Just outside of the artistic village of Stony Creek in Branford, Connecticut sits a true legend in the iconic “Lakso Farm” a.k.a. “The Old Stone Barn Farm of Stony Creek”. Frozen in time and weathered, the iconic farmhouse and old stone barn stand like beacons for those making their way back to the shoreline and Thimble Islands after a long week in the city. The farmhouse itself is rich in history; cared for almost two and one-half centuries by among others, a Town Selectman, teachers, and a pioneer of “moving pictures”. Purchased in 1925 by a talented stone mason by trade and his wife, the fabulous Leetes Island Road location, just off of Interstate 95 at Exit 56, still provides a perfect quick on and off for residents and visitors on their way home or to visit the scenic shoreline. The land was bestowed the prestigious A.V.A. Designation; designating it as a Viticultural Area with soils second only to the Connecticut River Valley and well suited for a Shoreline Vineyard. The “farm” is composed of four parcels, at just under 63 acres. The largest of the four parcels, directly across from the farmhouse and stone barn, totals 34.3 acres. The farm itself, on the opposite side of Leetes Island Road sits on 5.8 acres and embraces the farmhouse, stone barn, milk house, farm stand, and other structures. Almost 20 acres of spectacularly textured land is situated across Red Hill Road, while the remaining 3 acres is located two parcels down Leetes Island Road, closer to Stony Creek.

7,000+ square feet of living space on almost 2.5 acres!! Endless possibilities! Storybook property, in fantastic location, currently home to Club 251; formerly the Madison Winter Club. While property is in an R-1 residential zone, the structure can still function as a club. Maybe a Fine Dining Club? Proximity to commercial zone might surface other potential options with approval from Zoning and the Economic Development Committee. Sub-division or condominiums might be worth exploring. This stately structure has an interesting history. In 1950 a barn was moved from the upper parking lot to join the house, thus forming what is now the ballroom. The purpose, though, was to start a restaurant called "The Carriage Drive". The property was later sold in 1954 and continued as a restaurant. In 1956 the property was sold to the Madison Winter Club. Club Governors did not wish for the location to remain idle during the summer months. So, they leased the property to the chef who operated a public restaurant under the name of Madison Post House. The property boasts a restaurant worthy chef's kitchen, large ballroom and formal dining area complete with beautiful oak bar with full compliment of appliances. The second floor embraces a large, well kept, two bedroom apartment complete with granite kitchen, laundry room and separate entrance. Ballroom opens to a spacious patio adjacent to a substantial parking area with space for approximately 60 cars.
