Boxwood Farm, a circa 1765 home perched atop Taunton Hill, offers a rare blend of history and luxury. Set on 2.51 acres of stonewalled grounds, the property boasts original chestnut floors, multiple fireplaces, and sun-drenched living spaces that highlight its extraordinary craftsmanship.
Every detail has been restored, from its vintage fixtures to the hand-hewn beams. The living room, featuring double fireplaces and French doors leading to a screened-in porch, sets the tone for the home’s grandeur. The eat-in kitchen is equally impressive, featuring handmade cabinetry, Copenhagen countertops, Gaggenau appliances, and a La Cornue range.
But the home's underground taproom may be its most intriguing feature. With a copper ceiling, wrought-iron lights, and a solid maple bar, the space reportedly served as a Prohibition-era speakeasy — and, according to local lore, was once a favorite hideaway for Monroe.
The estate’s main level includes a private suite with a herringbone marble bath, while the upper floors house a sprawling primary suite, additional guest quarters, and a fully finished third level ideal for relaxation. Outside, a back porch and stone patio offer serene views of the park-like grounds.
One of Newtown’s most cherished properties, Boxwood Farm is a rare opportunity for those seeking history, elegance, and a touch of old Hollywood mystery — all within minutes of Main Street and just 75 miles from New York City.
