Designed by prominent New York architects Hunt & Hunt for publishing magnate H.J. Fisher, Sabine Farm is a regal fieldstone manor on Round Hill in Greenwich. Spanning more than 19-acres of rolling lawns, allées of trees, and formal gardens, it is an idyllic farm that exceeds all expectations for a sophisticated country estate. Meticulously restored, original museum-quality appointments such as center-cut English oak paneling, plaster friezes, and handsome fireplaces were retained; while inspiring new décor by Pamela Banker Associates added imported wall coverings, carpets, and draperies.
