Take Flight

Here’s a home that brings new meaning to the notion of getting away from it all. This secluded retreat at the end of a private lane off Luke’s Wood Road in New Canaan is a great escape in its own right, but you can also make a quick exit via helicopter from the backyard. While helicopter landings are not allowed in New Canaan, this unique eight-acre estate bordering a land trust includes nearly two acres in Pound Ridge, New York, where landings and take-offs are permitted on personal property. Other features include a putting green, a large stone terrace, an oversized heated pool and spa, and a custom pool house with cathedral ceiling, bamboo walls, full bar, bath and changing room. The ultimate getaway? Absolutely. Listed with Barbara Cleary’s Realty Guild for $3,695,000. realty-guild.com
