10 Hillcrest Ct
Ridgefield, CT
Welcome to 10 Hillcrest Court
Perched high above Lake Mamanasco at one of Ridgefield’s most breathtaking vantage points, this extraordinary modern retreat was designed for those who seek beauty, privacy, and a profound connection to nature.
Originally crafted by award-winning builder Karl Lecher, the residence is a masterful blend of architectural vision and timeless craftsmanship. Steel beam construction, exceptional insulation, soaring volumes, and expansive walls of glass create a home that feels both grounded in nature and effortlessly elevated above it.
From nearly every room, uninterrupted year-round views unfold across shimmering waters, rolling ridgelines, and distant mountains beyond. Sunrise here is nothing short of cinematic — golden light pours through the home each morning, transforming the landscape into a living work of art.
A dramatic approach welcomes you across a charming bridge entrance surrounded by mature perennial gardens, natural rock outcroppings, and specimen trees, setting the tone for the serenity that defines the property. Inside, sunlight floods the interiors through oversized windows and skylights, while warm maple flooring, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and refined architectural details create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and inviting.
Designed for effortless entertaining and everyday luxury living, the main level flows seamlessly from the striking chef’s kitchen to expansive dining and gathering spaces, all opening to sweeping and expansive decks suspended among the treetops. Whether hosting sunset dinners, enjoying morning coffee above the lake, or watching Ridgefield’s Fourth of July fireworks illuminate the sky, every moment here feels extraordinary.
The private primary suite occupies its own level — a tranquil sanctuary immersed in panoramic views — complete with a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and dedicated laundry. Additional 6 bedrooms and flexible living spaces offer endless possibilities for guests, multigenerational living, wellness spaces, remote work, or a quiet retreat.
The walk-out lower level offers exceptional versatility with separate access, living areas, laundry, and kitchenette.
Plans are available to transform the detached garage into a future carriage house, guest retreat, or creative studio.
Bordering protected Ridgefield Conservancy land and tucked away on a quiet town-maintained road, the property offers extraordinary privacy while remaining moments from everyday conveniences. Ridgefield’s top-rated schools, renowned cultural attractions, and the town’s regularly photographed historic Main Street are all just minutes away. Residents also enjoy the unique lifestyle benefits of Lake Mamanasco, including a private beach, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and peaceful lakeside recreation throughout the seasons.
Recently enhanced with extensive updates including a newer roof, newly painted interiors, solid maple flooring, updated kitchen finishes, new well system, and designer furnishings, this is a truly turnkey offering.
Approximately one hour from Manhattan, 10 Hillcrest Court is more than a home — it is a year-round sanctuary above the lake, where architecture, landscape, and light exist in perfect harmony.
