Easton Connecticut

One of Fairfield county’s most rural towns, Easton prides itself on maintaining its country charm and beauty. Hills running along the Aspetuck River and 10 working farms including fruit orchards, dairy and Christmas tree farms create Easton’s seclusion that draws those who enjoy the country.

Aquarion Water Company, the major water supplier in the area, owns half of the town’s property, including three vast reservoirs surrounded by 7,500 acres of forest, preserving the tranquil setting and limiting development. While Easton is filled with antique homes, farms and farmhouses, there are newer homes mixed in with colonials.

The Connecticut Golf Club and Aspetuck Valley Country Club offer extra social and recreational activities to its members.
