TOP 12 THINGS WE'LL MISS ABOUT LIFE AT MINE HILL ROAD ...
1. Living on one of Fairfield’s designated “scenic roads.” We always
loved turning into the tree-lined driveway of our Interior haven, a
special place we have enjoyed for over 35 years — all of the special
features & appointments designed by Cameron Clark.
2. The seclusion and serenity of the property with its natural surroundings and
wildlife habitat, enjoying the plentiful birds that visit our feeders and nest in our
bird houses. Only the pesky deer have been excluded by a fenced-in back yard to
protect our perennial gardens and specimen plantings
3. The ever changing vista overlooking the Town of Fairfield & Long Island Sound,
especially spectacular sunrises & sunsets.
4. The walks throughout the neighborhood and to the Greenfield Hill green,
particularly during the Dogwood Festival.
5. The gatherings with family and friends on our patio watching sailboats
traversing Long Island Sound.
6. Passing the day sitting on our elevated deck in the shade of the awning on a
warm summer day.
7. Watching our children and, more recently, our grandchildren scoot up and
down our driveway on their bikes or sleds.
8. The warming southern exposure of our principle living areas, especially bright
sunny mornings in the winter eating breakfast in the great room with its passive
solar system of skylights and ceiling fan.
9. The gatherings in the lower level family room watching our favorite TV shows
or a good movie and enjoying a challenging game of pool with a roaring fire in
the fall and winter.
10. Quiet nights in the library with a warm fire & a good book.
11. Decorating the house and barn with Christmas wreaths and setting up the
Christmas tree in the front living room window.
12. Celebrating so many family events in this home, graduations, surprise birthday parties,
weddings and even tributes to those we have lost.
