Relo to Connecticut

Hey folks, we had to be back in the north east, so Ridgefield, CT it is. I sold my Sport-N before we headed to FL. 3 years ago, so looking for some skiing near by. I'll prly look for a boat over the winter.

Please chime in if you're close, and have some recommendations.

One of my co-workers mentioned some folks that drop in a course nearby...but just some free-skiing is good for me ;-)

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Mark

ahhh, I believe that would be Lumberyard, and a couple of others. :-)

Look when you have something constructive to post, like a nice Southwind-OB for me and the fam, and a nice ski lake, chime back!!! ;-)

Yeah, there are plenty of big friggin' mansions...I'm not in one of those, or I'd be digging my own ski pond! Good thing to, or all you crazies would be sleeping in my back yard :-)

Thanks for the heads up Wind....yeah, you're right on yuppie-ville, but we'll suck it up. This town was the best option for schools and proximity to HPN, where I do that pilot-thing....

I told my wife my new hobby after skiing will be hanging at starbucks scoping out Ridgefield mommies with low self-esteem....she wasn't impressed ;-)

Zoar or Lillinonah for skiing, Candlewood also an option. We are about an hour north of Ridgfield, though we don't do much boating down that way.

Too bad you already pulled the trigger...google Sunset Hall, Robert Vaughns (The Man from U.N.C.L.E) old house. Just reduced at auction to a paltry $4.75 million...although at 19,500 square feet it might not meet your needs...

Lived so many places in Ridgefield, funnest was upstairs apt adjoining building next to Galloways Pub, was very best bar in town..down the stairs and maybe 20 feet to the door.... oh what fun haha ..... then it blew up and literally actually disapeared from an awesome gasline explosion, and the fire marshal quickly gave us the boot...

From there moved to great carriage house apt on the Arnold Bread estate, another magnificent RF property....again....such a great town....nice choice...congrats!

Then you can't be more than 2 minutes from the Arnold Estate at most. Estate surrounded by Eleven Levels Rd, just zillowed...current avg home price +- $1 million.

PS: if you're not aware, it's all nice around there, but Eleven Levels quite a bit more exclusive and so priced accordingly.....
