Sterling

Sterling, Connecticut is a refined rural haven where authenticity, history, and intentional living converge. Nestled in the state’s Quiet Corner, this Windham County gem of just 3,578 residents is anchored by the historic villages of Oneco and Sterling. Here, preserved architecture like the Colonial-era Dorrance Inn and the Sterling Hill Historic District tell a story of early American legacy, while the town’s only public school, tucked amid rolling farmland, reinforces a deep-rooted sense of community. Scenic drives lined with stone walls, the tranquil Moosup Valley State Park Trail, and a governance model grounded in town meetings all contribute to a lifestyle that values heritage and connection. Sterling’s pastoral charm and civic pride offer a quietly elevated experience for buyers seeking a story-rich New England escape—where history is not just preserved but lived, and where simplicity feels purposeful and polished.
