We kwamen het hier al eerder tegen, het stond al langere tijd te koop: het voormalige woonverblijf van de Familie Bailey.
De verkoper heeft aardig water bij de wijn moeten doen, maar nu is het dan toch wel van eigenaar veranderd.

Bailey Circus family’s storied Westchester farm sells for $3.8M
Stable genius: George Fox Bailey, the son of Bailey Circus founder Hachaliah Bailey (inset, bottom left), once owned in this 26-acre Westchester horse farm.
A 19th-century Westchester County horse farm once owned by the Bailey family — of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus — has sold for $3.85 million.
It first asked $6.95 million in 2017.
Long before it was part of the “Greatest Show on Earth,” George Fox Bailey, the son of Bailey Circus founder Hachaliah Bailey, owned the property — at 306 Hardscrabble Road in North Salem, New York — in the 1840s.
He eventually took the circus nationwide and became a partner in the P. T. Barnum show.
By the 20th century, the spread was owned by a family of dairy farmers.
The current sellers were Paul Friedman, a former network news producer, and his wife Gillian, whose renovation in 2000 added a great room/family room with a Christopher Peacock farmhouse kitchen to the Federal-style home.
One buyer made it rein to acquire the Westchester County equestrian estate.

The horse farm boasts a massive 5,285 square feet of living space.
At 5,285 square feet, it features five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a powder room. The property also features two barns, 25 horse stalls and both indoor and outdoor rings.
There’s also a pool, a putting green and gardens — over 26 acres. The annual Golden’s Bridge Hounds fox hunt, one of the country’s oldest, runs through the property every fall.
