For $31.5 Million, This Greenwich WOW Estate Is on the Market

There's a pool, putting greens, a tennis court — and a walk-in fireplace in the manor formerly owned by actor Mel Gibson.

Old Mill Farm sweeps across 75 backcountry Greenwich acres and showcases magical James Doyle flower and maze gardens lacing a stunning Elizabethan Tudor manor.

There are 15 bedrooms, 10 baths with 7 partial bathrooms in the home on Old Mill Road. The manor, formerly owned by actor-director Mel Gibson, has a terraced pool, tennis court, six-stall horse stable, granite-stone guest outbuilding, and a spring-fed lake, according to the listing.

George L. Ohrstrom, a prosperous 1920s investment banker and decorated WWI pilot, commissioned brilliant architect Charles Lewis Bowman to create an enduring country gentleman’s estate complete with extensive bridle trails that are still enjoyed today. Emerging after 75 years with museum-quality restoration and updates showcasing imported English 17th-Century paneling and staircase, a grand walk-in fireplace.
