in 1982, Peter Brant bought all 1400 acres of Conyers Farm for $18 million dollars. This 80 acre estate and the refurbished outbuildings ended up selling for $40 million. Amazing.

Imagine the property tax on that place every year. For that reason I'm out

All this for 65 million yet there's an apartment in New York for 80 million.

@jerryware1970 2 жыл бұрын

I think it ultimately sold for under $30 million. Someone got the bargain of the decade.

It is probably on the North side of Greenwich. I was always amazed with how the Merritt almost makes a semi-circle as you travel from the NE to the SW. My mom told me long ago, that the landowners wanted the hwy to not encroach on their land, or as little as possible, probably along the lines of the latter. Mom knows best right, even if she is wrong.

I would be surprised if there isn't a helipad & most likely owner would be working in NYC Manhattan or self employed. Birds of a feather flock together you do Greenwich to rub shoulders, Hamptons in the summer, & wherever you please in the winter. This home is particularly suited to the horse set of polo that is a niche market to get such a property in that locale. It will move for sure. Other horse country in CT is not so close to the action of NYC. CT may have issues, but it still retains the country New England appeal for money of NYC dwellers who don't ski & want to haul themselves up to NH, VT, or Maine.

they allowed low income and democratic slow motion tactics to drown out hartford's economy from blossoming the entire state, as well as not gentrifying and getting contracts to build out more city towns outside of the River Vally. Indeed Connecticut has now a lack of significant culture and old money to anywhere near where it could have been, probably less than 3% at its highest in modern times, from where it could have been closer to 8-9% generationally financially significant neighborhoods. with another 7-9% of all statewide neighborhoods, being permanent high middle class.. for instance... north end (FORMER jewish led) Hartford, Manchester with all it's textile wealth and proximity to the city, and practically every single coastal City in the state therefore. NO coast line city should have lower than 100,000K$ household, combined income Neighborhoods EVER. it destroys the scenery and the dynamic of the luxury of proper coastline property. Connecticut, Rhode Island mostly, and Massachusetts besides Boston, and 4-5 greater Boston areas, were CLEANED OUT by democratic low income policy and catering to lower income life which suffocated the rich from staying in many many areas, and therefore giving way to what would have been developments and gentrification, starting what would have been once again from the 1970's & on based on the markets and socio-historical trends and movements.
