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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
