Massive Southington Estate Still on the Market

SOUTHINGTON, CT — A 9.36-acre, British-style estate on Winding Ridge is still on the market.

The listing said offers were being taken on Monday, which translates into it not selling at auction on Friday. New York City-based Concierge Auctions had been handling the sale via the firm’s Instant Gavel mobile app.

A spokeswoman for the firm said a strategy session is scheduled for Tuesday.

The estate at 340 Winding Ridge features custom finishes both inside and out including aged Virginia brick exterior and beveled Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, according to the listing.

The four-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence features a two-story family room, floor-to-ceiling windows, and French doors leading to a granite in-laid swimming pool and spa with a sauna and steam room, according to the listing.

The home, designed by award-winning Soyster and Taylor, is a past winner of “Best Custom Library” and “Overall Best Custom Home” from the Home Builders Association of Connecticut.

The English estate spans 8,049 square feet, including a finished basement, according to the listing.

The seller, Richard Fedor, is a gaming tech entrepreneur, who is the founder of GameFission and previously served as a senior executive at Hewlett Packard and GTE, and executive vice president at International Game Technology – which developed much of the slot machine technology seen in today’s casinos, according to the listing.

In a pre-auction interview, Fedor said he designed the home room-by-room with custom features through each door, including inside the 11-seat theater.

He also said he had mixed feelings about the sale, but acknowledged he and his wife were now spending their time in Florida.

The minimum was the $1.9 million in reserve, but Fedor said he put more than $8 million into the estate.
