What This House Offers
Call for Availability - Surrounded by stone walls, this one-of-a-kind, spectacular and private 36-acre Greenfield Hill country compound has had a stunning top-level transformation, creating a breathtaking Fairfield County estate like no other. The... storied 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, exquisitely landscaped property. Lofty ceilings and walls of glass create magical interior spaces. Libraries, play spaces, private wings, a hidden theater, and a stunning Moroccan lounge with bar are some of the special features of this extraordinary property. The full array of amenities includes a striking and sunny pool and chic barn-style pool house with full kitchen, bath and spacious gym. A beautifully updated separate stone farmhouse easily accommodates guests or staff. The charming separate office pavilion is tucked in a private garden area. In autumn pick apples at your own orchard and enjoy the lighted, heated paddle tennis court. Live in ultimate style and elegance at this private retreat just a quick commute to NYC, and with all that Fairfield and Westport have to offer in close proximity. MLS# 24104315
