There are 24 rooms in all, 5 bedrooms, 5 ½ baths, 9 fireplaces, an indoor swimming pool and pool side area, media room, wine cellar as well as a wonderful country kitchen, paneled dining room and sitting areas.

PREVIOUS LISTING DETAILS
Two historic houses moved here, joined together and painstakingly restored on 245 acres, midway between Millbrook and Millerton. Sweeping mountain views. Woods, meadows, old orchards, stone walls, ponds and gardens. A pool and guest house reached by a colonnaded pathway, several barns, tenant house and gate house make up this very special private domain.
As were the families of Revolutionary War Captains Oliver Hanchett and Lemuel Bates commingled first in honor and then by marriage of their son and daughter, so has Daryl Hall, the renowned performer (of Hall and Oates), conjoined their ancestral homes -- the disestablished and re-erected 1786 Oliver Hanchett House from Suffield, CT and the nearby 1770 Bates Tavern of East Granby, CT -- through a beamed, fireplace and catwalked great room to create a cohesive 24 room country manor house. Basically a tavern and a house adjoined together. Daryl Hall restored this house. He is well known for buying and restoring homes throughout the United States and England including Maine’s oldest dwelling, the John Bray House built in 1662.
