Sharon estate with pistol range listed for $5.5M
SHARON — The main house on the property at 93 Amenia Union Road in Sharon was built in the 1800s, but beyond the period details and vintage façade are a host of modern features.
Listed for $5.5 million, the 12,759 square-foot estate has nine bedrooms and 11 full bathrooms, according to the listing, and has a “selection of newer buildings and barns” on its nearly 24 acres of land. Compared to other available listings in Sharon,
the Amenia Union Road home is notable for more than just its structure — its price tag makes it the most expensive listing currently on the market in town, with the second highest being a plot of 242 acres of land for $5.3 million.
Inside the main residence, there are five bedrooms, nine bathrooms and seven fireplaces, along with a formal dining room, living room, kitchen, breakfast room and wood-paneled study. There’s also an “adjoining residence” that has three bedrooms and two kitchens, the listing notes, and features “cathedral wood-beam ceilings,” an enclosed terrace and an indoor pool and spa. Also on the property’s lower level is a recreation space, which has a wine cellar with exposed brick walls, woodpaneled ceilings and several wine storage bays.
Additionally, the lower level features a fullyequipped gym that's currently outfitted with a tanning bed. A sauna and an indoor pistol range round out the lower-level recreation area's amenities.
Outside the residence, there are three barns: an eight-stall horse barn, an antique barn and one with a car lift, according to the listing. There’s also a guest house above the garage, a greenhouse in the garden and a tennis court with a viewing deck for any house guests-turned-spectators, as well riding paths that run throughout the property.
