1900 dairy barn became one of Darien’s most unusual homes — first look!

Althea Farm, 450 Middlesex Road, Darien, is a circa-1900 dairy barn converted into a 5,156-square-foot, six-bedroom residence — double-height great room under the original frame, walk-out lower level, and a ~1,200-square-foot stable outbuilding where the original cow stalls still stand. It sits on 2.0 acres roughly 1,500 feet from the Ox Ridge Riding & Racquet Club, the 1914 equestrian institution that was itself founded on a dairy farm — the two properties are the last of the road’s farming DNA.
The house has been in one family for decades and comes to market this fall. Price on request.
