A Rare Mixed Use Offering with River Access in the Heart of Old Lyme Village. Set in the center of Old Lyme Village, this storied 1897 landmark, originally the James Bugbee Store offers a compelling opportunity to reimagine a historic property as a refined live/work compound or gallery driven residence. The flexible zoning allows for both residential and commercial use, making it particularly well suited for those seeking a seamless integration of business, creativity, and home. Positioned on an expansive parcel within the desirable Turtle Fields Association, the property includes shared dock access to the Lieutenant River, an exceptional amenity that brings the water directly into daily life and elevates the overall experience of the setting. The grounds are a defining feature, with three separate barns, a storage structure, and a generous yard creating a rare framework for a thoughtfully designed compound. Whether envisioned as a primary residence paired with a studio or gallery, a boutique workspace with private living quarters, or a creative retreat, the configuration supports both lifestyle and function. Inside the structure reflects its late 19th century origins, offering scale, character, and an open layout ready for purposeful transformation. Just moments from the Village's cultural landmarks, including the Florence Griswold Museum, Old Lyme Inn, the Cooley Gallery, and the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts, all in a setting long embraced by artists and collectors.
