Set on 14 private and fully fenced acres, this truly spectacular property, once owned by Walter Matthau and his wife Carol Grace, is surrounded by the Matthau Land Trust. The newly built main house was conceived by Geoff Fairbairn, a well-known Litchfield builder, with the current owners adding more features and square footage to the compound, with an eye for detail and enchanting style. The two original cottages have been updated, keeping the historic touches, and are currently used as a guest house and an extensive gym and office area. Among the many things that make this property so special are an attached five-car garage, a pool with spa and sun deck, radiant heat floors, a magnificent 18-foot stone chimney designed by Jorge Criollo and a three-season screened-in porch complete with a Malm fireplace. Roxbury is a renown artists community, home to such former and current notables as Richard Widmark, Walter Matthau, Marilyn Monroe, Arthur Miller, the illustrator Barry Blitt, the authors Frank & Ellen McCourt, Daniel Day Lewis, James Taylor and the stunning Alexander Calder Estate with its many sculptures. Roxbury's proximity to the city has made it possible for the current owners to easily film in the city and return in just over an hour and a half! Property consists of 2 separate lots - the compound sits on one lot (6+/- acres) and the other lot (7+/- acres) is unencumbered and can be gifted, sold or used as a building lot.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
