escape to your very own secret garden at 418 plymouth road in harwinton\ this truly special 36-acre treasure is hidden away in a peaceful forest, promising unparalleled privacy, peace, and tranquility, and even features private walking/snowshoeing trails among thousands of spruce, white pine, and hemlocks planted when the property was a christmas tree farm. the unique 1962 home, with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, was handcrafted by the owner′s grandfather using local materials, as seen in the beautiful stone walls and main fireplace built from property stone and materials from an old farmhouse (now the garage). the living room′s stonework and exposed wood beams evoke a cozy cabin feel, and the layout offers flexibility with an en suite and a hall bath on the second floor (both bedrooms having walk-in closets) and a third main-floor bedroom with a nearby full bath. recent upgrades include a full house generac generator, new refrigerator, electrical panel, refinished floors, and newly painted rooms, while the charming barn provides a working garage with two parking spaces and storage space.
