Description:

Surrounded by stone walls, this storied, spectacular and private 38.91-acre Greenfield Hill country compound has had a stunning top-level transformation, creating a one of a kind Fairfield County estate. The former home of Richard Rodgers, composer of The Sound of Music, the mid-century main residence was restored and expanded to incorporate 7 bedrooms and 7 full baths, all with views over the open, landscaped property. Lofty ceilings and walls of glass create magical interior spaces, a perfect setting for an art collector. Private wings radiating off the house center accommodate guests comfortably. A hidden theater and a stunning Moroccan lounge with bar are some of the special features of this extraordinary property. The barn-style pool house with full kitchen, bath and spacious gym, the pool, and a heated paddle tennis court are all easily accessible from the main residence. The updated stone gatehouse accommodates guests or staff. A two story office pavilion is tucked in a private garden area. The landscape offers open vistas, meadows and an orchard. There is potential for equestrian use. Live in ultimate style and easy elegance at this private retreat just a quick commute to NYC and airports. Fairfield and Westport town centers are in close vicinity. Enclosed behind a stone wall and surrounded by a 155 acre nature preserve, this is a uniquely private haven.
