The menu also includes the signature Crusted Tuna served with soy, wasabi rémoulade and seaweed salad; and the Chicken Milanese made with chopped Salad and lemon. Cap the evening off with irresistible desserts like the must-try Banana Parfait Mille Feuilles with coconut and caramel sauce or the decadent Strawberry Sundae served with shortcake, meringue, brandy, and cream. :

Connecticut Equestrian Estate

A FIRST LOOK AT DISCREET EQUESTRIAN ESTATES

BY ELIZABETH ELSTON

One of Connecticut’s most stunning and discreet equestrian estates is now available for private viewings for the first time. The sprawling 152-acre country escape comes courtesy of David Wildenstein – whose family controls the Wildenstein Institute, the world’s foremost art organization – and Lucrezia

Buccellati – the scion and co-creative director of the renowned Buccellati jewelry brand. A marriage of rustic American tranquility and Italian luxury, the property is located just 80 minutes from Manhattan at 1 Glenn Brook Farm Road in the quiet town of Sherman in Fairfield County -- where neighbors include bold faced names such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Bob Iger, Jeffrey Toobin and Rob Zombie.

“Wildenstein and Buccellati--these names are associated with fine art and the most exquisite jewelries, things that are beautiful, ultra-luxurious and chic” says Classiques Modernes lifestyle and realty expert, Loy Carlos. “David and Lucrezia are also true nature lovers who wanted to create a forward-looking agricultural estate for the production of eco-friendly, renewable crops like hemp and medicinal plants. It’s a different kind of luxury lifestyle that is both mindful and principled, and very much aligned with who they are.”

“Lucrezia and I wanted to build a home where we could enjoy the serenity of the woods, a return to quiet nature,” says Wildenstein. “She loves horses and I enjoy farming. We were growing hemp, for example, to explore its use as a viable alternative for wood to use in construction, to help combat

global warming. We are very much into organic farming as well. Sherman feels like a countryside within five minutes of suburban amenities and recreational facilities that are also essential to our family.”

Listing agent Kenneth J. Moore, President of Classiques Modernes says the estate is one of just five properties in the area boasting more than 50 acres. Built with easy expansion in mind, the 7,000-square-foot, open loft-style mansion features vaulted cathedral ceilings in the great room, six bedrooms and seven marble baths. Indoor amenities include a recreation room, home theater, gourmet kitchen with custom walnut millwork, Miele appliances and a Grand Terrace overlooking the bucolic grounds. For the owners, the terrace was a very important consideration. “Lucrezia very much wanted the house to feel open and the outdoors to be a part of our everyday living. It is something we enjoy whenever we are in Italy and the type of lifestyle she is accustomed to,” explains Wildenstein.

Surrounded by land trusts on three sides, the land is comprised of 25 acres of fields and 127 acres of woods, an 11-horse barn, as well as two scenic ponds and staff quarters. Because there are no conservation easements, the estate is ideal for agricultural and equine use, or even as a serene corporate retreat. Better still, it is subject to Public Act 490, meaning that real estate taxes are just $22,000 per year.
