A guide to vintage, antique, and thrift
Anthony Cutugno & Benjamin Mauldin
What began as a love affair with the French countryside has evolved into a way of life. At their historic Waccabuc home, Anthony Cutugno and Benjamin Mauldin have created their own slice of Provence, cultivating orchards, gardens, and a lifestyle centered around entertaining, cooking, and the simple pleasures of country living.
ELISA BULGRIN: ON THE LAND
Inspired by the farms of her Australian upbringing, Elisa Bulgrin set out to create a place where her own children could connect to the land. Along the way, she discovered a creative calling of her own, transforming a New Canaan property into Longfield Farm and building a life deeply rooted in beauty, community, and the land itself.
Gregory Goodwin & The Gentlemen’s Farmstead
Animals were Gregory Goodwin's refuge long before Gentlemen's Farmstead existed. What started as a passion for chickens, gardens, and country living has evolved into a Katonah farmstead filled with goats, sheep, gatherings, and a growing community of like-minded enthusiasts.
A Darien Waterfront Masterpiece
Perched atop the rocky shores of Darien's Contentment Island, this remarkable waterfront home is as much about the view as the architecture itself. Thoughtfully designed to dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, it offers a masterclass in modern coastal living.
Elmdon: A Waccabuc Gem
Built in 1780 as the first homestead of the Mead family, Elmdon is a pillar of Waccabuc charm. Set on open land and thoughtfully restored to retain its original millwork, fireplaces, and character, the estate offers a refined take on historic country living.
Bedford Royalty
Paul Bluhdorn and Anni de Saint Phalle are something of a throwback to the European nobility of the 18th and 19th Centuries. Popular amongst the Martha Stewart set, but relatively unknown - until now - by most others, they live in a residence ‘fit for a king’, and queen, on one of Bedford’s finest estates, called Blue Meadows.
To The Nines in New Canaan
Jordan and Andrew Terner are delightful. They’re entertaining and enjoyable, family-focused, and fun. They moved into their fabulous farmhouse, across the street from the Glass House, in 2017. And their daughter, Cybil, was born in 2023. …They are an ‘it’ couple in New Canaan these days!
An Exquisite Estate
This Bedford Country Estate, completed in 2007, has the timeless feeling of a cottage in the Cotswolds and the stately presence of a made-for-today American mansion.
The Mather Homestead
Of the 65 nationally registered historic landmarks in Connecticut, only one resides in Darien—a 1778 colonial home, now known as the Mather Homestead. One of the finest examples of 18th-century architecture in Darien, and home to six generations of the Mather family, with each generation enriching the home’s tapestry of stories, Executive Director Heather Raker describes the Mather Homestead as a “treasure that captures the unique history of Darien.”
