1960s Wilton ranch features 2-acre wooded lot and well-preserved interior layout, asks 1.09 million

279 Cheesespring Road, Wilton, CT 06897 — 279 Cheesespring Road in Wilton, Connecticut, listed at 1.09M

Nestled amid mature landscaping and peaceful wooded scenery, a classic 1963 ranch-style home in Wilton has been listed for $1.09 million. The single-family residence combines a highly private, multi-acre natural retreat with a spacious, well-preserved interior layout.

Set on 2.24 acres of level, park-like grounds that include a private wooded walking path, the clapboard-clad home offers a quiet country escape just a short distance from Wilton’s local parks, library, and public recreation facilities.

Inside the 1,899-square-foot home, the main level features a clean, intact mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic. Original hardwood floors stretch through the main living areas, including a front living room centered around a brick fireplace. An adjacent den features a bright skylight and space for shelving.

The kitchen and bathrooms retain their previous renovations, maintaining a clean, classic footprint. The dining room features sliding doors that open up to a massive rear deck. For multi-season outdoor enjoyment, a screened-in porch connects the deck back to the interior den, creating an ideal layout for indoor-outdoor hosting overlooking the serene backyard and historic stone walls.

The main floor accommodates three bedrooms, including an ensuite primary bedroom with its own full bath.

The home’s livable space doubles with a fully finished, heated, and cooled lower level. This versatile floor features a spacious common recreation and play room, a laundry area, a dedicated workshop, and a home office with its own direct-access door to the backyard. A converted fourth bedroom on this level offers excellent flexibility for guests.

Practical infrastructure additions to the property include energy-efficient insulation, windows, and a whole-house backup generator.

The property hit the market on May 14, 2026, with an annual tax rate of $13,521. Representing a solid, timeless slice of Fairfield County living, the home is listed at $574 per square foot for a total of $1.09 million.
