Set at the end of a private cul-de-sac amidst a remarkable landscape of protected land, open farmland, and premier equestrian facilities, 22 Bittersweet Hill is a rare offering that seamlessly blends luxury living, thoughtful craftsmanship, and outstanding equestrian amenities. Constructed in 2000 as the builder's personal residence, this custom colonial has been meticulously maintained and improved by the original owners, creating a turnkey estate of exceptional quality. 

Encompassing 6.17 acres across 2 parcels, the property includes the primary residence, horse barn, and a separately approved 2.02-acre building lot with utilities already in place. Whether envisioned as a future expansion, guest residence, multigenerational compound, or investment opportunity, the additional parcel significantly enhances the property's long-term value. 

The setting is nothing short of idyllic. Approximately 65 acres of protected land trust border the property to the west, over 100 acres of active farmland extend to the south, and an established equestrian facilty lies directly adjacent, creating a setting that feels worlds away while remaining conveniently accessible. The fully private cul-de-sac is town maintained, with municipal snow plowing and new asphalt road resurfacing anticipated in 2027. 

Gracefully sited to capture the natural rhythems of the day, the home was intentionally oriented east to west, capturing the morning sun across the front facade and showcasing magnificent sunsets across the rear grounds. Rolling lawns, mature speciment plantings, and extensive professional landscaping frame the approach, while an inviting front porch, accented by fieldstone, architectural columns, and retractable shades, establishes an immediate sense of arrival. 

Spanning 4,194sf, the residence unfolds with timeless elegance and throughtful design. A dramatic 2-story foyer introduces honed marble flooring, elevated millwork, and a sense of scale that carries throughout the home.

The chef's kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, anchored by a magnificent 9-foot center island, complemented by GE Monogram appliances, a paneled refrigerator, double wall ovens, abundant wood cabinetry, stunning porcelain countertops and backsplash, and a generous pantry. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the family room, where a striking 42-inch wood-burning fireplace with stone hearth, custom media cabinetry, and skylight create a warm yet refined gathering place.
