240 Umpawaug Rd, Redding, CT 06896

A masterfully restored ca. 1913 Charles Ives House, designed and built by Ives and presented as an Arts and Crafts summer retreat. The home’s original architectural integrity is highlighted by a spectacular great room with a double-height wood-beamed ceiling, a prominent original paned picture window, and custom staircase balusters subtly shaped to resemble musical staff notes. The country-chic chef’s kitchen includes elite appliances (La Cornue, Miele, Bosch), a built-in banquette, and a fireplace inset with original vintage tile. Upstairs, the primary suite offers panoramic views, a luxurious marble bath, and a walk-in closet. There is also an original music studio/office with untouched hardwood floors. The property is supported by resort amenities including a 1BR guest cottage (ca. 1900), a heated Gunite infinity-edge pool and spa, a tennis court, and a classic century-old timber frame barn with a new foundation and roof.

Set on approximately 18 acres in West Redding at 240 Umpawaug Rd, the grounds are described as the core of a private resort experience. The estate’s combination of restored character and modern updates is positioned to serve both day-to-day living and dedicated entertaining spaces.

This offering suits buyers looking for a distinctive, history-forward estate that functions as a true private retreat. With purpose-built gathering areas, an on-site guest cottage, and on-ground recreational features, it can accommodate multi-generational hosting and hospitality-minded stays while preserving the property’s restored original details.
