Considering a Home in River Oaks?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands River Oaks and the surrounding Gold Coast, Litchfield Hills & Shoreline golf market.
River Oaks is a small, gated enclave of 66 home sites in Sherman, in the far northwest corner of Fairfield County near the New York border. Developed alongside the Club at River Oaks golf course starting in 2003, it is one of the few places in this market where housing and a private golf course were genuinely built together rather than a club simply anchoring a pre-existing wealthy neighborhood.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Living in River Oaks does not include Club at River Oaks golf membership, and the club accepts members who do not live in the community. Treat any golf-club fee figures as a separate line item from the home purchase and HOA dues.
Living in River Oaks
Homes sit on or near the course, with several lots carrying recorded fairway conservation easements required to fit the 18-hole layout within Sherman's 2-acre zoning. The single confirmed recent sale in this research -- a 4-bed, 5-bath, 6,406 sq ft home -- closed at $1,150,000 in April 2025.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Residents have access to the club's tennis courts, heated pool, and fitness center as part of golf-club membership (not automatically as homeowners), plus the clubhouse's dining and event facilities if they join.
Location & Surrounding Area
Sherman sits at the northern tip of Candlewood Lake, about 10 minutes from the Wingdale, NY Metro-North station -- a rural, weekend-home-oriented part of Fairfield County quite different in character from the county's better-known Gold Coast towns further south.
