Property Description

Exceptionally rare, The Howe Quarry Cliff House is a truly one-of-a-kind property set on 25+ private forested acres, dramatically positioned atop a cliff overlooking the historic quarry and pond. The setting offers remarkable 180-degree unobstructed views stretching from the Hartford skyline to Sleeping Giant in New Haven, the Connecticut River Valley, Portland Bridge, and the rolling fields of South Glastonbury-along with spectacular sunsets night after night. Designed to embrace its extraordinary surroundings, this custom-built single story home captures the views from nearly every room, including dramatic perspectives directly into the Quarry below. From the deck and porch, watch eagles & hawks soar at eye level and enjoy a sense of privacy that is difficult to find, all just minutes from the village of South Glastonbury. Recently renovated from top to bottom, the home blends naturally with its setting through warm, earthy tones, wood cabinetry, wide-board floors, and abundant windows. The main living and dining area features a striking floor-to-ceiling fireplace constructed with stone from the Quarry itself. The primary and guest bedrooms each offer beautifully appointed stone bathrooms inspired by the surrounding landscape. An attached two-car garage is complemented by an additional lower-level garage with direct basement access-ideal for ATVs, outdoor equipment, and recreational gear. A separate bunkhouse provides a memorable retreat for visiting friends and family, perfect for weekends spent hiking, exploring property, riding ATVs, or simply enjoying the quiet of the natural setting. The 25+ acres offer extensive recreational possibilities, with established trails winding through the property, down to the pond, and along the cliffs, as well as a shooting post and additional areas ready to be explored. The acreage also presents exciting potential for a family compound or private retreat. Offering complete seclusion and privacy without sacrificing convenience, The Howe Quarry Cliff House is a rare opportunity to experience extraordinary land, dramatic views, and a lifestyle deeply connected to nature-all within minutes of everyday amenities. A truly special property that must be experienced in person.
