Property Description

Where Architectural Inspiration Meets the Majesty of the Connecticut River. Perched majestically on 15.22 acres along the eastern bank of the Connecticut River, 89 River Road offers a rare convergence of architectural pedigree, natural beauty, privacy, and fully realized lifestyle design. Designed, owned, and meticulously crafted by one of America's leading architects, this 12,836-square-foot, three bedroom compound, completed in 2018, was conceived to inspire creativity, wellness, and a connection to the outdoors.
