From its vantage point of 40 feet above mean high water, this estate enjoys dazzling views of Long Island Sound. The property encompasses a stately main house with spectacular walled gardens, a swimming pool, a grass tennis court, apple orchard, and two private beaches. Acres of rolling lawn surround the auxiliary buildings including a carriage house, gatehouse, pool house, and two greenhouses.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Copper Beech Farm is the crown jewel of the <span class=\"xn-location\">Greenwich<\/span> coastline,&quot; said McElwreath. &quot;It&#8217;s an awe-inspiring compound complete with every conceivable luxury for a sophisticated live, work, and play retreat.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Originally built in 1898 and meticulously restored, the 13,519 square foot, 8-bedroom, 8-bathroom main residence evokes the grandeur of New England&#8217;s most pedigreed seaside estates, built for glorious summering by the water. Approached by a winding 1,800-foot driveway lined with an all&eacute;e of trees and cobblestone gutters, the house is defined by two French Renaissance-style stone towers, bringing aristocratic refinement to the Victorian-influenced house. The interiors are highlighted by original museum-quality appointments such as oak paneling, plaster friezes, handsome fireplaces, and 12-foot ceilings in the main rooms. Showcasing water views from almost all of the rooms, the house is designed to make the most of its spectacular setting.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The opportunity to purchase a residence of this high caliber is a true rarity,&quot; said Barbieri. &quot;It was our honor to be charged with representing such an unparalleled, historic estate in one of the most coveted markets.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><b>Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty was founded in 1976 as a real estate service for discerning clients of Sotheby&#8217;s auction house.
