It was featured in “Architectural Digest” in August 2007.

Klemm Real Estate said this is a rare Modernist Tuscan inspired property.

The villa, which is on just over 18 acres, is the longtime home of Dr. Pamela Cantor and the late Richard A. Cantor, former vice chairman of Neuberger Berman.

The architect, Steven F. Hass, told Architectural Digest that the owners commissioned the property.

And they wanted it to “reflect their passion for Tuscany – its landscape and architecture.”

Klemm Real Estate said this is a “one-of-a-kind mesmerizing architectural masterpiece" that is built with steel and glass and offers panoramic views high above Lake Waramaug.

The five-bedroom house has five full bathrooms and three half-bathrooms.

It was built in 2003.

Klemm Real Estate said the well-known landscape designer Renny Reynolds designed the grounds “to evoke Italianate gardens with a view reminiscent of the glorious Italian Lake Como.”
