Property Description

Nestled on 6.5 serene acres next to the Fresh Meadows open space in Cheshire, CT, this worldclass property offers privacy, peace and elegance. The home boasts 4,896 sq ft of living space, complemented by an additional 4,400 sq ft dedicated to studios, a gym, garages, a woodshop, and ample storage – perfect for working from home or pursuing hobbies. Designed by Tom Pritchard and Edward Tufte, the property features a thoughtful kitchen, spacious dining area, visitor suite, beautifully landscaped grounds, and a network of walking trails. The entire property exudes a park-like charm with practical features like a swimming pool, natural windbreaks of trees, stone walls and high ground reducing risk of flooding. The location is enhanced by Cheshire’s highly-rated schools. This home was the residence of Yale Professor Edward Tufte for over 40 years. Renowned as the “Galileo of Graphics” (Bloomberg) and the “da Vinci of Data” (NY Times), Tufte used this space as a creative haven, writing and designing six acclaimed books, crafting sculptures, and planning his 234-acre art park at Hogpen Hill Farms in Litchfield County. The property is 15 miles from Yale University and Yale New Haven Hospital, 5 miles from Quinnipiac University, and within easy reach of Wesleyan University and major airports. New York City and Boston are both accessible in under two hours by car or train, making this an ideal location for those seeking a balance of rural tranquility and urban accessibility.
