About This Home

As of June 2021

One of a kind privately-set estate with breathtaking panoramic views, clear to the Long Island Sound and the Manhattan skyline. Located in picturesque lower Easton, this cool, classic retreat of architectural significance, is perched on its magnificent hilltop, and surrounded by pastoral New England scenery. The gracious terraces and the large scale gathering spaces enjoy magnificent sunsets. The gourmet kitchen has glass walls overlooking the dramatic scenery. A tranquil garden with fountain leads to the gorgeous pool area. Attached but separate professional recording studio has hosted many celebrated musical artists of our generation, and the rolling lawns beside it have served as the backdrop for a multitude of notable concert performances as well as music and art festivals. The separate Cottage, 1909 SF/3-bedroom/3-Bath guest house, lighted tennis court, and 8-car collectors garage complete the picture.
