Rare lease opportunity in Sherman - repeatedly ranked among Connecticut's top small towns by Connecticut Magazine - in the coveted Timber Trails community. The Apple Barn is a sun-drenched 2-bed, 2-bath cottage with panoramic views of Valley Lake. This converted barn blends vintage 1940s character with sleek, modern upgrades: a fully renovated eat-in kitchen, a great room with a working stone fireplace, main-level laundry, and two spacious upper-level bedrooms. A large deck overlooks the water, and the home offers two private entrances and two dedicated parking spaces. Steps from a nature preserve for walks and cross-country skiing, it offers absolute tranquility as a weekend retreat or full-time home. Fairfield County's northernmost town, Sherman boasts a Candlewood Lake town beach with boat slips, a playhouse, library, and parks with tennis, pickleball, and ball fields, plus nearby fishing and skiing. Easy commutes: 45 min to White Plains, 60 to NYC. (*Additional interior photos coming soon.)
