Welcome to 161 Falcon Road, at Sachem's Head
Recently transformed into an iconic American estate, this property is steeped in Long Island Sound history. Once upon a time it was the location of the Sachem's Head Hotel, but has since been expanded and now re-invented by the transformative vision of a CEO from the luxury fashion brand industry. The estate is emblematic of a refined aesthetic; luxury + understated elegance + comfort = an unparalleled lifestyle!
Situated on a 2 acre promontory, with sweeping 180 degree water views, 161 Falcon Road offers the new owners a 7,671 square foot transitional classic colonial home, a re-hewn and re-constructed hip party barn, a meticulously manicured Gunite pool area, a natural stone entertaining patio and a 3-car garage with one European-style open port cochere bay.
Completed in 2016, the home was designed in collaboration with renowned architect Jack Franzen. Every detail was carefully selected to convey a taste for timeless quality and to capture the Long Island Sound water views from nearly every room!
Picture Perfect Pool with Privacy
Slip behind your manicured boxwood privacy hedges and enjoy relaxing or entertaining in your pristine pool area.
This original structure dates back to the 1800's, however the current owner disassembled it, board-by-board, had the planks re-hewn, then re-assembled and fortified with other reclaimed timbers, and installed two huge state-of-the-art fully retractable doors, creating an amazing water view entertaining space, 2nd floor office, partial kitchen, full bath and cabana changing area!
Re-designed Antique Party Barn / Pool House
What a delight for all who arrive at the front door, to be able to see right through the home, to the sea! Once you step inside, you will be smitten by the 9.5' ceilings, 8" wide plank wood floors, exquisite moldings and recessed adjustable art lighting. The foyer is 27' x 7' with the home office near the entrance and sets of clever pocket doors to give optional privacy, to the sumptuous aubergine den. The Grand Salon has 180 degree views of the sea and 3 sets of french doors leading to the bluestone patio. The Dining Room has its own set of french doors to the patio and is serviced by a fully equipped Butlers Pantry.

A Lower Level done on a higher level!
The 600 acre peninsula, that is the Sachem's Head Association, offers a genteel lifestyle comprised of 115 homes. At the heart of this community is the Sachem's Head Yacht Club, the social hub of the community. Residents often opt to become members and obtain moorings for their boats in the SHYC Harbor, often regarded as the home port of many American great sailors!
