The 8,000sf Restaurant seemingly has it all with its pedigreed chefs/owners Sarah and Bernard Bouissou, trained in southwest France before their employ at some of the finest restaurants in NYC (Le Cirque and Tavern on the Green). Sarah and Bernard use seasonal grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs sourced directly from their property, along with their boutique-pasture raised poultry to serve their guests. This means of select food source expands the “fork to table” concept to a whole new level of eatery-tainment. The restaurant seats 120 guests, plus 95 more in Sarah’s Wine Bar which offers select wines, a complete wine cellar, and a bistro-menu along with lively entertainment. The out-door patio, surrounded by beautiful gardens, seats up to 100 guests .Catering is another adjunct to this highly respected business, serving events from 8 to 800 guests with meticulous attention to menu planning, floral arrangements, entertainment and staffing. For the right restauranteur, it has the potential to be a far-more substantial part of the restau-rant’s income with the ability to offer small receptions, rehearsal dinners, banquets, weddings on and off premises, and with a little imagination, perhaps a small, hidden outdoor chapel as the perfect place to say, “I do”. Ridgefield, CT is the perfect setting for this iconic Restaurant and Homestead with the possibility of a Bed & Breakfast conversion using the 6BR home. Nestled in one of Fairfield County’s “Best Towns to Live In”, the property harmoniously balances New England rustic elegance and classic charm, but is by no means pretentious. The circa 1875 offering is a rare opportunity to purchase a restaurant, residence, catering company, and lovely property which has been a land-mark for the past 20 years and continues to be a favored staple in the community and surrounding area. After the past two decades of serving the community, both owners have elected to retire and make this notably successful and lucrative business(s) available to the right purchaser who might share their passion and mindset. Please understand with this purchase you are not only buying a business, but a lifestyle. The six bedroom home features over 4,100 square feet of country elegance. The residence includes a recently updated gourmet kitchen and a wonderful master bedroom suite with private bath. The inviting pool area is ideal for entertaining with an expansive patio with seating for 30 guests, surrounded by an expansive lawn, flower beds and a variety of fruit trees.
