Across eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island, this trio of properties is defined by acreage, privacy, and the kind of outdoor living that makes room for both quiet routines and lively gatherings. Each home pairs generous grounds with lifestyle amenities, from pools and fenced entertaining areas to gardens and wooded retreats. Practical flexibility is a shared throughline as well, with multi-bay garages, outbuildings, finished lower-level space, and bonus rooms supporting hobbies, work, and long-term possibilities that extend beyond a standard single-family footprint.

Downstairs, a finished basement expands the home’s flexibility, equally suited to entertaining or relaxed movie nights.

Bethany Johnsen

Tucked away on a quiet road in Smithfield, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage unfolds as a private retreat on 2.33 wooded acres, pairing classic cottage charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. At the center, a newly renovated kitchen is designed for everyday breakfasts as well as weekend culinary experiments. Outside, an expansive yard encourages unhurried afternoons—whether spent beside the sparkling inground pool or tending the designated planting area. A 580-square-foot outbuilding with electricity, currently in need of rehab, adds welcome flexibility for hobbies, a workshop, or a dedicated escape. The property also offers the possibility of subdivision, with potential for an acre lot accessible from a nearby cul-de-sac (subject to conditions). With Stillwater Pond Dam close by and quick access to Interstate 295, life here feels both grounded in nature and comfortably connected.
