Everything about the property at 271 Hunting Ridge Road in Stamford, CT, caters to the luxury-minded homebuyer.

A gated lot, wraparound terrace, and an indoor waterfall are just a few of the upscale features that ensure the next owners of this historic hunting lodge won’t want for much.

The Connecticut castle, set on more than three acres, is listed for $1,995,000—a more than $400,000 price drop from the property’s initial June 2022 listing.

Rock of love

Known as Chateau Rochamore, the home has a medieval-inspired facade that gives it a centuries-old aesthetic. It was built in 1906, though.

The palatial space was constructed by renowned architect Gustav Steinbeck and took three years to complete.

“It is more than just a home—it’s a unique castle! Drive through the gates to your private estate set on a tranquil oasis,” the listing invites.

And if the acreage is more than a buyer wants to take on, the land can be subdivided.

The 6,477-square-foot castle has five bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The spacious floor plan features ample communal living space, including a great hall with 30-foot-high beamed ceilings.

And what castle would be complete without its own turret? Even the garage comes with gargoyles affixed to its exterior.

But the grandeur doesn’t stop there. On the first floor, there is a large stone fireplace and a light-filled breakfast room with French doors that open to a private backyard—complete with a manicured lawn and koi pond.

And the house isn’t just a time capsule of refinery; it has been updated with all the necessary modern comforts.

There are hardwood floors throughout, and the kitchen has recently been outfitted with new Carrara marble and limestone flooring.

Chateau Rochamore answers the call for city dwellers yearning for a weekend retreat, as it’s only a little more than an hour from Manhattan by train or 13 minutes by car.
