Starcastle: An Extraordinary Estate with Sweeping Views of Two State Parks

Introducing Starcastle—a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Connecticut’s most iconic homes. Perched high above the landscape and nestled between Squantz Pond State Park and Pootatuck State Forest, this whimsical 4-bedroom, 5-bath architectural gem spans 23.5 private acres of wooded seclusion, sculpted gardens, and panoramic vistas. Known affectionately by locals as The Mushroom House, Starcastle is as much a sanctuary as it is a work of art—designed to celebrate light, nature, and the quiet luxury of complete privacy.

Whether you’re entertaining on a grand scale, seeking the perfect space for multi-generational living, or dreaming of a private artist’s retreat, Starcastle offers room to thrive. Every room frames a view—rolling hills, treetops, or the protected landscape beyond—and the layout flows effortlessly between expansive gathering spaces and serene private quarters. A sparkling in-ground pool, attached and detached garages, and RV/boat pad add function to the fantasy.

Surrounded by protected land, this property feels like its own private kingdom—yet remains just a short, scenic drive from NYC. Starcastle also presents incredible potential as a wedding venue, high-end Airbnb, or unforgettable weekend escape.

Adding a heartfelt twist, this one-of-a-kind home is part of a creative partnership with Housatonic Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore in Danbury. Throughout the home, hand-selected furnishings and décor from Danbury ReStore are thoughtfully displayed—not as staging, but as a living showcase of the nonprofit’s mission to support safe, affordable housing across our community.

Schedule your private tour today and experience the wonder, privacy, and purposeful living that only Starcastle can offer. A home this rare doesn’t just make memories—it builds them.
