While looking for a newly built home close to New York City to serve as a weekend getaway over two decades ago, Andrew and Susan Robertson’s real estate agent suggested they check out a sprawling farmhouse in the coastal Connecticut town of Greenwich.
The couple—he most known as a high-powered BBDO Worldwide advertising executive who’s spearheaded campaigns like the “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry” Snickers commercials—told The New York Times they “wandered around it, and smelled it, and felt it,” and, though it wasn’t exactly what they were looking for, they decided it was where they wanted to be.
The dark-hued library has a white lacquered ceiling that captures the flickering light of the fireplace.

They went on to acquire the place in 2001 for nearly $5.8 million and then embarked upon an extensive renovation and remodeling project in collaboration with interior designer and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy TV personality Thom Filicia. Now, 24 years later, the immaculately maintained property has come to market for a dash under $13.8 million, with the listing shared by Amanda Bates Goodro of Houlihan Lawrence and Louisa Wake of Hedgerow Exclusive Properties, one of the Robertsons’ two daughters.
Realizing there was potential to better utilize the space, they updated the residence with a new two-car garage, a limestone-clad mudroom/butler’s pantry, and a 2,000-bottle wine room. They also connected a restored water tower to the house, hired Amish workers to build a barn that can be used as a second garage, and stored an emergency generator in an icehouse once used to preserve perishable foods.
The climatized wine room can hold up to 2,000 bottles of your favorite vintages.

Sited on a nearly six-acre parcel of heavily wooded land in the Stanwich Historic District, about an hour northeast of Manhattan, the reimagined property is anchored by a white wood-sided and shingle-roof Colonial home with six bedrooms and eight baths in roughly 9,200 square feet across three levels that still retain the original wide-plank fir floors and wood-burning fireplaces. One of a few surviving mid-19th-century farmhouses in the region, it’s listed on the Greenwich Landmarks Registry as the Elkanah Mead House.
Two separate entrances flow to elegant living and dining rooms, a media room, and a handsome library that comes with a handy dry bar converted from a closet and a lacquered ceiling that captures the flickering light of the fireplace. Other highlights include a Smallbone kitchen outfitted with oak cabinetry, marble countertops, an eat-in island, an AGA range, a wine cooler, a breakfast nook, and French doors leading outside. A spacious fireside primary suite sports a walk-in closet/dressing room and a soaking tub-equipped bath.
The picturesque grounds contain a 20-by-40-foot swimming pool shrouded in lush greenery.

One of the most special parts of the property is the James Doyle-landscaped grounds, which are laced with flower gardens and host several terraces, a 20-by-40-foot pool, an outdoor kitchen, a sitting area with an antique water trough fountain, a vegetable garden, a seasonal chicken coop, and a pond. Then there’s the rebuilt water tower, which flaunts a gym, a full bath, and a double-height office.
Per the NYT, the Robertsons have decided to move because it’s “a lot of house now” for the two of them. The former president and CEO and current chairman of BBDO, who has been named one of Adweek‘s “100 Most Influential Leaders in Marketing, Media and Tech” alongside Mark Zuckerburg, and Jeff Bezos, still owns a beachfront home in Sag Harbor, N.Y., that serves as the couple’s primary residence, as well as houses in Manhattan and the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Following her split and ultimate divorce from Grammy-winning composer David Foster after nine years of coupledom and four years of marriage, as well as a debilitating battle with chronic neurological Lyme disease, Yolanda Hadid packed up and left Southern California in 2017 for a rural retreat on the East Coast.
“I needed to get away from the noise of city life,” the Dutch-American model said in a press statement. “I longed for a sanctuary where I could heal and reconnect with Mother Earth just the way I grew up in Holland. When I found the farm, I instantly fell in love…there were no gates at that time so I parked on the main road and walked down the long driveway, the energy was unbelievable. I instantly knew I was home even before I saw the buildings.”
Hadid is known for hosting lavish alfresco dinner parties at a long wood table with white linen chairs.

The former model and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star went on to dole out almost $4 million for a 32-acre spread outside the charming, well-to-do Pennsylvania town of New Hope, where she could harvest some 3,000 lavender plants for essential oils, host elaborate alfresco dinner parties, tend to her beloved animals, and meditate in her crystal-laced labyrinth. She also wanted to provide a safe family haven for her children, supermodels Gigi and Bella and musician Anwar Hadid.
Eight years later, the residence has returned to the market at a speck under $10.9 million. The listing, which comes with all its furnishings and operating equipment, is being offered by Carl Gambino of the Gambino Group at Compass and Revi Haviv of Addison Wolfe Real Estate.
The kitchen was a popular place for the family to test recipes during the COVID pandemic.

