Largest Greenwich Estate Hits the Market for $65 Million

GREENWICH, CT – Conyers Farm Estate, located in the prime residential enclave of Conyers Farm in Greenwich, Connecticut, hit the market today for $65 million. The 80-acre property is being sold by David Ogilvy & Associates, with international marketing support from Christie’s International Real Estate.

Established in 1904 by Edmund Converse as a city escape and converted into an exclusive gated community in the 1980s, the property was once a working farm, with stables, paddocks, an apple orchard and a cherry hedge.

“This extraordinary estate truly captures the essence of an equestrian lifestyle with its open land, private roads, riding paths and polo fields, while offering privacy within a gated community setting and residential enclave of luxury homes,” said Kathleen Coumou, Senior Vice President of Christie’s International Real Estate.

Conyers Farm epitomizes privacy and exclusivity. Residents can take advantage of riding trails, hiking through meadows, and fabulous polo grounds for exciting seasonal world class polo matches – all an hour away from New York City.

“This is a truly special property,” says David Ogilvy of David Ogilvy & Associates, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. “You don’t see anything else like it around here. Conyers Farm is a unique opportunity for prospective buyers desiring a country estate within close proximity to New York City.”

Conyers Farm is a 1,468-acre community in Greenwich, Connecticut, with just 60 homes set amid conservation land. This property also has a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a cottage that once housed the estate’s firemen.

The front door with leaded-glass sidelights opens to the double-height center hall and sets the tone for the interior of the main house, which encompasses two master suites among its eight bedrooms, a formal living room, a two-story library with a full-height bay window, a large solarium with a glass ceiling, adjoining the superb kitchen.

French doors flood the home with light, while terraces enhance its connection with the great, green outdoors. Just steps from the home, one of the compound’s cottages has recently been remodeled; incorporating mahogany paneling and state-of-the-art communication systems, the two-story space will allow for a home office or another relaxing retreat.
