Relocating to Litchfield
Most buyers on Candlewood are coming from New York, Westchester, or Fairfield County. This is who helps them land right.
Choosing a Natural Lake Over a Reservoir
A relocating buyer who specifically wants a natural lake, not a managed reservoir, often lands on Litchfield. Chelsea Stinson can speak to that trade-off directly.

What relocation looks like in Litchfield
Home to the Bantam section of town, where Point Folly sits on Bantam Lake, Connecticut's largest natural lake.
Litchfield is one of the two towns on Bantam Lake, Connecticut's largest natural lake at roughly 947 acres, not a reservoir, so it is not part of FirstLight's lake management the way Candlewood, Lillinonah, and Zoar are. Point Folly, a peninsula on the lake, sits in Litchfield's Bantam section.
- Why people choose it
- Buyers drawn to a natural lake outside the FirstLight system, in a historic Litchfield County town.
- Nearby
- Point Folly, on the Bantam Lake peninsula. Sandy Beach, the lake's larger public beach, is jointly run by Litchfield and Morris together. The White Memorial Conservation Area borders the lake.
- The trade-off
- Different boating rules than Candlewood: no motors 11pm-5am, a 6 mph limit in Nick's Cove, and a 150-foot towing buffer, traded for a natural lake that never drops for the season.
