A 14,000-square-foot mansion on a 17-acre estate in Greenwich has sold for $13.5 million, one of the largest residential sales in Fairfield County so far this year, according to brokers involved in the deal.
The property, at 74 Upper Cross Road, was renovated extensively last year under the direction of prominent Greenwich designer Linda Ruderman, according to Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, which represented the seller.
Coldwell Banker declined to identify the buyer and seller, but public records show the buyers are Robert F. and Nancy R. Young. Robert Young is the co-founder and chief executive of the software company Red Hat and the founder of self-publishing web site Lulu.com.
The seller was Springbell Farm Inc., whose president is biotech billionaire Randal J. Kirk, records show.
The house has seven bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two half bathrooms. A two-story dinning area off the gourmet kitchen leads to entertaining terraces, which include an outdoor kitchen and seating area around a firepit. In addition, there is an in-ground pool and log-cabin guest house.
Kathryn Clauss, one of the two Coldwell Banker sales associates involved in the sale, said the house was renovated over a two-year period and includes custom-made furnishings. The house was sold fully furnished.
“This recent residential sale is a sign that there is strong confidence in the luxury real estate market in Greenwich and throughout Fairfield County,” said Joseph Valvano, sales manager of Coldwell Banker offices in Greenwich and Old Greenwich.
