Selling Your Home in Newtown
A number that accounts for frontage, dock rights, and cove protection, not square footage.
Selling on Either Lake
Chelsea Stinson works both lakes that touch Newtown, Lillinonah and Zoar, and prices a listing for the lake it actually sits on, not a generic lake comp pulled from the wrong water.

What Your Newtown Home Is Actually Worth
Frontage, dock rights, water depth, and which lake the property is on all move price here. A Zoar-side home with a slip at Eichler's Cove is a different proposition than a Lillinonah-side home on a private dock, and the valuation reflects that.
Why Newtown Sellers Work With Chelsea
Chelsea runs the same Waterfront Value Audit on every listing regardless of which lake it's on, and confirms dock documentation and permit status before pricing, since Eichler's Cove requires its own permit and Lillinonah's shoreline rules are strictly enforced.
Chelsea's Process for Selling in Newtown
The full process is on how we sell. In Newtown specifically, that starts with confirming which lake and what access the property actually has before a number is discussed.
Newtown's Two Lakes
Eichler's Cove Marina on the Zoar side offers real slips and amenities. The Lillinonah side relies on private and community docks through access points like the Pond Brook Launch. Buyers searching Newtown are often comparing both.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it matter which lake my home is on?
Yes. Dock access, permitting, and the buyer pool differ between the Zoar side and the Lillinonah side, and the valuation accounts for that.
Does Chelsea know both lakes, or just one?
Both. She works Lillinonah directly (she lives on it, in Brookfield) and Zoar through the same process.
Newtown
What selling your home looks like in Newtown
One of two Lake Lillinonah towns that also borders Lake Zoar, with a real marina at Eichler's Cove.
Newtown is one of only two Lake Lillinonah towns that also border Lake Zoar (Southbury is the other), giving buyers a choice between two different lakes without changing towns, and the only one of the two with a full-service marina on the Zoar side.
- Why people choose it
- Buyers weighing two different lakes, Zoar's longer river-like runs or Lillinonah's quieter coves, who want the option without picking a different town.
- Nearby
- Eichler's Cove Marina on Lake Zoar (marina, boat launch, small beach, permit required), and the Pond Brook Launch on the Brookfield/Newtown line for Lillinonah access. Convenient to I-84 and Route 34.
- The trade-off
- No full-service marina on the Lillinonah side, mostly private and community docks there, traded for direct access to two lakes and a real marina on the Zoar side.
