Как вы помните, великолепный особняк дженни Версачи в свое время был продан с аукциона по действительно низкой цене, даже не дотянувшей до пятидесяти миллионов долларов. Интересно, что приблизительно в то же время еще один роскошный дом, наоборот, сумел увеличить свою стоимость как раз на пятьдесят миллионов долларов.
Изменения цены является обычным делом на рынке недвижимости, но далеко не каждый день можно увидеть резкий рост цены сразу на 50 миллионов, как это произошло с поместьем Copper Beech Farm.
The prized Greenwich property made a fantastic debut earlier this year when it hit the market for a whopping $190 million. Approximately 123 days later, the home, owned by timber mogul John Rudey, still holds claim to the title of most expensive listing, despite the fact that it has seen a price reduction of 26 percent.
While its asking price has been curbed to some degree, the most expensive listing in America is still as wild and ostentatious as one would expect. Sited on a sought-after 50-acre parcel, the trophy home boasts a staggering 4,000 feet of private water frontage and a pair of offshore islands.
A 1,800-foot cobblestone driveway leads up to the mansion itself, a 15,000-square-foot “Victorian, French-renaissance” affair built in 1896. Inside, the home fails to disappoint in luxury details and boasts intimate touches ranging from beautiful carved fireplaces to soaring ceilings and stately wood panels. The living room in particular stands out with its intricate ceiling artwork, a solarium and numerous handcrafted built-ins and finishes, and the dining room has its own lavish fireplace that complement its towering columns, rich oak paneling and tracery ceiling.
Explore the exterior of the property and you will find an exceptional 75-foot heated pool that sits adjacent to an octagonal pool house and dressing room, an enormous spa and large terraces. The idyllic setting is furthered with hills of grass rolling into formal gardens, a pair of greenhouses, an apple orchard and a viewing pergola. Also found on the premises is a tennis court, a stone carriage house with a clock tower, and a shingled cottage with its own viewing porch.
In addition to the recent adjustment, the mansion and the 30-acre parcel it sits on are now offered in a separate listing for $85 million. The remaining 20-acre parcel can be had for $55 million.
Copper Beech Farm wasn’t the only high-profile listing to see a price reduction this week. Casa Casuarina, better known as the Versace mansion, finally has a new owner after selling at a bankruptcy auction. After debuting on the market for $125 million last year, Miami Beach‘s most lavish piece of real estate ended up selling at auction for just $41.5 million.
