10 Cliffdale Road, 1939 house, 66 acres, $35 million price tag.

A little bit of its history can be found in this WSJ article:

A 66-acre estate in Greenwich, Conn., has been in the same family since it was built in 1940. Now it is going on the market for $35 million.

The property has more land than most in the affluent suburb, which is located about 30 miles northeast of Manhattan, according to listing agent Peter Janis of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties. It has a seven-bedroom house as well as a barn, apple orchard, two greenhouses and vegetable gardens.

The house was built by Edwin John Beinecke, according to seller Barbara Robinson, widow of Beinecke’s grandson John Robinson. The family’s company, Sperry & Hutchinson, made S&H Green Stamps, a 19th- and 20th-century customer-rewards program in which shoppers collected stamps they earned from grocery-store or gas-station spending and exchanged them for rewards, she said. The family launched a digital version of the stamps in the early 2000s before selling the company in 2006, said former S&H executive Carl Norloff, who recently purchased the brand with plans to relaunch it.

John, an executive at Sperry & Hutchinson, visited the estate frequently growing up, said Barbara. Around 1980, the Robinsons bought the property from Beinecke’s estate, attracted by the prospect of growing their own food, according to Barbara, who said she doesn’t know how much they paid for it.

John died in 2020, and Barbara, an octogenarian, has decided to downsize to a smaller home in Greenwich, she said. Perry Robinson, their son, said he and his siblings don’t want the property because they all have their own homes.
