A sprawling 61 Ely Road estate in Farmington, Connecticut, has hit the market for $4 million, offering over 12,000 square feet of luxury living across 4.74 acres. Built between 2002 and 2007, the stone-and-shingle main house features custom mahogany doors with stained glass, a pizza oven, home gym, and six bedrooms with eleven bathrooms total.

What sets this property apart is its underground tunnel connecting the main house to a historic ridgeline building with panoramic views stretching to New York state. The tunnel was built because local regulations prevented moving the existing structure during construction. Outside, a fish-shaped grotto pool and 1,800-square-foot carriage house with six-car capacity complete the grounds.

The estate was originally built for developer and philanthropist Mark Wilson and his wife Wendy, who decorated it with three cow statues including a signed piece by artist Peter Max. While the statues aren't included, the owners may negotiate their sale. According to real estate tracking firm Redfin, Farmington's 06032 ZIP code has a median price of $348,000, making this listing significantly above local averages.
