Sherman, CTInc. 1802
Sherman is a small, rural town on the New York border, with Candlewood Lake forming much of its eastern boundary. The town is one of the least populated in the region, with large lots, wooded parcels, and the lake frontage providing the primary property amenity.
For property professionals, Sherman is a small, upper-value market where lakefront access drives premiums and the rural infrastructure means private wells, septic, and dispersed fire coverage.
