Welcome to 'Highover,' a 25-acre hilltop estate on the Connecticut River, voted the WSJ House of the Month nationwide. Over half a mile of waterfront, with natural barriers, ensures unmatched privacy and security. Accommodation for extended family and live-in help. Uniquely poised between New York and Boston, and less than an hour by helicopter from JFK, Logan, and Bradley. The home, designed by renowned architect Alfred Hopkins, has had many notable guests, including Albert Einstein, Katharine Hepburn, William Gillette, and a former president. A five-year renovation was completed at the sprawling 5-BED/8-BATH chateau residence, preserving its classic architecture. A new 3-bay garage with a workshop above and a spacious tobacco barn would accommodate a range of recreational needs. The dock on Whalebone Creek easily accommodates the owner's 36' Hinckley Picnic Boat. For larger vessels, a brief 10-minute cruise leads to your mooring in Hamburg Cove, widely regarded as one of the most protected and secure anchorages on the East Coast. Lyme is the quintessential enchanted, classic New England setting of antique homes, stone walls, and undisturbed countryside. Lyme was, for a time, designated as the "American Barbizon" and became known as the most famous Impressionist colony in America, the "American Giverny."