Situated in the heart of Bucks County, about 30 miles north of Philadelphia and 70 miles southwest of Manhattan, the gated property features a fieldstone-clad main home dating to the early 1800s, plus a carriage house and two cottages. It’s also right down the road from a property actor Bradley Cooper purchased in 2023 for $6.5 million to be closer to his girlfriend Gigi.
An 8,000-square-foot stone bank barn that once served as a working agricultural structure now has a vast entertaining space and a gym, while a separate equestrian barn is outfitted with 14 stalls, tack and feed rooms, a barn manager’s office, and an outdoor jumping and dressage arena. A restored stone spring house has been transformed into a wine and lavender oil cellar.

When David Fillet moved into this nearly century-old Los Angeles home in the Outpost Estates enclave of Hollywood Hills back in the 1970s, the doctor hired a historian to do a deep dive into its past, and what he found was intriguing.
Not only was the place once owned by Oscar-winning songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen, who was frequently visited by his close friends Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, but the original Dracula actor Bela Lugosi had also rented the residence in the early 1930s while his house nearby was being built. Along with a slew of other prominent folks, actress Yvette Mimieux was even rumored to have occupied the Maravilla Road property in the late 1960s.

Fillet picked up the estate in 1972 for a mere $138,000. Now, for the first time in over 50 years, the Spanish Colonial Revival-style property has popped up on the market again for $7.5 million, with Tom Davila, John Zaffarano, and Kennon Earl of Rare Properties of Compass sharing the listing.
Originally designed and built for retired physician and surgeon Frederick Dunsmoor in the late 1920s by lesser-known architect Adolph Semrow, Villa Dorada rests beyond gates at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac parcel spanning a third of an acre, high above Brad Pitt’s newly purchased home. Half a dozen bedrooms and seven baths are spread across 7,400 square feet of decidedly dated yet well-preserved living space on three stories accessible via a wood-paneled elevator. Period details include magnesite floors, an intimate “telephone room,” and the original intercom system.
The primary bedroom has a sitting area and access to two private balconies.

Among the highlights is the circular entry foyer, which boasts a spiral staircase and a massive wrought-iron chandelier dangling from a vaulted hand-painted ceiling. From there, a sunken reception parlor comes with a built-in bar and a powder room, and a spacious wood-beamed living room has a decorative tiled fireplace and a glass and wood-trimmed door spilling out to a covered terrace. An adjacent coffer-ceilinged dining room connects to the eat-in kitchen.
Directly below the main level is an exercise room and a primary suite flaunting a fireplace, a sitting area, dual balconies, a walk-in closet, and a fanciful stone-clad bath with dual vanities and a large glass-encased shower. The bottom-most level, meanwhile, hosts staff quarters with two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, along with a fireside recreation room that leads out to a terraced backyard overlooking sweeping city lights and ocean views. There’s also an attached three-car garage out front.

The late Nesuhi Ertegun, who passed away in 1989 at age 71, didn’t just leave his mark on music history, he also left behind a pretty spectacular retreat in New York‘s tony Westchester County. The legendary jazz connoisseur and co-founder of Atlantic Records’ onetime home in Katonah, has just hit the market for $3.5 million, listed with Sally Slater of Douglas Elliman.
Set on nearly four acres with sweeping views of the Cross River Reservoir, the 3,740-square-foot International Style residence was completed in 1980 and thoughtfully designed to integrate seamlessly with its natural setting. Airy, light-filled rooms connect to slender balconies and broad terraces, while the expansive gallery-style walls were considered specifically to showcase artwork. Ertegun, an avid collector of Surrealist works, famously had pieces from his vast trove exhibited alongside Daniel Filipacchi’s at the “Surrealism: Two Private Eyes” show at the Guggenheim Museum back in 1999.

Semicircular extrusions add movement and interest to the three-story home’s three-story rectilinear massing. Skylights fill the house with light, and walls of glass maximize views and lead to a series of terraced gardens that make the reservoir feel like a continuation of the living space.
The living room is anchored by a fireplace; the library’s floor-to-ceiling bookshelves speak to Ertegun’s love of arts and culture; an all-white kitchen has a span of butcher block counters as its only color; and the top-floor primary bedroom floats high above the landscape. Alongside the house, terraced gardens comprise flat expanses of lawn, raised flower beds, a swimming pool with a glass cabana, and a bocce court, giving the home a mix of serenity and playfulness.

