About the Home

Welcome to Le Beau Chateau, a grand French-style manor house originally built in 1937 on a 52 acre property restored and reimagined by Reed & Delphine Krakoff to perfection. Boasting pedigree, provenance and stunning design, this timeless and priceless estate (formerly owned by copper heiress Huguette Clark) has been magically transformed with a deep respect for its history, and a seamless infusion of bespoke finishes, quiet luxury and comfort connecting with the natural light and views beyond. Surrounded by open meadows, gentle streams and woodlands, the extraordinary property has been thoughtfully enhanced amid rolling lawns, wildflower gardens, specimen trees, a gorgeous pool and tennis court. Also includes 2 cottages; a 2 BR caretakers cottage - 1096 sq ft and an exercise pavilion 1296 sqft. This enchanting compound remains one of Fairfield County's last great private estates.
