Property Description
AUCTION: Bidder registration deadline: 3 December. Starting bids expected between $2M and $3.5M. Known as Filston, this Gilded Age estate was built between 1903 and 1906 for Romulus Riggs Colgate, grandson of the Colgate founder. It remains one of the last intact estates of its era in Litchfield County, with a historic 5,700-square-foot carriage house on its own parcel. The 12,000-square-foot residence by architect J. William Cromwell, Jr. blends Italian Renaissance, Palladian, Neo-Gothic, and French Empire elements, with interiors shaped by Louis XIV and XV motifs. Across 106 acres, meadows, woodlands, and equestrian trails unfold within the New England landscape, with Sharon's charming village center just moments away.
