T he rolling countryside and charming villages of Litchfield County offer a seductive alternative to the hubbub

of the city. At just one and a half hours from New York City, and two and a half hours from Boston, many individuals flock here for the access to hiking, skiing, water sports, farms and wonderful country shops and restaurants.

“It’s a wonderful place for adults to unwind and a healthy place for children to grow up,” asserted co-Founder and owner of Klemm Real Estate, Carolyn Klemm. “Many people come here for the schools and keep a small apartment in New York. We are seeing a lot of families looking for compounds for grandpar-ents, parents and young adults. This seems to be a growing trend.”

Buyers looking to spend under $1m may be tempted by a “three bedroom Contemporary (pictured top left and listed at $795,000) with pool and views on 2.39± acres” on a quiet country road in Washington. For over $1m, a “1930’s Classic Colonial with five bedrooms (pictured top center), six fireplaces and views on 6.27± acres,” located in Bridgewater and listed at $1,295,000, will surely bewitch prospective buyers. For buyers able to spend over $2m, “this Historic in-town colonial in Litchfield (pictured top right) is one of the best buys in the area at this time” listed at $2,200,000. It’s been completely remodeled and has eight bedrooms, seven fireplaces and handsome grounds on 2.12± acres.

“This is an extremely sophis-ticated place with an emphasis on culture and the arts,” stressed Ms. Klemm. “Many famous people call Litchfield County home.” NY restaura-teur, Danny Meyer, artist, Jasper Johns,

as well as actors, Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman, have all dropped anchor here as countless successful politicians and fashion designers.

Since the beginning of 2012, Klemm Real Estate has brokered the ten highest sales in Litchfield and New Haven Counties in Connecticut, and Columbia and Dutchess Counties in New York. “Each property’s asking price was over a million, with the highest in Roxbury with an asking price of $3.495 million,” added Ms. Klemm. “These sales are indicative of the attrac-tiveness of the area and surrounding counties.”

Klemm Real Estate has a strong emphasis on cus-tomer service, with a very personal hands-on approach with buyers and sellers so that their clients feel special and important. “The Klemm agents have been hand picked over the years and are truly the best of the best,” explained Ms. Klemm. “We are a very social fam-ily and truly adore our clients and try to involve them in many exciting social activities to give them a sense of belonging.”

14 | Fall 2012 | The New York Observer TO ADVERTISE: 212-407-9386

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning in your upscale country-meets-modern home, a haven that exudes both rustic charm and a hint of urban sophistication. (Perhaps the latter is something you instill upon this home away from home, a byproduct of your city lifestyle). Your three-bedroom, two-bathroom abode is utterly quiet, except for the sounds of birds chirping and leaves rus-tling outside your open window. Maybe the sounds of nature are so appealing that you decide to have breakfast out on your private, expanded deck, that is surrounded by lush plants and towering trees.

We know what you’re think-ing. You’re thinking that you have a hectic, urban life and don’t have the time to travel hours and hours away to your own private getaway. And besides, you spend a fortune on your New York City digs – why shell out a million dollars for a summer home?

As it turns out, you only need two hours and about $100,000 to get to your new, personal piece of heaven right outside the city.

The Lakeridge Association is a four-season community nestled in an idyllic, 235-acre forest

preserve in the scenic Litchfield Hills of Connecticut. Indoor and outdoor pools, nineteen tennis courts, a ski area (and ski in-structors if you want to learn!), horseback riding, a sports field, a fully equipped exercise room, playgrounds and day camps for

the kids, and a dog run for man’s best friend are just some of the amenities that Lakeridge offers.

We love the idea of a Hamp-tons-alternative escape from the city, a place for kids to be kids – chase butterflies, play soc-cer, and learn to swim – and for adults to wine, dine, take yoga classes and go hiking. We get the feeling that Lakeridge is one

those places that never gets old, a fantasy land filled with nature’s best amenities (think ponds, vegetable gardens, and endless forests), along with modern, man-made enhancements, including fireplaces, pool tables, and saunas.

We hear that Lak-eridge residents both full time and seasonal love the community so much that the experi-ence often becomes a

generational tradition. Chil-dren who grow up going to Lakeridge with their parents often end up purchasing homes in the same community they frequented as kids.

And in case you need a break from all the fabulousness that

Lakeridge offers (we can’t imagine why you would, but we suppose it’s remotely possible), you can always unwind at one of six local golf courses, shop til you drop in surrounding towns Avon, Farmington and Can-ton, or enjoy one of the many cultural venues in the area, like Tanglewood, Jacob’s Pillow, The Warner Theatre and the Yale Conservatory. Still, there is probably nothing better than heading back to your inviting, Lakeridge home at the end of the day.

Whether you want to buy or rent, desire a cozy two-bedroom or prefer a spacious, split-level five-bedroom, crave secluded weekly excursions away from the bustling city, or value a place for your children to social-ize outside of an urban environ-ment, Lakeridge is the perfect place to experience a low key, stress-free, scenic intermission.
