Biography & Early Wealth Journey
"Copper Beech Farm is the largest waterfront parcel in Greenwich. Situated on a private peninsula, the estate spans over 50 acres with an unprecedented expanse of shorefront. From a vantage point of 40 ft above mean high water, the meticulously restored and tastefully expanded 8-bedroom main house enjoys scintillating views of Long Island Sound. The property includes spectacular walled gardens, a swimming pool with spa, a pool house, a grass tennis court and 2 private beaches. Acres of rolling lawn surround the auxiliary buildings including a 1-bedroom carriage house, 3-bedroom gatehouse and 2 greenhouses."
The listing also touts the property's position as the "crown jewel of the Greenwich coastline," a claim that is certainly backed up by its most recent sale.
The buyer isn't known as of yet, and the seller's identity is also cloaked in a web of various business entities reportedly associated with billionaire Ray Dalio, who declined to comment on the matter.
