About This Project

The Shepaug River House stands as a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and thoughtful design, earning the prestigious 2022 HBRA CT HOBI Award for Best Designed Custom Home and being featured in the April 2022 issue of Connecticut Magazine. Nestled on 1.7 secluded acres along the serene banks of the Shepaug River in Southbury, this newly-built residence masterfully balances modern design elements with timeless New England aesthetics. The property is meticulously sited to capture the natural beauty of its surroundings, offering a tranquil retreat for an active family. At the heart of the design is a stunning stone-and-shingle exterior that harmonizes with the landscape while providing lasting durability. The east-facing façade greets visitors with a beautifully crafted motor court made of concrete pavers, flanked by terraced gardens featuring carefully constructed stone retaining walls that enhance the home’s visual appeal. The grand entrance, highlighted by a mahogany door, is elegantly framed beneath a standing-seam copper roof supported by classic Doric columns, creating an inviting focal point. Inside, the Shepaug River House reveals thoughtfully designed living spaces that cater to both relaxation and entertainment. The primary bedroom exemplifies this ethos, boasting extensive glazing on the waterfront side, which floods the space with natural light and offers breathtaking views. The tongue-and-groove coffered ceiling adds a touch of sophistication, while the built-in window seat/reading nook invites leisurely moments. French doors lead to a bluestone patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The bedroom also features a generous walk-in closet and a spa-style en suite bath, further enhancing the luxurious lifestyle that this home promotes. Every detail of the Shepaug River House reflects a commitment to quality and style, making it not just a residence, but a sanctuary designed for the joys of family life.
