$13.5 million Stone Manor brings old-world castle charm to Greenwich
An extraordinary castle-like estate in Connecticut brings a touch of old-world opulence to one of the state’s most upscale neighborhoods, lending a rare sense of regal elegance to an area already famous for its over-the-top mansions.
Known as Loch Lane Manor, the striking stone house has almost doubled in price since it last changed hands in 2020 for $6.9 million, and recently came back on the market for the high price of $13.5 million.
The custom-built mansion sits on 3.22 acres in the heart of a picture-perfect lot in Greenwich, CT, an extremely expensive suburb where the average list price is currently $3.3 million, nearly eight times the national median of $429,500.
But even in a place where luxury seems to ooze from every perfectly manicured blade of grass and impeccably laid brick, Loch Lane stands out from the crowd, combining old-world European grandeur with modern luxury in over 11,000 square feet of living space.
At first glance, the house’s storybook architecture, with its stone facade, oculus windows and handsome turrets, gives the impression of a centuries-old country house. Extensive lawns and carefully landscaped gardens only enhance the feeling that you have stumbled upon the residence of European royalty.
The effect is completely intentional. The six-bedroom estate was custom-built in 2010 and includes a main residence, guest house and pool house, all designed to capture the charm and grandeur of a historic property.
“The residence, pool house and guesthouse are united by their beautiful stone construction and slate roofs, demonstrating a level of craftsmanship rarely achieved today,” says agent Leslie McElwreath.
According to McElwreath, the property would be almost impossible to reproduce today, at least not at a feasible price, largely due to the rising costs of materials, including the beautiful stone that covers much of the estate’s exterior.
“In the current building environment, the cost of reproducing an estate of this quality and substance would far exceed the acquisition cost,” the broker notes.
Inside, custom millwork, high ceilings, and elegant formal spaces create an atmosphere that is grand and welcoming. Large windows, white walls and carefully curated finishes create a surprisingly bright and contemporary aesthetic that feels fresh rather than formal.
A terrace that extends the entire length of the house serves as a natural extension of these spaces.
“The expansive rear patio spans the length of the home and is designed as a true outdoor destination, complete with a built-in fireplace and multiple areas for relaxation and entertaining,” says McElwreath.
“With direct access from all main rooms on the ground floor, the terrace becomes an integral part of the home’s elegant lifestyle.”
Beyond the terrace, beautifully landscaped grounds unfold around a resort-style swimming pool and pool house. Recent improvements have further increased the appeal of the property.
According to McElwreath, the current owners have upgraded the pool house with a kitchenette and also refinished the lower level of the main house with a gym, media room, bar and additional recreation rooms.
Despite its private location, the estate is conveniently located close to the center of Greenwich, with quick access to the boutiques and restaurants of North Street.
“Perfectly situated for today’s lifestyle, the home offers the tranquility of a private cul-de-sac setting without sacrificing convenience,” says McElwreath. “This is a property that offers a range of amenities that are rarely found in one offering.”
