Mallard Pond is one of Ridgefield's most distinguished country estates, beautifully situated on 5.71 pastoral acres that feature a scenic pond in a prime equestrian area, with nearby stables and riding trails. This architectural masterpiece, custom built in 2006, showcases a majestic blend of classical design elements influenced by five historic late 18th and early 19th-century Virginia plantation homes. Spanning approximately 10,000 square feet, this exceptional residence includes 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths, along with luxurious amenities such as 7 fireplaces, a second-floor "Oak Room" bar, a separate meditation pavilion/studio, and a full apartment on the lower level with private entry. The gated entry is adorned with authentic gas lights, and the exquisite interiors showcase reclaimed cherry hardwood floors, plaster-cast crown moldings, and detailed paneling and trim work. The gourmet kitchen opens to a spacious family room with a cathedral ceiling, while the formal living and dining rooms, mahogany library, and conservatory provide ample space for entertaining. Upstairs, the master suite includes a sitting room, dressing area, and luxurious bath, along with three additional en-suite bedrooms and an office. The lower garden level features a recreation room, exercise room, and an in-law or au pair suite with a separate entry. Set against a backdrop of stone walls, meadows, and meandering brooks, the estate features a 50-foot heated saltwater lap pool
