Forty miles from Midtown Manhattan, nine miles from downtown Greenwich, and minutes from the East Coast’s best beaches sits Conyers Farm, a world-renowned luxury neighborhood ranked among Forbes’ “Most Exclusive Gated Communities in America.” With an extensive network of country roads ideal for morning jogs and biking, an exclusive polo field and nearly 1500 acres of mature woodlands surrounding the area, Conyers Farm offers unparalleled privacy, year-round natural beauty, entertainment of all types, and room to grow. It’s also home to one spectacular residence: 21 Hurlingham Drive.
Hurlingham’s Georgian architecture, expansive driveway and columned front entrance make a stately first impression that goes well beyond curb appeal. Just inside, the airy foyer, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, welcomes soft, ambient light to the hallways and open second floor. A short stroll to the back of the home reveals a cheery kitchen with a bay-window breakfast nook overlooking the large, picturesque backyard. During small get-togethers, the kitchen island serves as the perfect meeting place, while the foyer and backyard easily accommodate up to 300 guests during large gatherings.
Though this property has space in abundance, its rooms are comfortable, not cavernous. Fireplaces add warmth to six of the home’s living and dining rooms while French doors open onto four terraces overlooking the pool, gardens, greenhouse, backyard and woods beyond. Suite-style bedrooms, a temperature-controlled 3,000-bottle wine cellar and owner’s suite with his-and-her bathrooms and an elegant sitting room ensure guests can retreat to their own private spaces at the end of the day, vintage in-hand. Yet the best (and quietest) seat in the house may be found in the home’s private “jewelbox” movie theater, custom-designed by the industry-notable Theo Kalomirakis.
Polo is held every June, July and September on Conyers Farm’s exclusive field, a favorite amongst the British royal family. In September, hot air balloons, live music and family activities replace horses for annual festivals. But arguably, the best sports and activities are just down the road at 21 Hurlingham. Soccer matches and football games are a part of daily living in the warm months, thanks to the home’s large, open grass field (one of the largest in Conyers Farm). Winter finds Hurlingham’s residents and guests playing hockey on the property’s chilled hockey rink, which converts back to a tennis court in the summer months. Those looking for relaxation can be grounded in the climate-controlled English greenhouse or look to the sky through the home’s state-of-the-art telescope at the clamshell observatory.
Hurlingham’s lifestyle amenities, entertaining potential and unique opportunities for enjoyment in all seasons make it the ideal setting for families and friends to take root, flourish, play, and laugh; to spend time around the fire, on the ice, in the pool — and in the moment, together. So sip a glass of wine on the terrace. Take a spot by the fire or a shot on goal. Stargaze. Take your place at the table or a stroll through the gardens. Because the things that matter, no matter what, are found in the everyday, at home.
