Robert Shaw’s Connecticut property doesn’t dominate when it comes to a specific sport. This multi-sport complex includes a bowling alley, a golf simulator, a game room, a gym, a basketball court, and of course, a home theater. The home theater has 20 seats (with room for 33), a Digital Projection projector, a 130-inch screen and a JBL Synthesis II audio system. All of the A/V, lighting and heating are under Crestron control, with in-ceiling and in-wall Bay Audio speakers scattered throughout the 12,000-square-foot post-and-beam-style barn.

Other highlights include an 8-zone audio system, automated lighting and heating, security cameras and separate lighting and audio for a Broadway-style stage inside the gym. Aside from the A/V, there’s also an ice cream bar, bunk beds, and seven bathrooms to satisfy Shaw’s 20 grandchildren. Click here to read more.
