Gather your family at this country estate

Welcome to Judd Farm – A Spacious Country Retreat on 33 Acres

Tucked into the rolling hills of Litchfield County, Judd Farm offers the comfort and character of a true New England country home—plenty of space, peace, and charm—just minutes from town. Located directly across from Judd Farm Day Camp, and part of the Watertown Country Estates collection, this large family home is the perfect place to gather for holidays, school events, reunions, or quiet escapes.

We’re just a short drive from Taft, Rumsey Hall, The Gunnery, and Westover—making Judd Farm ideal for school visits or extended family stays.

Room to Breathe, Room to Gather
With 4 large bedrooms upstairs, a library that sleeps 2 more (with full-size beds, a study table, second TV, and sofa), and common spaces including a family room with a raised-hearth fireplace and a living room with a piano and sleeper sofa, there's comfortable sleeping and hang-out space for up to 14 guests. With prior planning and approval, we can sometimes accommodate a few more.

Comfort Meets Convenience
While the setting is pure countryside—33 acres of open space, trees, and privacy—we’re only 10 minutes from downtown Watertown. You’ll find four grocery stores nearby (two deliver), a variety of great restaurants offering pickup and delivery, and Bantam Lake just a short drive away for a refreshing summer swim.

Stay Connected
Need to work remotely or stream movies for the kids? You’re covered. Judd Farm is equipped with enterprise-class internet: a Ubiquiti 1Gbps 802.11AC Pro mesh network with 200Mbps service delivers strong, fast WiFi throughout the house. Perfect for multiple video calls, remote learning, or unwinding with your favorite show.

Dining and Entertaining
The French country-style dining room seats six comfortably, and more with folding chairs in garage and around the house. The hutch is stocked with linens, platters, and serving dishes for everything from casual meals to special celebrations. The kitchen has updated appliances (as of summer 2021), and you’ll find it fully stocked with the essentials for cooking, serving, and hosting.

We’ve also converted part of the garage into a bright, spacious banquet-style area that can seat up to 30 people—ideal for small events, reunions, or group dinners. (Use is subject to prior approval and local regulations.)

Outdoor Living
Step outside to breathe in the fresh country air. You can explore the land or head down the unimproved road along Route 132—great for peaceful walks or bike rides. In the garage, you’ll find a gas grill, banquet tables, and extra chairs for outdoor meals or evening gatherings. Under the tall trees, there’s shade in the summer and endless sky at night for stargazing around the fire.

Access and Arrival
The easiest way in is through the garage—especially in snowy or rainy weather. You’ll find a lockbox on the left garage door (keyed for the right side), with two keys inside. One unlocks the garage; the other opens the side porch door. Just note: there’s no walkway yet to the porch, so in wet weather, we recommend using the garage entrance. To lock the garage from the outside, just lift and lower the door slightly before securing it.

A Home for Gatherings, A Place to Recharge
Whether you're here to reconnect with family, attend a nearby school event, or just relax in a peaceful country setting, Judd Farm offers space, comfort, and thoughtful touches to make your stay easy and memorable. We look forward to hosting you.
