Fourth of July in New Canaan. Hiking one of the most beautifully natural spots in New Canaan and Wilton. Happy 4th.

I have just listed this incredible 24 acres of land in New Canaan, which adjoins another 100 acres in Wilton. It is naturally beautiful, pristine, private and secluded. The listed price is $11,500,000 and it would make an incredible compound or equestrian estate.

One of the simple but great things about New Canaan.

The pool at The New Canaan YMCA is my favorite place to go in the morning to swim laps. The water is warm, it is quiet, there is no internet or TV and it is not crowded. You can actually hear yourself think. The Y offers many things of benefit for people of all ages. Check it out   http://www.newcanaanymca.org/
