Rob Zombie's Former Weston Estate Lists for $6.5 Million

A 15.57-acre estate in Weston, Connecticut once owned by rock icon Rob Zombie has hit the market for $6,500,000. Known as the Origami House, 10 Dragonwood Lane comes with a story as unusual as its architecture: a koi pond that wraps around and slips beneath a portion of the house, its water visible through a glass-covered interior viewing corridor. William Martin of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.

The 8,500-square-foot residence was conceived by Leroy Street Studio, the Manhattan architecture firm behind its folded-geometry design, with sculptural cube-like forms and expansive glass walls that blur the line between indoors and out. A Glass Great Room inspired by I.M. Pei’s Louvre Pyramid anchors one corner of the home, opening onto a terrace that overlooks two cascading waterfalls within the koi sanctuary, where the fish themselves were imported directly from Japan. The four-bedroom layout also includes a gourmet chef’s kitchen with a separate scullery and walk-in pantry, a lower-level kitchenette, a private office and library with its own entrance, an artist’s studio, and a private gym overlooking the waterfalls. A Savant smart-home system, six independently controlled HVAC zones, and a heated three-car garage round out the technical amenities.

The estate was originally commissioned for Tony Award winning director Des McAnuff and sculptor Bryna McCann, and Hemingway Fine Homes later earned HOBI Awards for Best Outdoor Living Environment and Best Exterior Home Remodel for its work on the property. The offering spans four subdivided parcels totaling roughly 15.57 acres: 10 Dragonwood Lane at 5.52 acres, 8 Dragonwood Lane at 3.24 acres, 6 Dragonwood Lane at 4.10 acres, and 4 Dragonwood Lane at 2.71 acres, bordered by a nature preserve. Between the private tennis court, a spa-inspired primary suite with its own meditation garden, and a driveway lined with flowering cherry trees, the Origami House reads less like a single-family home than a compound, one now available as a full-time residence or a weekend retreat away from the city.
