A Storied Past Built in 1937, the grand French-style manor was purchased by Huguette Clark in 1951, but it remained empty for over six decades while Clark lived in seclusion in a Manhattan hospital. Upon her death at 104 in 2011, the estate continued to sit untouched, furthering its mystery and allure. Now, after being meticulously restored by renowned fashion designer Reed Krakoff and interior designer Delphine Krakoff, the property has been given a new life while paying homage to its storied past.

The property, known as "Le Beau Chateau," showcases a seamless blend of history and innovation, with elegant interiors that capture the timeless luxury of a bygone era. The estate includes sprawling meadows, tranquil streams, wildflower gardens, and carefully restored architecture that evokes a sense of grandeur and grace.

Surrounded by lush woodlands and open space, Le Beau Chateau is an oasis of peace and luxury, tucked away in Fairfield County’s serene countryside.
