area with seating for twelve, creating a natural gathering place for both intimate evenings and larger-scale entertaining. The main-level primary suite offers privacy & ease, while three additional beds occupy the second floor. An open staircase and private elevator connect all levels, culminating in a third-floor library and lounge with access to a roof deck overlooking the heated saltwater pool and Connecticut River beyond. Equally remarkable is what operates behind the scenes. Conceived as an environmentally conscious, near-net-zero home, the property combines a 10KW photovoltaic solar system, geothermal heating and cooling, triple-glazed windows, and precisely engineered exterior brise soleil fins designed to manage seasonal sunlight-all while maintaining exceptional comfort and refinement. Additional amenities include a dedicated office room/space, temperature-controlled wine room, fitness room with full bath and separate exterior access, private elevator, and attached two car garage. For all its architectural significance and sophisticated engineering, however, the greatest luxury here may be something far simpler: the setting itself. As you take in the top deck views and quiet, it will click, theres something so much more meaningful than the structure...the feeling of peace to be able to exist at 274 Joshuatown. And a home intentionally designed to let you experience it all. Located an equal distance between NYC and Boston, Lyme is home to preserved land, endless hiking trails, Hamburg Cove. Joshuatown is just a five-minute drive from the Chester-Hadlyme Ferry, offering convenient access across the Connecticut River and onward to Route 9.
