Bill Steinkraus' Grand Island Estate is for Sale

Would you like an address to impress?  Look no further than to the late Bill Steinkraus' Grand Island in Darien, CT.  It can be yours for a cool $120M.  This place is incredible, irreplaceable and tasteful. For the horse and boat lover, this estate (it's an island) has it all.  It's dock can accommodate an 100-foot yacht for the boating enthusiast. 

The 63-acre estate has an 18-stall barn, indoor and outdoor grand prix arenas, a 13,000 foot main house built in 1905 with 15 foot ceilings and 7 fireplaces.

Purchased in the early 1900s by baking powder tycoon William Ziegler, the estate that lies just 50 miles north of New York City has remained in the family ever since. 

 According to the listing, following the death of William Ziegler in 1905, his granddaughter Helen Ziegler-Steinkraus lived on Great Island with her husband William Steinkraus, the famous equestrian.  Ms. Steinkraus died in 2012, and Mr. Steinkraus passed in 2017.  The family has said that they are selling off the island because the “next generation has moved to other places.”

Love this place!
