Pricing the Home You're Leaving
A downsizing seller here often has real equity built up over years. Pricing it correctly, on frontage, dock rights, and water depth, protects that equity.

Home to Morris Town Beach and the state boat launch, the smaller of the two Bantam Lake towns.
Morris is the smaller of the two Bantam Lake towns and hosts Morris Town Beach and the state boat launch at 16 Palmer Road, the lake's main public boating access point.
- Why people choose it
- Buyers who want to be close to the lake's main public boat launch, in a small Litchfield County town.
- Nearby
- Morris Town Beach, the state boat launch at 16 Palmer Road, and Sandy Beach, which Morris runs jointly with Litchfield.
- 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.
