WEEKEND ESCAPES Co nnecticut


Introduction Connecticut is experiencing a renaissance as a second home destination, but the region has long lured movers, shakers and tastemakers northward from New York City. It’s a story as old as our own. Our founder, William Van Duzer Lawrence, arrived as a weekender nearly 130 years ago when he purchased Prescott Farm in Bronxville, NY, building a summer home where his family could retreat while work was completed on the Fifth Avenue mansion he commissioned from legendary architect Richard Morris Hunt. Taken by the area’s unique beauty and realizing the potential in sharing it with others, he developed the remainder of the farm into Lawrence Park, inspired by Barbizon in France’s Fontainebleau Forest. Lawrence established a Manhattan sales office and built a hotel, The Gramatan, where urban dwellers could sample the area’s relaxed lifestyle. Over a century later, the draws of our area haven’t changed, and nobody knows the journey here better than Houlihan Lawrence. From Greenwich to Westport, virtually every lifestyle is possible in easy reach of the city. Let us show you the way.



Seclusion In Luxury Nature is the only fence you need, and your “scene” isn’t always being out on the town – it’s intellectualizing over a fire pit in good company. Lately, Connecticut has emerged as a Hamptons alternative, drawing highprofile residents seeking a relaxed, low-profile escape. Space is the ultimate luxury, and we have plenty of it. From equestrian estates to massive woodland compounds, our area’s grandest properties offer privacy in the enchanting surrounds of the innate beauty Southern New England is known for. Our large tracts of land are a canvas for crafting your dreams, facilitating every possible amenity.

On The Waterfront The rippling of tides, the tranquility of still water, the salted air. For you, h2o is the only way to go. With rivers, reservoirs and the sea, our area boasts every type of water lifestyle imaginable, whether it’s best enjoyed in swim trunks, topsiders and salmon shorts or donning a bucket hat in a dory with reel in hand. The shores of Long Island Sound keep boat and beach within striking distance for a daily Manhattan commute. Yachting culture thrives, with sandy beaches often steps away.
