"Pebbles" | Iconic Sasco Hill Estate Timeless Design. Storied Past. Unrivaled Views. A distinguished Georgian Revival estate set on nearly 3 acres, the largest lot along this coveted stretch of Sasco Hill. With sweeping, unobstructed views of the Country Club of Fairfield, Southport Harbor, Long Island Sound, and the Manhattan skyline, this iconic property offers an extraordinary blend of privacy, presence, and provenance. Designed in 1927 by renowned architect Francis Hamilton, the home was later owned by Broadway producer John C. Wilson and his partner, the celebrated English playwright Noel Coward. Over the years, "Pebbles" became a summer retreat for a remarkable circle of artists and tastemakers, including Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Diana Vreeland, Jean Schlumberger, and Richard Rodgers. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated by each subsequent owner, the estate retains its grand-scale interiors, period details, and refined elegance. Expansive formal rooms, high ceilings, and sunlit living spaces open to terraces that overlook the water and the meticulously landscaped grounds, anchored by a striking pool featured in the 1968 film *The Swimmer* starring Burt Lancaster. This is more than a home-it's a rare opportunity to own a landmark property with architectural pedigree, cinematic history, and enduring coastal beauty-all within minutes of Southport Village, beaches, and NYC-bound trains.
