Mid country pachyderm

3X the size of 22 Mimosa, and less than twice the price

65 Clapboard Ridge Road, all 4 acres and 14,400 square feet of it, is back on the market and asking $7.495 million. That’s down considerably from the March, 2015 opening ask of $12.495, and isn’t even the $10 million paid for it in 2007.

It’s certainly a lot of house, and someone’s bound to want it, but when, and at what price? We needn’t lose sleep over the seller’s being stuck here, though; the Goldman alumnus bought some of Mario Gabelli’s land at 135 Field Point Circle for $10.250 back in 2014, and by now he’s surely built new lodgings and moved in. This one’s ready for its new owners.
