Perched at the southernmost tip of Shippan Point, 123 Saddle Rock Road in Stamford, CT, is surrounded on three sides by Long Island Sound, offering stunning water views from sunrise to sunset with the Manhattan skyline as a striking backdrop. Sold in 2021 for $7.5 million, the property set a record for Stamford’s highest-ever residential waterfront sale at the time.
The property was built for inventor Thomas Robins in 1914. Robbins collaborated with Thomas Edison on the development of a conveyor belt for transporting coal and ore. Robins’ innovation gained international recognition, earning him the grand prize at the Paris Exposition in 1900, and making him exceptionally wealthy.
The stone-clad main house (photos, video), masterfully designed by Hunt & Hunt, is accessed through an impressive gatehouse that sets the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, you’ll discover an oak-paneled library, a sun-drenched solarium, and six meticulously designed bedrooms, all thoughtfully positioned to showcase breathtaking views. Among the hidden treasures is a discreet wine cellar, perfect for any collector. The second-floor primary suite features a private balcony that offers sweeping vistas, including a glimpse of the New York City skyline.
The property takes full advantage of its nearly 1,000 feet of water frontage. A saltwater pool, complete with a pool house and cabana, provides a space for hosting or unwinding. A private boat launch offers convenient access to the Sound, and a separate guest house adds accommodation for visitors. Set on 1.67 acres of professionally landscaped grounds, the property includes natural rock outcroppings and walking paths.
