3650 Sq. Ft. | 7 Bedroom Plus Bonus Room | Sleeps 17 | Direct Waterfront Unwind at this stunning, direct waterfront, remarkable 3650 square foot, 7-bedroom+, 6-bathroom home, on the very tip of a private peninsula on Candlewood Lake, the largest manmade lake in Connecticut. This home is located across from Vaughn’s Neck, one of the very few remaining undeveloped pieces of property on Candlewood Lake, granting you complete privacy, with no neighbors across in sight, for a 5 mile stretch. This envied piece of property, surrounded by water on three sides, with unobstructed sunrises and sunsets, will have you falling in love, upon arrival. Enjoy the lake and mountain views from one of the many balconies or perfectly curated outdoor areas. This beautifully landscaped oasis, with a private boat dock, also includes kayaks, paddleboards, plenty of water floats and rafts, fishing poles and the works! The home is fully stocked with linens, bath and beach towels, and kitchen supplies for all your needs. You can relax and barbeque on the deck or soak up the sun and take a dip on the lower patio, which wraps around to the outdoor bocce court, where you can enjoy a cocktail and some competition. Candlewood Lake offers endless recreational activities including boating, water skiing, wake surfing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, fishing and our local Gerard’s Marina offers daily boat rentals for your enjoyment! Take the time to enjoy lakeside dining and drinks at Down the Hatch, accessible by land or water. In the winter months, when Candlewood Lake freezes, enjoy ice-skating, cross-country skiing, ice fishing or a hike. This home sleeps 17 and is 1.5 hours from NYC. This impressive home also includes 3 master suites, balconies, outdoor kitchen, upper and lower deck/patio entertaining areas, playroom with darts, foosball and a billiards table.

An idyllic setting for the entire extended family and their friends to come together, whether for an extended autumn weekend or, for the fortunate few, a holiday celebration. And the best part? Everyone can stay in one place, leaving the Thanksgiving traffic to those who procrastinated a bit too much. A Thanksgiving spent at Lands End is sure to be a topic of conversation for years to come, especially over that holiday bird. The enchantment of this home during the holiday season and as the seasons change leaves an enduring and profound impression, making it nearly impossible for Lands End not to become the cherished hub for your family's most treasured moments. As an added bonus for some, the tales of your holidays, weekends, and all your moments at Lands End can become part of its history.
