Westport Mediterranean
Redevelopment

“For me, design is a deeply intuitive art —one that unfolds around the lives of those it’s meant to elevate. Every detail is considered through the lens of the client, ensuring that beauty is not only seen, but felt in how the space is lived in.”

Beautifully sited on 2 serene acres on a coveted street in the heart of Greens Farms, 61 Clapboard Hill Road is a prime location minutes from town, train and beaches. Down a gated circular drive, the stately Mediterranean home, which dates back to 1929, and detached two car garage, has been meticulously transformed.

Envisioned as a sanctuary, the current residence is embraced by nature. Spanning over 3,400 square feet, the meticulously crafted living space boasts 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 1 half bath, living and dinning rooms and a magnificent sun room with original windows. This visionary restoration and renovation defines unparalleled elegance and functionality. 

Surrounded by mature trees, the large and level acreage offers room for a pool and tennis court to complete the retreat.

Inspired by the Mediterranean architecture, design of hacienda living seen in Santa Barbara and Majorca, we believe there is an opportunity to redevelop the property by over doubling the size of existing home thus creating a ~8,00 square foot, and adding amenities such as an attached garage, guest and wellness pavilion including a gym, pool, spa and tennis court.

Cost and Return Analysis

The following illustrates the Cost and Return Analysis for the 61 Clapboard Hill Road project. The projected total project costs are $12MM, requiring $3.4MM of equity based on financing of 75-80% loan-to-cost.

The projected return on total cost is 41%. The investor profit based on 80% of the total profit of $1.735MM, is circa $1.4MM, a net project IRR of 22.5%. We believe the projected total sale of completed project is reasonable and achievable.

We’re projecting a conservative development term of ~26 months but may vary slightly depending on the length of time to obtain approvals. 

Based on comparable sales in 2025 and 2026, we feel confident in selling an incredibly special and one-of-a-kind home, one that speaks to the romance of being located one of Westport’s pre-eminent neighborhoods where there aren’t many brand new homes on the market at the level we design and create.

Designing is an organic process, one that comes naturally based on who the intended users will be. As such, I always approach design from the standpoint of the end user. I take an intimate approach to emotive design – curated craftsmanship defines my aesthetic and projects.”
