(May 2, 2014) – Sotheby’s International Realty – Greenwich Brokerage is pleased to announce that independent sales associate Lyn Stevens and her team have been selected to co-market a private family estate in Conyers Farm owned by Academy Award winning director, and renowned producer and actor Ron Howard and his wife Cheryl. The estate is located in the exclusive enclave of Conyers Farm, which straddles Greenwich and the hamlet of Armonk in Westchester, N.Y. The lakefront retreat is situated on more than 32 acres, surrounded by pristine woods, riding trails, and private parks with scenic lake views. The property is being offered at $27.5 million. Among the features are: a main residence offering more than 17,200 square-feet of living space, outdoor recreation areas, a working farm, a guest house, indoor sports complex, and an observatory. The Howards have owned the estate for 20 years and created their own private oasis with organic gardens, an indoor pool, barns, greenhouse, game rooms and a theatre. The property was designed for entertaining and family living, and has been the site of two weddings, numerous parties, family reunions and fundraisers. “We moved 3,000 miles away from the hub of Los Angeles, to raise our family here,” said Ron Howard. “Whether we’re watching films in our theatre, walking the trails throughout our property, star gazing in our observatory, or just relaxing with friends and loved ones by the lake, Cheryl and I feel we’ve accomplished the goals we set when we began work on this place. Our children are grown, so it’s time to move on, but the memories of this very special place will never leave us.” Long considered one of America’s treasured filmmakers, Howard is co-founder of Imagine Entertainment, an award winning film director, producer and actor. His films include Cocoon, Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind for which he won an Academy Award for Best Director and Best Picture. His most iconic acting roles include Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and Richie Cunningham in Happy Days. He has been awarded a Golden Globe and three Emmy Awards and has received numerous nominations and accolades. The main home is a classic New England estate that features six bedrooms, five full baths and four half baths, a private two-story library and office, a 14-seat theatre, indoor saltwater pool, gym and yoga studio. The home also offers an au pair suite with one bedroom and bath. Also on the property, is a 2,500-square foot guest house with two bedrooms and two full and one half baths, an indoor sports complex with a regulation size tennis court and basketball half court, and an observatory with a professional grade Meade telescope.
