Rustic-Luxe Lodge -- Real Estate -- Listings of the Week

This 691-acre lakefront compound in Torrington looks rustic on the outside but it’s luxurious and comfortable inside. There are several buildings on the property, including the main lodge which dates back to the early 1900s, a guest house and a barn built in 2007 partially from native hemlock timbers; it offers more sleeping space for guests. The property also includes a large blueberry patch, fruit orchard and a flat piece of land above the lake that could be used to build a new residence. The lake is the centerpiece of the current homestead and has a sandy beach, expansive deck and miles of trails surrounding its boundaries. Listed for $4.9 million by Sotheby’s International Realty.
