If you’re looking to fall for Darien, CT, drive to Ring’s End Landing. It begins by turning off of Boston Post Road at Saint Luke’s parish. You take a sloping shot past stately homes until you reach the stone bridge, which is flanked by arguably the most picturesque sound waters on the Gold Coast. Travelers can turn right, left, but to continue straight and you’d have to go through imposing gothic gates with a no trespassing sign made on Old World tile. It looks like the kind of entrance you’d expect to see at a school for wizards. But soon you won’t need magic or an illegal action to continue forward. On May 5th, this private residence, known as Great Island, will be owned by the town.
