The Copper Beech Farm, formerly the Lauder Greenway Estate, is a 50-acre (20 ha) private property with a French Renaissance mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut.
[4] In the coming years, the stone-and-shingle mansion, built in the French Renaissance fashion, would crown an estate that grew to more than 100 acres (40 ha) at one time.
The current main kitchen is tucked down a hallway, accessible by discreetly hidden doors in the wood-paneled entry foyer and sits at the end of the house.
[5] Fireplaces adorn nearly every entertaining space and many of the bedrooms open onto sleeping porches once used during summer months before the advent of air conditioning.
In the entry space, an antique open-air elevator that one might expect to find in a throwback Parisian hotel chugs slowly between floors at the push of a button.
A cast-iron gate swings open onto sunken gardens meticulously manicured, tropical plants like palm trees grace the terraced lawns abut a full, private, century-old apple orchard.
