A true Tudor-style home is found on a sprawling equestrian estate in Wilton and New Canaan, listed for $24,900,000 (also available for rent). Horse enthusiasts may want to reserve an entire day to tour the 154-acre spread that includes an 8,000-square-foot, 11-stall barn, two lakes, stocked ponds and manmade waterfalls that turn on and off with the flip of a switch. Called Quiet Lake, the circa-1920s main-house interiors have 11 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and a 2,000-bottle wine cellar. And if you go in for dramatic entrances, plan to arrive via helicopter—there are two helipads to choose from. Gail Murphy of the Higgins Group has the listing.
