This Luxury Home of the Week pick in Connecticut offers a little something for everyone.

The mansion at 215 Uncas Point Road in Guilford sits on 13.03 acres filled with extravagant amenities. The address includes 1,900 feet of waterfront with three docks and a boat lift, but the grounds are also home to gardens, orchards, a vineyard, a sports court, and a go-kart track.

The home even has its very own version of Stonehenge, dubbed the “Circle of Life” by previous owners. The sculpture by Darrell Petit features 700 tons of Blue Pearl Norwegian granite. 

On the market for $35,000,000, the listing includes three properties in total: a main house, a guest house, and a carriage house. Joe Piscitelli and John Guarino of Coldwell Banker Realty have the Connecticut listing. 

The Colonial-style main residence, built in 2009, measures 5,534 square feet, with six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one half bathroom. The home features expansive windows looking out to the water, as well as built-ins.

Outside, there’s space to relax with a pool, spa, and circular outdoor kitchen. 

The guest house measures 3,583 square feet, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The third and final property, a one-bedroom carriage house measuring 942 square feet, sits farther away from the first two, near a sandy beach and dock.
