After nine years on the market, the legendary 52-acre estate of Huguette Clark in New Canaan finally has been sold, Realtor Barbara Cleary said Monday.
The property, which was listed at $15.9 million, was purchased for $14.3 million by DeLom LLC, according to Cleary, who would not reveal who’s behind the purchase.
Real Estalker says that fashion designer and former Coach executive Reed Krakoff and his wife, interior designer Delphine Krakoff, who just sold their Upper East Side mansion for an astounding $51 million, are the proud new owners.
New Canaan realtor Barbara Cleary says she believes the right buyers have been found for the property.
‘They have a keen appreciation for the rarity and unique history of this beautiful estate,’ she told New Canaan News.
Ms. Cleary also said the couple intended to restore and renovate both the house and the property. She also said the buyers are ‘creative’ and they intend to live there.
The 22-room estate has been vacant for more than 60 years. Clark, the daughter of turn-of-the-century copper tycoon and U.S. Sen. William Clark, purchased the property in 1951, but never spent a night in the mansion..
