That's some powerful fung shui

17 Hemlock Drive (pictures have been pulled), which wouldn’t sell at $9.850 million during all of 2021, has now been sold for $10.390. Chinese owners, Chinese agent, who found her own buyer: also Chinese?

I wonder whether the new owners actually saw the place before plunking down their cash because if they did, they must have been very disappointed that its online description as being “nestled in the bucolic hills” of Greenwich was ah, slightly exaggerated — “just a short stroll to Route One and the Mercedes dealer” might have been more accurate. Oh, well, the Chinese communists have been overselling their promises of freedom and prosperity for almost 75 years, so they’re probably used to a bit of hyperbole.

Hemlock Castle offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home that is truly regal. Nestled in the bucolic hills of CT's Gold Coast, Greenwich's largest castle has 14 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, and 8 fireplaces. It offers unparalleled luxury living just minutes from downtown Greenwich and 45 minutes to Manhattan.
