Luxury Homes
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.

HARTFORD, Conn. – Matt Corey and Dr. Michael Goldstein won Republican nominations in Connecticut’s primary elections Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.
Corey, a Connecticut entrepreneur who has unsuccessfully run for Congress multiple times, won the Republican nomination to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy.
Corey, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, defeated Gerry Smith, the top elected official in the small town of Beacon Falls, in the Republican primary.
Corey thanked Connecticut Republicans in a post Tuesday night on the social platform X, adding: “I am deeply honored by the trust you have placed on me.”
He was the party’s nominee against Murphy before, losing by 20 points in 2018. But he recently told WTNH-TV that he believes this year is different.
“It’s the economy. If you look at what’s happening around the state, the affordability, the open borders, the crime,” Corey said previously. “There’s no peace around the world right now. We’re on the verge of World War III with this president.”
Connecticut voters have not elected a Republican to the Senate since the late Lowell P. Weicker in 1982.
Murphy has a huge fundraising advantage: As of June 30, he had $9.7 million in cash on hand for the general election, according to federal election records, compared with $32,000 for Corey as of July 24.
Corey served in the Navy from 1982 to 1987 and was deployed to Beruit in 1983. A small businessman, he owned a window cleaning business for high-rise buildings in the state for more than 30 years. He also owned a pub in Hartford and now owns and operates a pub at a golf course in East Hartford.
Corey, who has also run multiple times and lost in the Hartford area’s heavily Democratic 1st Congressional District, has accused Murphy of not doing enough for his constituents.
The primary came as candidates in the state’s most competitive congressional race were already set: a rematch between Rep. Jahana Hayes, a Democrat seeking a fourth term, and Republican George Logan, a former state senator.
Logan, who lost to Hayes in 2022 by about 2,000 votes from a quarter of a million cast, was nominated by party leaders and didn’t need to compete in a primary this year.
Also Tuesday, Goldstein, an ophthalmologist and lawyer, won the Republican nomination in Connecticut’s 4th Congressional District.
Goldstein, who is from Greenwich and lost a primary in the same district two years ago, defeated Bob MacGuffie, a leader in the state’s tea party movement.
Goldstein will now challenge Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, who is seeking his ninth term, in November.
Goldstein says he will use his background as a physician to help reduce medical costs. He has also pledged to better secure the border, restore energy independence, improve the economy, protect parental rights and fight antisemitism.

In the U.S. Senate primary, Gerry Smith, the top elected official in the town of Beacon Falls, faces Matt Corey, a restaurant operator from Glastonbury. Both say they believe longtime Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy can be beaten but acknowledge that it will be a challenge.

In the Republican primary to pick a challenger to Rep Jim Himes in the 4th Congressional District, Bob MacGuffie, a financial executive who was a leader in the state’s tea party movement, is running against Dr. Michael Goldstein, who lost in a primary in the same district two years ago.
The state’s marquee congressional race, however, is already set: Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes, who is seeking a fourth term, will face a rematch with Republican George Logan, a former state senator. Logan lost to Hayes in 2022 by about 2,000 votes, from a quarter of a million cast.
