Inside Greenwich’s Stonehaven

February 4, 2025

Stonehaven is nestled amid 18.43 acres of greenery and woodland in the coveted, celebrated Conyers Farm community.

Dating to the early years of the 20th century, Greenwich’s 1,480-acre Conyers Farm is an essential element of what is now known as one of the most exclusive, esteemed communities in the U.S. After some 20 farms were consolidated in 1904, it became a flourishing farm with a thriving apple orchard, a lake, multiple greenhouses, and land and barns where cows, pigs and poultry were raised and eggs, butter, and milk were produced. In the 1980s, the property was divided, and individual estate sites were sold to eager buyers, launching what became a widely revered East Coast community.

Anchoring roughly 18 acres in the midst of this historic greenery is Stonehaven, an august Tudor-inspired residence that combines Old World styling befitting such a storied locale, modern luxuries, and idyllic views of a picturesque woodland setting. Lined with trees, a long gated drive leads to the home, where limestone floors, stately archways, white oak woodwork, and five woodburning fireplaces establish an ambience that is at once elegant and inviting.

Highlights on the main level include a light-filled living room with a fireplace, striking ceiling tracery, and a screened-in porch overlooking the pool; a library or office with built-in bookshelves, a wet bar, and a limestone fireplace; a paneled formal dining room; and a welcoming family room with a marble fireplace. The captivating cook’s kitchen features a honed Paonazzo-stone island with counter seating, a La Cornue range, a breakfast nook, and a spacious butler’s pantry with generous wine storage, a coffee bar, and eye-catching verre églomisé accents. The family room, kitchen, dining room, and living room open to an impressive deck that runs along the back of the home.
