Steeped in Balinese influence, this estate is designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings through thoughtful architecture and organic materials. 20 Thunder Mountain Road in Greenwich, CT, is a 10,000-square-foot, eight-bedroom home (pics) that was built in 2008 on land that was once part of the historic Carnegie family estate.
A koi pond at the entrance, crossed by a stone footbridge, sets a peaceful tone. Expansive glass walls invite natural light and frame views of the landscape, where a 25-meter perimeter overflow pool extends from the patio, creating a visual connection with the outdoor space and enhancing the resort-like ambiance. The grounds also feature an enclosed tennis and basketball court softened by climbing vines, as well as Chinese granite terraces and enormous natural rock formations that enhance the property’s organic feel.
High ceilings and the use of African wenge wood add warmth and depth to the interiors. Built with a focus on sustainability, the home incorporates recycled materials, including repurposed wood and stone, along with internationally sourced finishes. The master bath features an oversized travertine marble tub basin with a waterfall spout. Additional amenities include a home theater, an exercise room, and a wine cellar.
The property last sold in 2018 for just over $5 million.
