Haunted or not, this place is gorgeous.

Airbnb would do good here

1.9mil for 62 acres in CT is a steal. They'll make 10x that subdividing the lots to private home buyers.

I am homeless and would love too live there and be ground keeper

Can't even believe such a place could exist in New England but it's only 62 acres

If I were a rich celebrity this would he perfect to restore. You'd have your own village! A place to hand down to generations. Very cool.

Here are some of my recollections. As a Kid my Dad Worked at AGC as Head Engineer. He along with His Engineering assistants, Both German immigrants were responsible for a lot of Schmitt's wealth. So i would say exactly he was self made. My Dad and his Employees were largely responsible for his wealth and his ability to his his extravagant buying lifestyle. He very fond of my Dad and saw his Dad's Genius potential and financial benefit to AGC his company, From what I recall He helped him financially get his engineering degree was good to my Dad. But for what ever reasons, He did not for fill all of his financial promises. So years later he left Gaining better employment elsewhere eventually working & retiring At Pratt & Whitney where he was boss of many other engineers. His Friend and assistant stayed on at AGC in the Engineering department in my Fathers role. Schmitt would frequently take them with him on his eccentric antique buying sprees as moving muscle. I'm sure they could tell you some unbelievable stories. They are both sound of mind in their mids 80s and still life long friends and We still consider him an the family as an Uncle. I sure they can enlighten you with some interesting story's.. I can remember touring the village and ferry boat as a kids, y sister and I were shocked seeing life size stuffed mannequin type people figures in the building as well as full size animals and horses. Pretty spooky for a young kids. LOL a cost effective Gold film type heat shield that kept the apollo mission from burning up when entering the atmosphere in those years In his mansion sized house his daughter showed us her world class shell collection that we were told was worth thousands at the time. My Dad and Uncle frequently fished at the lake. . One time bringing buckets of uneatable sucker fish home which were re purposed as fertilizer back then when we planted evergreens along our entire fence line, Among other Aerospace products,My Dad and his team was instrumental in developing a cost effective Gold film type heat shield that kept the Apollo mission from burning up when entering the atmosphere in those years. It was said He amassed millions from the development and sales of this product.

Haunted house / fair throughout October, to include a pumpkin patch. Christmas Village late November to December, with lights and a tree farm. Hayrides and mini camps during summer. All spring off most of winter off half of fall. I'd certainly getting to chilling.

this town will have a renewed life

This is a nice place! Would like to go see it!! Looks beautiful

Wow! Ghost town! I'd be in hog heaven to be able to restore that place! Yeah! I see and talk to dead people! No I'm not crazy! Just aware! Its not the dead people you need to be afraid of! Its the ones that are alive! Just pray for them and they will be on their way! A lil lost and just need some help! Just like a lot of us!

How much would the property tax be, probably close o the sale price.

Been there several times including 1 Christmas what happened to the huge paddle river boat that was docked in the small lake? I have several photos of it.

I would be nice to hear - what happened ? Is The DEAL DONE ? Who is The New Owner etc etc ? Surely put This Town on The MAP ! Is there more INFO - Thank You !

Imagine a world where humans cared about each other and these homes were restored by the government and open as shelters for the homeless.

Haunted? Pfffft. Nothing that a little Jesus and holy water can't cure, lol! All jokes aside, the town really is picturesque, though. It saddens me to see so many American architectural gems abandoned.

I wish I could have bought this place...but I haven’t the money.

How did the plan work out?

I want to see all haunted building

Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo) is the new owner of this town.

Everyone from CT knows it as a state worth leaving 🙄🙄. It's pretty, but the economy is awful.

Isn't this where there is a flap zone full of ghosts ,ufos ,monsters ect.? Litchfield??

“It’s like part of your soul when it’s gone it’s gone” Subliminally not worth any investment you think it is

INC Iglesia ni Cristo Church is the new owner.

Even if it's bought for 1.9m- If the person intends on restoring it back to a town, it's going to cost 100's of millions to run. You'll have to hire a small police force, fire dept, mayor, etc. You'll need to supply electric, heating etc, for the towns residents and so on. It's not worth it in the end. I would turn it into a tourist site and pay for entry - Or, build 1 giant home on 62 acres..

Taxes and State Government as idiotic as that in Connecticut... good luck!

Porque no hacen casitas para personas mayores eso es hermoso ahí.

Two years later, it's still for sale! www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/nobody-wants-to-buy-this-connecticut-ghost-town-thats-on-sale-for-dollar195-million/ar-BBBzVfK?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

I grew up close to there.

What a deal

wow fix it

wow Glory to God.

Beatifull connecticut

Bilkionkek, This is why you flip the land by selling property and build as a people. What's hundreds of millions when we spend trillions as consumers? Its called discipline and patients. Kemet(Egypt) wasn't built in a day.

I might add , As A Christian This is a great use of this property!

Be Nice To OWN a PART of The ... UNITED STATES .. Lool

Wow lubos n pinagpala tlga ang ating mga kapatid n INC.

Horrible reporter

I would like to date Michelle Miller if she let me...... But she may not like my political views. Heck never know..... She might say yes and see what develops.
