The Reimagining of a Landmark
There’s a house in Pound Ridge that for years was known as that house. But by the time John Roa and Candice Milano arrived at this once-beloved residence, it was barely standing. Sagging into the earth with no foundation to speak of, it had become more ruin than retreat. Most prospective buyers didn’t make it past the front door…
Martha Stewart’s Master Farrier
Martha calls on the Master Farrier, Michael Wildenstein, ‘the Hoof Doctor’, to come for a ‘barn call’.

July|Aug ‘25 President’s Note
One of the real treats of publishing B&NC MAG is getting you in to see some of the most spectacular homes in our area. We feature great real estate in most issues, but in this annual Homes Issue we focus on one outstanding property after another.
Absolutely Inspirational Ali Truwit
A year after losing her leg in a shark attack, Ali Truwit won two Paralympic silver medals in Paris and launched a foundation supporting girls in need of prosthetics, water safety, and the Paralympic movement. She’s been featured on national TV, at global events—and now in the swimsuit issue Sports Illustrated too!
La Samanna
La Samanna has been a favorite retreat for those in-the-know since it opened in 1973, and has been only more prized since the complete renovation of the resort in 2018 under the ownership of LVMH’s Belmond hotel group.
David & Nicki Pogue
David Pogue is the kind of famous where just about everyone recognizes him as a somebody, while it might take a minute to realize that he’s the seven- time Emmy winning correspondent on CBS Sunday Morning who — in 35 stories each year — explains anything and everything that’s complicated.
The Ocean Club
The Ocean Club, now a part of the Four Seasons portfolio, is the iconic resort known as the ‘Crown Jewel of the Bahamas’.
Marissa Winikour & Judah Miller
Marissa Winokur is a star of stage and screen, most famous for having played Tracy Turnblad in the Broadway production of Hairspray, and Judah Miller is a comedy writer who most recently wrote and was the showrunner for the television series called Bupkis. Together, Marissa and Judah are amongst the elite of ‘Hollywood’ power couples… and in 2021, they bought a house in Bedford!

2024 18U18
Bedford & New Canaan Magazine's fifth annual 18 Under 18 section is always the highlight of our September/October Education Issue… and every year we are more and more impressed with the achievements of the 18 selected students - and with the quality of the hundreds of nominees entered. We have an incredibly difficult time narrowing down the list because of the intriguing paths that so many different students have selected. From Singers and Dancers to a Mountain Climber, Engineers and Activists, a Filmmaker, and even a Speed Cuber... we are particularly excited by this class!
Congrats to this year’s B&NC 18 Under 18! We hope you'll enjoy the well-earned plaudits of the community.

Warren & Stefani Haynes
Warren Haynes is most famous for being a member of the Allman Brothers, playing with The Dead, leading his band Gov’t Mule, and a whole lot of other collaborative and solo work…but around the B&NC MAG area, Warren and his wife, Stefani, and their son Hudson, are just…proud B&NC locals!

July|Aug ‘24 President’s Letter
Summer is my favorite time around here, and this season is especially bountiful.
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.
