About This Property

A once-in-a-generation opportunity to become the steward of one of the Connecticut River Valley's most important historic estates. Built in 1798 by Jonathan Warner-founder of the Chester-Hadlyme Ferry, merchant, ship owner, farmer, Constable, Justice of the Peace, civic leader, and director of the Middlesex Turnpike-the Warner-Brooks House stands as a remarkable testament to early American prosperity, craftsmanship, and vision. Listed on the National Registery of Historic Places, this exceptional Federal-style residence retains extraordinary architectural integrity with six fireplaces, original hardware, twelve-over-twelve windows, elegant period moldings, richly detailed mantels, and a commanding facade highlighted by Ionic columns, a Palladian window, fanlight entry, and granite foundation. A 19th-century carriage house on the property evokes the atmosphere of Warner's original gentleman-farmer estate. This historic landmark property sets the stage for unforgettable event possibilities on picturesque pastoral grounds. Revered by historians and preserved with exceptional care, this irreplaceable legacy property offers a rare opportunity to own one of Connecticut's most significant surviving Federal residences. Extensive original letters, bills, receipts, and construction records survived, documenting the artisans, materials, suppliers, and methods used to create this architectural masterpiece.
