_____________________________________________

Set on Candlewood Lake and just outside the bustling city of Danbury, the superlative loveliness of New Fairfield has made it a popular summer resort area for most of this century.  Today, the picturesque beauty of the town provides the perfect setting for an abundance of exciting and diverse new home development.

The majority of new construction is in the western section of town where easy access to Interstate 84 provides convenient commutes to Westchester County and White Plains, New York.  Preservation of the high, rolling hills, woodlands and large lots are assured by a 2-acre minimum lot requirement for most new construction.

In addition to new development in town, Candlewood Lake offers a variety of new, contemporary structures and existing homes in the classic styles of the 1940s and 1950s.  Many of these older homes have been converted for year-round enjoyment.

Candlewood Lake also provides year-round outdoor activities, as do Squantz Pond State Park and the town's two ponds.  Ice skating, boating, fishing, cross-country skiing and hiking are just a few of the many recreational possibilities.  The New Fairfield high school offers indoor swimming to students and residents.

Cultural activities include exceptional performances throughout the year at Gateway's Candlewood Playhouse, praised as the best summer stock troupe in the surrounding communities.  An active Historical Society, the Art Society and the Community Chorus promote the town's avid interest in culture and the arts.
