220-226 Tinker Hill Road

Perched on a hillside with breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Waramaug, this extraordinary estate seamlessly blends architectural brilliance with natural beauty. Featured in Architectural Digest in August 2007, the home was designed by award-winning architect Steven F. Haas to embrace the surrounding landscape, evoking the elegance of Italy’s Lake Como.

Set on 18 meticulously landscaped acres, the grounds were envisioned by renowned landscape designer Renny Reynolds, who crafted a series of Italianate gardens that complement the home’s striking design. A sweeping barrel-vaulted walkway with a glass ceiling serves as the home’s central axis, flooding the interior with natural light. On either side, spacious rooms with soaring ceilings feature limestone floors, rich mahogany ceilings, and expansive mahogany-framed window walls that blur the lines between indoors and out.

The five-bedroom residence is designed for both grandeur and tranquility, with a privately situated first-floor primary suite that opens onto a secluded terrace overlooking the lake. Every detail of the home was curated to maximize light, airiness, and a seamless connection to the landscape, creating a serene yet dramatic ambiance.

Beyond the main house, the estate includes a striking architect-designed pool, a reflective water feature, formal gardens, and a beautifully crafted guest house. In addition to the 18-acre property, a separate 7+ acre parcel is also available, offering further opportunity to expand or preserve the estate’s privacy.

A true modern masterpiece, this estate is a rare fusion of visionary architecture and breathtaking natural surroundings.
