NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Quaker Lane Farm, an iconic and unparalleled equestrian compound nestled in the heart of Greenwich, Connecticut—just an hour north of New York City—is heading to auction via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions. Offered in partnership with Danielle Claroni, Christian Perry, and Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s International Realty - Greenwich Brokerage, this sprawling 16-plus-acre estate, complete with pastures, paddocks, orchards, vegetable gardens, and top-tier equestrian facilities, will be offered in three parcels: the guest home and stables, listed for US$15 million, with starting bids expected between US$4 million and US$9 million; the main residence, listed for US$20 million, with starting bids expected between US$6 million and US$12 million; or the entire estate, collectively listed for US$35 million, with starting bids expected between US$10 million and US$20 million.

Bidding is scheduled to open on September 19 via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ online marketplace and close September 25 (HKT time) during the firm’s inaugural live auction at Sotheby’s highly-anticipated new Asia flagship, Sotheby’s Maison, in Hong Kong. Showcased for the first time ever as part of its signature season, the event is part of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ 2024 Sales Series spanning Los Angeles, New York, and Hong Kong.

“Whether parceled out or purchased as a whole, this auction opportunity offers an unparalleled chance to own a world-class asset in one of the most sought-after zip codes in the country,” said Chad Roffers, co-founder and CEO of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions. “By leveraging our global network and showcasing this opportunity on an international stage, we assure the most sophisticated buyers come forward for a competitive auction to achieve true market value.”

A scenic drive through custom 20-foot wrought iron gates welcomes guests to the extraordinary home, where three distinct residential structures provide a total of 11 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. The main residence, a stunning five-bedroom, seven-bath shingle-style home, was meticulously renovated in 2023 to the highest standards. Designed by the award-winning architect Rich Granoff and crafted by Drake Builders LLC, the home is a masterpiece of design, offering both luxury and comfort. In addition, the estate is located within 10 minutes of the Westchester County Airport.

The heart of the home is an exquisite French Country kitchen, featuring a wall of custom-designed copper La Cornue stoves, cathedral ceilings, and a spectacular wood-inlay floor crafted by renowned artisan John Yarema. A formal dining room, an elegant living room with a fireplace, and a grand entertainment room featuring a custom bar and game area provide the perfect settings for both intimate family gatherings and large-scale events. The kitchen's large folding glass wall creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living, making it ideal for grand-scale entertaining.

The main residence also boasts an infinity-edge pool, complemented by a one-bedroom guest cottage that doubles as a pool house. This luxurious space, with its own kitchen and bathroom, is perfect for hosting guests or simply relaxing in the tranquil surroundings. A secondary guest house, a sprawling nearly 6,600-square-foot structure that is sizable enough to function as a single family residence, offers five additional bedrooms and six bathrooms, along with another exquisitely designed kitchen, family room, and lower level entertainment area. The guest house’s expansive stone veranda, complete with an outdoor fireplace, overlooks the property’s orchards, and gardens, providing an idyllic setting for outdoor gatherings.

“This property truly offers the best of both worlds. You have a gorgeous estate with pristine design, unlimited space, entertaining options, equestrian facilities and more while at the same time, are in close proximity to the city and can be in Grand Central Terminal in under an hour,” Claroni added.

“Quaker Lane Farm is truly a one-of-a-kind estate, offering a harmonious blend of luxury and functionality," said Perry. "From the meticulously renovated main residence, to the stunning French Country kitchen with custom copper La Cornue stoves, every detail has been crafted to perfection. The seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces, highlighted by the infinity-edge pool and guest cottage, makes this home ideal for both grand-scale entertaining and tranquil relaxation."

Quaker Lane Farm is not only a residential haven but also a premier equestrian facility. The estate features a 12-horse, Mediterranean-style stable. The property’s laser-leveled dressage arena, equipped with FootingFirst's signature dust-free blend and TravelRight footing, offers a professional-grade environment for equestrian training and events. Multiple paddocks with run-in sheds and a scenic viewing area further enhance the estate’s equestrian offerings, making it an unparalleled destination for horse enthusiasts.

The property’s grounds are equally impressive featuring pristine pastures, vegetable gardens, and a thriving orchard with apple, pear, peach, and cherry trees. The vineyards, producing Merlot and Cabernet wine grapes, add an additional layer of luxury, while the aviary and peacock enclosure offer a unique and charming touch.

“This estate is a dream for both luxury homeowners and equestrian enthusiasts," remarked McElwreath. "The Mediterranean-style stable and professional-grade dressage arena provide a top-tier environment for horse lovers, while the secondary guest house offers additional space and comfort for family and friends. With pristine orchards, vineyards, and even a peacock enclosure, Quaker Lane Farm is more than just a home—it's a complete lifestyle experience."
