The former waterfront estate of the late Oscar-winning actor Christopher Plummer has reentered the real estate market in Darien, Connecticut. Listed by Compass Connecticut, the property is currently asking $12.995 million.
Located at 209 Long Neck Point Road, the residence is a historic 7,610-square-foot Colonial home originally constructed in 1866. The estate sits on 1.17 acres of land and includes 200 feet of direct waterfront access, a private beach, and a swimming pool. Interior features include five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and restored architectural details that preserve the home’s 19th-century charm.
Christopher Plummer, who passed away in 2021 at the age of 91, was a legendary figure in theater and film, famously holding the “Triple Crown of Acting”—an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony. While he resided in this Darien estate during the late 1970s, he spent his final four decades in a home in Weston, Connecticut. Following his passing, his widow, Elaine Taylor, made headlines for donating eight acres of their Weston property to the Aspetuck Land Trust to support local conservation efforts.
Town property records indicate the Darien estate last changed hands in 2015 for $11.2 million. The home has seen various market listings over the past several years, but current owners have recently completed extensive renovations to update the property while maintaining its historical integrity. Real estate agents Shelly Tretter Lynch and Yashmin Lloyds are managing the listing.
