There's No House In The World Like This One In Connecticut

A house is not a home without family, but this estate seems like exactly the place I’d like to go to be alone.

Unfortunately, I don’t have 65 million dollars to spend, but if I did I’d snatch this place up! The recent owners have modernized, rebuilt, and restored. But they still left room for the horses (which is super cool) and even left some of the ruins from other buildings formerly part of the estate. Check it out for yourself!
