While the New Haven County town of Guilford may not openly flaunt its prosperity in the same way wealthy coastal towns like Westport do, that’s not to say you won’t find some spectacular real estate in the area.
In fact, one newly listed Guilford property is giving Connecticut’s priciest coastal towns some well-deserved competition.
Consisting of 3 separate waterfront properties with a combined 1,900 feet of Connecticut shoreline on Long Island Sound, the newly listed 215 Uncas Point Rd hit the market for a hefty $35 million (Joe Piscitelli and John Guarino of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury hold the listing).
The asking price makes it the most expensive mainland property for sale in Connecticut’s New Haven County. And it comes with its own Stonehenge, a little castle for meditation, a gorgeous main house, and all the amenities one might need to turn this trio into a veritable waterfront oasis.

It consists of 3 separate properties
Combined, the three properties span 13 acres and have a total of 1,900 feet of Connecticut shoreline on Long Island Sound.
Included in the price are a 5,534-square-foot, 6-bedroom main house; a 3-bedroom, 3,583-square-foot guest house on a neighboring lot; and another lot across the drive that can be split into two building sites.
An interesting collection of amenities adds to the appeal, ranging from three deep-water docks and a boat lift, to sports-centric ones like a tennis/basketball court and a go-kart track, to a vineyard, orchards, and manicured gardens.
But it also has a replica of Stonehenge and a meditation building designed like a castle.
One of the finest waterfront properties on the Connecticut Shoreline
It’s not just the price point that makes this property stand out. With its generous acreage and water frontage, 215 Uncas Point Rd can be used as a private residence, a compound for family vacations, or be turned into a high-end development, the real estate agents share.
“Guilford is becoming as highly in demand as Westport, and this opportunity to own such a large swath of property along the shoreline is unprecedented,” listing agent Joe Piscitelli tells us. “It’s a chance to dream big and make it happen in one of Connecticut’s most scenic locales.”
The main house
Anchoring the 13-acre property collection is a 5,534-square-foot main house with expansive water views.
The elegant 2009-built home features 6 well-appointed bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms and one half bath, with sophisticated, wood-clad interiors and picture windows to take in the generous Long Island Sound views.
The guest house
Set on a separate parcel that neighbors the main house, the guest house adds to the overall living space: it has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 3,583 sq. ft. of living space, plus a separate 942 square-foot in-law/staff quarters.
The third lot
This property is situated across the drive and can potentially be subdivided into two building sites, per the listing. While more modestly built compared to the other parcels, it features a carriage house, dock, and a sandy beach.

A long list of amenities
The main house has a beautiful outdoor area that includes a swimming pool, spa and kitchen.
But the amenities extend beyond the main house. Taking advantage of its water-facing location, the property has three deep-water docks and a boat lift, and there’s also a tennis/basketball court, and go-kart track on its grounds.
It also has a vineyard, fruits trees, orchards, and manicured gardens to give it a true compound feel.
Unique highlights: a little castle, Stonehenge replica
Our favorite amenities though are its absolutely unique additions, like a Stonehenge replica built amidst its sprawling gardens, and a meditation building designed to look like an Old World castle.
Can be redeveloped in several ways
Its generous 13 acres can easily accommodate further development. In fact, the entire property can be redeveloped to suit its future owner’s needs.
Options for this property might include operating as a private residence, a compound for family vacations, or turning it into a high-end, waterfront development, as the real estate agents pointed out.
Now on the market for $35M
To take advantage of all the possibilities, interested buyers will have to shell out a hefty $35 million. Joe Piscitelli and John Guarino of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury have been tasked with finding a buyer for this standout Connecticut listing.
