Private, discreet guidance for buying and selling waterfront and lake-access homes across New Milford, Brookfield, Sherman, New Fairfield, and Danbury — from an agent who lives the lake life, not a national portal.
No pressure, no spam, no portal runaround — one trusted local expert. This is not an MLS/IDX search site.
Buying, selling, or renting your place out. Takes 30 seconds and I'll reach out personally. No obligation, ever.
A portal sees four walls near some water. That is where most listings start and end.
Golden hours, quiet coves, the dock at 7am. Buyers pay for the life. Your marketing should show it.
Frontage, water depth, dock rights, the right cove. A real number takes a real local.
Get my lake value →Portals guess. Frontage, water depth, dock rights, and the right cove decide what a lake home is actually worth. Tell me the address and I will send a real comp-based value within 24 hours.
Three fields, 30 seconds. I reply personally within 24 hours.
272 Candlewood Lake Road North in New Milford went under contract in about two and a half weeks. The same marketing that sold it is what your home gets: elevated presentation, real pricing work, and a buyer pool that already lives for this lake.
272 Candlewood Lake Rd N, New Milford · SmartMLS #26226253 · Listed by Connor Kostyra, RE/MAX Rise · Under contract 7/18/2026 · Status and days on market per SmartMLS, deemed reliable, not guaranteed.
272 Candlewood Lake Rd N figures per SmartMLS #26226253, deemed reliable, not guaranteed.
I own Lakeside Watersports, the Candlewood watersports brand that lake families already know. That means your listing is not marketed by an agent guessing at lake life. It is marketed by the person living it, to an audience of boaters, renters, and weekenders no other agent can reach.
Sellers hire the agent whose marketing looks the most like their home deserves. This site, that brand, and the marketing behind 272 are the proof.

I'm Connor Kostyra — a Candlewood Lake REALTOR® with RE/MAX Rise. I don't dabble in the lake; I live it. From dock permits and lake-association rules to which coves hold value and how to price a one-of-a-kind waterfront home, I give you the kind of on-the-water knowledge a national portal simply can't. Whether you're buying your first weekend retreat or selling a legacy property, you get one discreet, responsive expert from first call to closing day.
Waterfront is its own market — and the wrong agent costs you real money. Here's what a true Candlewood specialist brings.
Frontage, water depth, dock rights, and lake-association rules vary cove to cove. I know what's permitted, what adds value, and what to verify before you fall in love.
There's no clean comp for a unique waterfront property. I price with paired-sales analysis and real frontage/access data — not a portal's auto-estimate.
Many lake sellers and high-net-worth buyers want privacy. You get one professional, quiet and responsive — never a call-center or a wall of spam.
Most lake buyers come from the NYC metro. I run video tours, walk properties for you, and translate "the lake life" so you can buy confidently from a distance.
Golden-hour boat rides, quiet coves, and a home you're proud to come back to — about 75–90 minutes from Manhattan.
Real client reviews are added here as they come in — never invented. If we've worked together on the lake, your honest review helps the next family find their way to Candlewood.
A short, plain-English read on Candlewood waterfront every Tuesday morning: what listed, what sold, and where lake prices are moving. Free, unsubscribe anytime.
No — I work direct-waterfront, lake-access / lake-rights, and nearby homes across all five Candlewood towns: New Milford, Brookfield, Sherman, New Fairfield, and Danbury. If it's lake life, it's my lane.
Absolutely — most lake buyers are from the NYC metro. I run video tours, walk homes on your behalf, and give you honest on-the-ground eyes so you can move confidently from a distance.
With paired-sales analysis plus real frontage, water-depth, and dock/permit data — not a portal auto-estimate. Unique homes need a human who knows the water.
No. This is about working directly with a specialist. If you want full search access, I'll set you up properly — this page is the start of a conversation, not a portal.
Never. You get one discreet professional — me — who responds personally. No call center, no drip-spam, no pressure.
Direct waterfront, a lake-community home, or a place near the water — a focused search, on-the-water insight, and an offer strategy that wins.
Know exactly what you're after? The full buyer form takes about 5 minutes and gets your search dialed in on day one.
Tell me your address and I'll send a real comp-based estimate within 24 hours. No pressure to list, ever.
Want the detailed version? Give me your property specifics and I'll build a full comp-based analysis instead of a ballpark.
