The stately 1929 abode underwent a multi-million dollar expansion in 2014.
for the Taggart family, known to have ties to the Rockefellers. Orchard’s End, as it’s been named, would go on to change hands three more times and nearly double its footprint. As for the manse’s current owners, Orchard’s End was big, but clearly not big enough. Per the listing, they “felt that it lacked sufficient living space for the family to gather comfortably together.” So, they hired Wadia to make it happen. A New Caanan, Connecticut estate just hit the market for $14.9 million.
Nowhere is that old-meets-new feel on display more than the latter, which was said to be inspired by a Castle Duart in Scotland, which was a filming location for multiple movies, including the Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones 1999 hit. It was built with soaring 35-foot ceilings, a giant stone fireplace, heated Tunisian marble flooring, a second-floor mezzanine balcony and custom bronze handrails. The final result perfectly matched the grandeur of the original home.
Named Orchard’s End, the home was originally built by William Tubby and expanded upon by Dinyar Wadia. Wadia also made way for a brand new four-bedroom guest house, resort-style swimming pool and 5,000-square-foot wellness center. It includes a yoga studio, two gyms and a sauna. And that’s just the beginning. The owners also requested the estate’s old horse stables be converted into a carriage house.
Attributing to its perks, the 35-room Orchard’s End has a slew of amenities to its name. Of note are an outdoor basketball court, second-floor game room, wine cellar, library and movie theater. Elsewhere on the 6.5-acre lot are formal gardens and a 1,500-foot-long stone wall that lines the perimeter of the property.
