The nation’s most expensive listing – $190 million estate

The most expensive residential property currently on the U.S. market debuted this month in Greenwich (CT).  The $190 million property not only occupies 50 acres on Long Island Sound, it includes two offshore islands.  On the market for the first time since 1904, this classic 12-bedroom estate – Copper Beech Farm – features a long list of amenities.  The property is zoned two-acre residential and the mainland is subdivided into two tax lots of 20 and 30.6 acres, both of which are suitable for further subdivision.  The listing broker is David Ogilvy & Associates, Christies International Real Estate.

Should the property sell for list price, it will exceed the standing record for most expensive U.S. residence sold by almost 62%.  The previous record was set in 2012, with the sale of private-equity chief Tully Friedman's nearly 9,000-square-foot home in Woodside (CA) to SV Projects LLC for $117.5 million.
