A RICH HISTORY: The manor was once owned by Ogden Phipps, a well-known name in the world of horse racing. His family founded the famous Wheatley Stable, and he went on to graduate from Harvard and serve as a Naval commander in World War II. A man of many skills, Phipps won the United States tennis championship seven times. His favorite horse was Personal Ensign, who took a stunning 13 victories and retired with a flawless record. This splendid home stands as a monument to his life and successes and is ready to avail a new and deserving owner.
