Connecticut Luxury Redefined: A $16 Million One-of-a-Kind Stone and Glass Architectural Gem

Date of Publishing:

A Visionary Estate Hidden in Back‑Country Greenwich

Tucked away on more than 6.7 gated acres of wooded privacy sits an architectural marvel: 71 N Porchuck Rd. Offered at $16,000,000, the home commands attention not just for its scale — 16,417 square feet of living space — but for its dramatic marriage of stone, glass and open-air design. Built in 2009, the residence was conceived as an artistic sanctuary rather than a conventional family home, making it one of the most singular properties currently available in the heart of Greenwich.

Through towering glass walls and soaring ceilings, this estate bathes in natural light, with three fully finished levels offering sweeping, flexible space. Once functioning as the headquarters of a respected art foundation, the interior layout remains raw and expansive: a generous one‑bedroom suite with private terrace, multiple bathrooms, a catering kitchen tailored for grand-scale entertaining — and an interior footprint designed more like a gallery than a traditional mansion.

From Gallery to Grand Home: A Canvas Awaiting Transformation

For the right buyer, 71 N Porchuck Rd represents an extraordinary blank slate. “This spectacular building was designed by an architectural firm to be used as an art gallery, with living quarters for visiting artists,” explains listing agent B.K. Bates of Houlihan Lawrence. “It was created to display hundreds of pieces of art as an extension of an existing collection — one of the most significant in the region.”

The three‑level volume and open plan invite endless reinterpretation: imagine converting gallery halls into soaring living rooms, private salons, a home theater, or even a curated art collection — or transforming the entire home into a bespoke modernist estate. As Bates adds, “It is a rare opportunity to own a one‑of‑a‑kind residence where art, architecture and landscape converge — a dream canvas for a discerning buyer.”

Despite its unconventional layout, the estate is outfitted for full residential living: central air conditioning, a three-stop elevator, generator power, private well water and septic system, automatic gated entry and two-car garage. The seclusion is absolute, yet the property remains within reach of city conveniences.

A Rare Opportunity

What sets 71 N Porchuck Rd apart is its uniqueness. It is not a traditional manor, nor a cookie‑cutter luxury home; it is a statement — a bold intersection of art, architecture and lifestyle. For someone with a vision, the estate could become a private modernist showpiece, an entertainment compound, or a sanctuary for art and reflection.

That said, the current configuration — essentially a one-bedroom suite with open gallery space — may not suit every buyer. Substantial renovation or re‑imagining might be required to turn this into a conventional family residence. Moreover, ownership of such a large, architectural property inevitably involves maintenance, upkeep and thoughtful planning.

For those willing to invest not only financially but creatively, 71 N Porchuck Rd offers a rare chance to shape a legacy: a home that refuses to conform to norms, and instead stands as a unique statement of taste, space and vision in one of America’s most coveted enclaves.
