$4,975,000

CHIEFTANS, the name chosen for this magnificent setting evokes the memory and spirit of one of the legendary estates that made Greenwich the center of style and elegance in the Nineteenth Century, as well as today. The name Chieftans reflects the beauty of open meadows, gently rolling lawns and hundreds of specimen trees that have flourished there over time. In its earlier incarnation, the mansion and several outbuildings were a statement of social grandeur. The focal point of the Gimbel family's activities-- lavish galas, philanthropic pursuits and equestrian events. Now privately owned, the mansion continues to define the setting as the guiding influence in the creation of Chieftans' present and future homes. Chieftans' concept and vision began with a Greenwich master builder who has carefully preserved and maintained the historic integrity of the original estate. Mixed among the new residences are the historic dwellings, the totally renovated mansion, cow barn, coach house, groom's quarters and stables. A home at Chieftans may look back to the past centuries for influences in craftsmanship, detailing and traditional space planning. Yet, it provides every feature imaginable for today's successful living. Slate roofs, native stone, rich cherry wood paneling, coffered ceilings, granite, limestone and honed marble fill each house with the splendor of yesteryear. Gourmet kitchens, sitting areas, balconies, en suite bathrooms and sumptuous baths luxuriate family and guests. Sweeping views of the beautiful grounds are captured from many tall windows, French doors and terraces. All this in a gated community with monthly Association dues including round-the-clock security personnel, professional groundskeepers and property maintenance, such as snow removal and refuse collection. CHIEFTANS...a place like no other...where history lives on. For more information please contact Tamar Lurie at (203) 622-0245
