187 Old Mount Tom Litchfield, NY 06750

Academic-Year Rental | September-June | $8,500/month | Fully Furnished At the end of a winding country drive, where tall pines rise like quiet sentinels and sunlight filters through branches, the Bantam Barn reveals itself-set high on a hill, completely hidden from view. This exceptional long-term rental blends the soul of a 19th-century barn with the ease and elegance of modern living, offering a rare opportunity to dwell in both history and comfort. Thoughtfully restored and architecturally reimagined, the home features reclaimed barnwood, antique hand-hewn beams, and wide-plank floors throughout. Natural textures are paired with clean lines and contemporary finishes, creating interiors that feel both grounded and luminous. The heart of the home is a dramatic great room with soaring ceilings and a fieldstone fireplace, surrounded by walls of windows that frame views of the surrounding woods. The sleek, modern kitchen is outfitted with integrated appliances, double ovens, an induction cooktop, and a massive island-ideal for both daily rituals and entertaining. Just beyond, a sunken den/TV room provides a cozy, informal space to unwind. The layout includes four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. The ground-floor primary suite is a private retreat with a walk-in closet and a marble-clad ensuite bath. All bathrooms are uniquely housed within the home's original silo, adding sculptural charm and a sense of whimsy to everyday routines. At the top of the silo, a lofted office nook offers a peaceful spot for remote work or creative pursuits. Outside, nearly five acres of lawn and forest provide a serene, private backdrop, with a sparkling inground pool for lingering late-summer afternoons. Located in the heart of Litchfield County, the Bantam Barn is ideally situated for families or faculty seeking proximity to the region's top independent schools, including The Hotchkiss School, Indian Mountain, Rumsey Hall, The Frederick Gunn School, The Kent School and more. Just minutes from Bantam Lake, Arethusa Farm, White Memorial Conservation Center, and the shops and restaurants of Litchfield and New Preston, this fully furnished home offers a peaceful, design-forward base from which to experience the Litchfield Hills.
