Known as one of the most significant remaining mansions from the Gilded Age in Connecticut, Copper Beech Farm was constructed in 1896 for the industrialist John Hamilton Gourlie and was later sold to the Lauder Greenway family in 1905. This estate is currently listed for $150 million in Greenwich, Connecticut. Listing highlights: The Last Greenwich Great Estate: Copper Beech Farm is the largest waterfront property in Greenwich. Located on a secluded peninsula, it boasts over 50 acres of land with a mile of coastline and includes a nearby island. Rising 40 feet above mean high water, this estate provides breathtaking views of Long Island Sound. The property features an elegant main house surrounded by beautiful walled gardens, a swimming pool, a grass tennis court, an apple orchard, and two exclusive beaches. Sprawling lawns encircle several auxiliary buildings including a carriage house, gatehouse, pool house, and two greenhouses. Originally constructed in 1898 and thoughtfully restored, the 13,519 square foot main house has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, exuding the opulence typical of New England’s finest seaside estates curated for luxurious summer retreats. The estate can be accessed via a scenic 1,800-foot driveway adorned with trees and cobblestone edges, highlighted by two French Renaissance-style stone towers that add a touch of aristocratic elegance to the Victorian-style home.
The interior boasts original, museum-quality features such as oak paneling, decorative plasterwork, elegant fireplaces, and 12-foot ceilings in the main living areas. Most rooms offer captivating views of the water, making the most of the stunning surroundings. Outside, a 75-foot heated pool and spa are complemented by stone terraces and an octagonal pool house. A charming pergola overlooks the grass tennis court. The historic stone carriage house includes a clock tower, a one-bedroom garage apartment, and plenty of garage space for cars and equipment, retaining the original milking stalls from when it used to house livestock. The three-bedroom gatehouse serves as excellent accommodations for staff or guests. A crown jewel along the Greenwich coastline, Copper Beech Farm represents the height of real estate in Greenwich, presenting a rare chance to own one of the largest residential waterfront properties near New York City.
