Denbigh Farm, Tommy Hilfiger’s Connecticut Home
The original Denbigh Farm was once known as Quaker Ridge, and the property dates back to 1775 and has received the Landmark Recognition status from the Greenwich Historical Society.
In 1904 the property was purchased by a successful grain broker, William T. Carrington, who immediately sought out to transform the property into the elegant home that stands today. After his first botched attempt to upgrade the farm, he enlisted architects Albro & Lindeberg, whose work has iconized the American Country Home. Upon Carrington’s death in 1935, the property belonged to two generations of the Verner Reed family until 1995, when it was purchased by Tommy Hilfigier and his then-wife, who still owns the property.
The 17-acre Riversville Road estate is positioned with impressive views over Long Island Sound. With upgrades by famous Classicist architect Alan Greenberg, the home’s many historic features, such as the beautiful antique floors, have been preserved and enhanced. The property includes equestrian facilities with A+ stalls, a cottage, apple orchards, an English sculpture gardens, and even fancy chicken coops.
There is also a Mt. Vernon playhouse, a gym/sports house, luxurious accommodations above the garage, and a pool.
