“Real Housewives of New York” alum Bethenny Frankel made waves just a couple of months ago when she announced on Instagram that she and her daughter were moving to Florida. In the video, Frankel shares that she will maintain residences in The Hamptons and New York City. So, what about her Greenwich, Connecticut estate that she bought in 2021 for $4.25 million? It has already sold for $7,825,000.
The property, known as Applejack Farm, is among the tony town’s oldest homes—dating back almost three centuries to 1743. However, Frankel, known for her no-nonsense product reviews on social media, updated the property with the same attitude her followers know and love. And, she isn’t the only notable owner to have lived here. Former Connecticut governor Lowell Weicker and his wife owned Applejack Farm from 1989 until 2001.
So, what did the self-proclaimed chicken salad queen trade in for her new South Florida lifestyle? The historic 6,500-square-foot main home spans five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two half-baths. Of course, touches of glam grace the interiors. The kitchen makes a statement with black cabinetry and white counters and a living room boasts a green textured ceiling—all while wood beams, brick fireplaces, and ornate moldings fill the home. The three-acre property also includes a two-bed, two-bath guest cottage and a party barn.
The entrepreneur, who recently strutted down the runway in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show during Miami Swim Week, cited “personal and professional reasons” for the move. Jeff Jackson of Corcoran Centric Realty represented the celebrity listing, while Martha Z. Jeffrey and Anne Z. Ogilvy of Sotheby’s International Realty represented to buyer.