Ertegun, who passed away in 1989 at age 71 after helping to launch the careers of legends like John Coltrane, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Led Zeppelin, was a lifelong champion of jazz music who co-founded one of the most important record labels in the history of American music. He also had a hand in creating WEA International, a division of the Warner Music Group that grew into a billion-dollar global music powerhouse.
Just 50 miles north of Manhattan, Katonah is known for its charming downtown, complete with galleries, cafés, and the Katonah Museum of Art. And with access to Metro-North, this house works just as well as a full-time residence as it does as a weekend getaway. Other big names who have called Katonah home include Martha Stewart, Ralph Lauren, and married actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

In the game of New York City real estate, Michiel Huisman scored himself a real winner.
The Game of Thrones actor is parting ways with his Flatiron co-op for $3.3 million, and along with its ties to one of the most popular TV programs of all time, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit was once the site of the legendary 1970s after-hours club Cobra’s Lair that, being just a block away from Andy Warhol’s Factory, attracted an arty downtown crowd. Elise Ehrlich and Chris Pomeroy at Brown Harris Stevens hold the listing.
The high-contrast marble counter and backsplash make a bold statement in the kitchen.

Along with portraying Daario Naharis on Game of Thrones, Housman is also well known for his work in Dutch TV shows and films. Records show that he snapped up the Flatiron spread in 2016 for $2.2 million, and he later undertook a renovation with the architect Elizabeth Roberts to turn the loft into a much more contemporary and light-filled space. Rather than an over-fussed set piece, Huisman’s loft leans toward the relaxed feeling of a casual home, blending modern design elements with original details like the seven oak-framed windows that look out on the nearby Union Square Park.
A huge door at the far end of the living room pivots open to the primary bedroom. The accompanying bathroom is decked out with a Zucchetti soaking tub and funky black-and-white-tiled walls. A walk-in closet completes the suite. Just inside the front door, a mezzanine space has been turned into a guest bedroom, although it could also serve as an office or creative retreat. Underneath is a ton of storage space along with some of the mechanical systems. The serene guest bath, meanwhile, sports a walk-in shower and a light-pink onyx marble wall and sink.
The oak-framed sash windows are original to the space.

The open living area, lined with built-in cabinetry, stretches to 37 feet long and is topped by a 12-foot ceiling, making the magnanimous amount of square footage feel even more expansive. The Calacatta Viola marble counters and backsplash make an eye-catching statement in the otherwise minimalist kitchen, which is outfitted with a PITT Cooking stove and a Blue Star oven.
Situated in the neo-Gothic McIntyre Building, the co-op is a relative steal in the Flatiron neighborhood, home to several massive penthouses that command hefty price tags. Last year, for example, a seven-bedroom triplex hit the market for $30 million, and a few months later, a nearby penthouse listed for $25 million, with all the proceeds going toward philanthropic efforts in Africa.

NASCAR fans have the green light to buy a sprawling North Carolina estate from one of the league’s greatest drivers.
Set in Mooresville, a.k.a. Race City U.S.A., the 33.6-acre home on Lake Norman is being sold by none other than Jamie McMurray. You know, the winner of the 2010 Daytona 500 and 2015 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. After a prolific 17-year racing career, the Missouri native retired in 2019 but remains in the spotlight as a NASCAR analyst for FOX Sports and the CW Network.
McMurray, 49, hasn’t shared why he is selling the gated property, but his loss could be your gain. The custom mansion, designed by Charlotte-based architect Harry Schader, includes a saltwater pool, a detached pool house, and a private dock that stretches along the direct lake frontage.

With an asking price of $12 million, the home is tied with one other as Mooresville’s most expensive listing. McMurray bought the original parcel in 2011 for $796,000, according to records on Property Shark. He later purchased additional land to create his supersized estate, adding the main residence in 2015.
“Homes on the Brawley Peninsula usually have an acre or less,” listing agent Josh Tucker of Corcoran HM Properties told Mansion Global. “To my knowledge, there’s nothing that’s ever sold on the Brawley Peninsula with this kind of acreage on the waterfront.”

Sitting just off Brawley School Road, the gorgeous Georgian abode is surrounded by towering trees that impart a sense of privacy. Inside, a sophisticated foyer with Versailles parquet flooring leads to a spacious living room with a soaring coffered ceiling, a fireplace, and a wall of French doors that open to the manicured grounds.
A little further in lies a kitchen with a large island, a gas range, and an adjoining breakfast room for casual dining. Nearby, a formal dining room with prominent crown moldings comfortably seats 10 people for dinner parties.

Five bedrooms and eight bathrooms are spread across the two-story residence. The primary suite spans the upper level, offering a spacious bedroom, a serene en suite with a showstopping marble-covered steam shower, and a walk-in closet. Three guest bedrooms are located upstairs, while one is positioned on the main level. Other interior highlights include a top-floor game room and an office decked out with NASCAR memorabilia.
The backyard provides ample space for entertaining: There is a stone patio with a built-in BBQ grill, a lounge, and a table for alfresco dining, as well as a sunken seating area with a fire pit for cocktail hour. At the center of it all is a huge saltwater swimming pool flanked by sunbeds. Sounds like the perfect place to unwind after a day (or nearly two decades) on the track.
