Sort of Conyers Farm south, which will probably appeal

39 Brookridge Drive, 18,000 sq. ft. of new construction, has been listed today with a guide price of $28.5 million. That’s a size and a price that was once more commonly seen up in the Conyers Farm development with its 10+ acre minimum lots, and this one has just 2.4 acres, but if you’re not an equestrian, do you really need or want a paddock and stables and be a half-hour from town?

Conyers Farm prices softened, then plummeted after the 2008 crash and never recovered: buyers’ tastes changed. So this one might very well work better for an uber-rich buyer. And if such a buyer truly insists on being a faux-Englishman, the gardener can set out a Havahart or two and catch all the foxes needed to feed that illusion.
